Then I ripped about a million strips of each fabric to be that width.. OK, not a million, more like 6.
I also really miss having access to walking trails in city parks.We can walk the loop next to the creek around our property, which sounds so much better, but in reality I do really miss my old trails.
I adjust to these things though and as soon as I start on a new DIY project, or see my kids outside playing soccer next to the cornfield, I forget all about those little things.. Perspective.Remember that this isn’t just a house it’s an adventure, and one very few people get the chance to take.I do often find myself comparing my home to other new-build homes that I visit and feeling like we’re total failures for not being able to instantly get that fresh, new feeling happening in our old house.
I have to remind myself that we’re not just renovating a house, we’re living an adventure and it’s the kind of thing that builds amazing memories and creates a strong sense of identity for our family too.I can deal with some ugly walls for a few years for that!.
So if leaving your stressful city life and moving to the country is something you’ve always wanted to do, after having lived it for the last three years, I say go for it!
Just be smart about your money and try not to stress out about all the little things as much as I do.There are a few ways to do it, but the way I did it was using spray starch, since that’s what I had..
And yes, the yellow carpet is still there!.Of course, Kennedy was not super excited about the idea at first.
She’s on to me and my passing my blog projects off as “crafts”.I let her pick what kind of shape she’d like on her wall though and then she was all for it.. She must be reading blogs over my shoulder because trees on the wall are just the hottest thing in kids’ rooms right now..
