Winter Woes

I think the end of January and first part of February has got to be the most dreary time of year in Utah. The inversion sets in, everyone gets a cold and I'm not sure Valentine's Day and President's Day actually count as real holidays. To make matters worse we were unable to go on the family trip to Santa Barbara this week and I kept seeing Adam post pictures of the beach on Facebook. Couldn't stop thinking of the great time all were having while I drove home in a blizzard from Evanston, Wyoming.

Well, enough of the negativity. We all get to go to Newport in about two weeks and I am trying to remain engaged in some kind of project around the house to keep me busy. I am currently working on adding some changes to our living room. Most of the furniture is from our old house and doesn't really fit well into the new house. Here are some pieces I've purchased and can't wait to get the whole project completed. What do you think? I started off ordering the chevron blue rug and now contemplating getting a plush velvet blue couch and white console for the TV. Ben's not so sure if all this white is manly enough for his tastes but I reassured him I'll add some more masculine elements in later. Now if only I can get Sam to do some paintings for the space.

  1. Wow! Very fancy! I can't wait to come see the changes. What will you do with your old things? We missed you guys in Santa Barbara. So sorry that you weren't there. And yes, this time of year is tough. I totally agree. I have a terrible cold... again. Oh well. :)
