I can’t believe it’s already the middle of October! Where has this year gone?

We met with a good friend this morning (who just happens to be a pretty incredible architect) to discuss plans for our master bathroom. Of course I’ll be sharing that with you soon!  In the meantime, here’s what I’m up to…

Currently–

Reading: Nothing at the moment.

Writing: My Christmas wish list! Our family always exchanges lists at Thanksgiving (a tradition we are ALL thankful for!), so I want mine to be ready. Mom and I usually go shopping on Black Friday, and I try to knock out as much shopping as possible that day.

Listening: To Rehab Addict on DIY Network.  Love that show!!

Thinking: About having a little shop party for The Remedy House at our house in early December. We wouldn’t be moved in yet, and there wouldn’t be much furniture, but it could be a fun little “sneak peek” at the house…plus there would be lots of great TRH stuff to help you check off your holiday gift list! (And, of course, cocktails.) What do you think, local friends? Anyone interested?

Wishing: I could sleep in. Without fail, I always wake up by about 7:15 on weekends. Why is it so easy to go back to sleep when you have to get up, but when there’s nothing to do, you’re wide awake?! (And now, for your viewing pleasure: animals yawning!)

(If you made it through that without 1. getting happier and 2. yawning, you beat me!)

Hoping:  It doesn’t rain the entire week so that some work can get done on the exterior!

Wearing: Jeans and a cardigan. Yay for cooler weather!

Loving: Pretty much everything in the Threshold line at Target. I’ve only picked up one lampshade though, and here’s why–I see it on every blog and every commercial and every ad! I love it, but is my home going to look like everyone else’s if I start adding these pieces in? Who knows. Maybe I’m over-thinking this.

Wanting: This game! I’ve played it a few times and it never disappoints…especially after a few drinks! It’s basically the adult version of Apples to Apples, which is one of my favorites.

Feeling: Happy that fall has arrived, even if it was rainy all week. I guess I better dig out my cold weather clothes!

Clicking: This post on faux fur. Fur used to only be acceptable in a cabin set deep in the woods, but now you can use it anywhere. A neutral fur throw draped over a graphic chair could easily take a room from boring to chic. How good would a white fur look on my pink couch?! So glamorous!
