Home is where the heart is...unless there is a devil statue in the back yard!

This photo of my hubbie with Chris Powel has NOTHING to do with my post... But it caught your eye and it makes me forget that I am sad ;)  hehehe...GENA

We are currently in the process of selling our home and looking for a rental 

in a town close by...after Pinning just the perfect sign a few weeks back, 

I knew this would be a task I could conquer with ease!  

This was it...the sign that gave me hope, up until the pictures of rentals started rolling in.  You see what I realized is that moving from a house that I love, one that I designed every square inch of is proving to be hard on the ticker (as Tim McGraw would say!)  I truly  want the only standard of my new home to be "where my family is" and of course a big yard for them to play in so mama don't loose my mind, but for real, I'm  thinking I might be just  a bit more picky.  So today, I am making a list of what I DONT want my next house to be (don't worry Im not gonna sound like a whiny baby!...Welllll, maybe ;) )

1) I don't want blue turf style carpet or pink either for that matter...its out there people!


2) I can't do 8' ceilings with small windows...maybe I'm a little claustrophobic??


3) I don't want to live in something haunted, or something that even looks haunted for that matter! I mean, it's already someone else's house and I don't want to share it! ;)


4) I don't want a yard that I could personally toss my husband across or one that a game of hide and seek would last all of 3 seconds because we would be standing side by side.  (remember a yard for the kids to get lost in so mama doesn't loose her mind!)


5) I don't want orange, yellow, and purple walls (I love you who love color, I am just not one of them)


6) I don't want 3 stories!!  although...that would mean some rock hard legs; maybe I should re-think that one!


7)I don't want to live surrounded by tick infested scrub oak trees (and potentially even bigfoot)


8)  and last but not least... I don't want a statue of a "devil" sexually doing who knows what to an "angel" in the back yard (yup one house actually had one!)

See, my standards aren't that high!!!!  For real though I am trying to remember that our family makes our home and that home is where the heart is (minus scary stuff) but it's still a big deal for me...It's hard to leave the familiar that I love to move to the unknown, but I am putting on my big girl panties and trying to enjoy the adventure!  Not like this is a big deal to you all, but Ill keep you posted!  Hey, it's a new chance to re-decorate...and thats always a good thing!
Speaking of that, check out my new FB page Silver Nest Designs...it's an exciting thing for me to share my passion for creating with you all (that was a totally  unplanned shameless plug ;) )

Blessings to you all!...GENA
