Home Decorating

Hello�Michaela here�. Nice to meet you�.

George said that I could say a few words�.FINALLY!!!

I suppose the purpose of my pages is to tell you what I learned about home decorating while in our �build your own home� project.

You see from a woman�s point of view, home decorating is what makes a home. Now, I know that my husband�s focus was to build us a really strong house, and that was REALLY important, BUT� home decorating is the icing on the cake�and the thing that really makes a house a home�a haven that is warm and inviting�.

So, after much toil, and money stretching�I found ways to make our house look outstanding on a budget�and believe me�. THERE IS A BIG BAD BUDGET when your build your own home. You just can�t throw caution to the wind and spend�spend�spend�at least we couldn�t. But this was my dream home�and I wanted it perfect! I had to look for ways to save money and still get the look I wanted, and everybody that comes to our house says that I succeeded! I guess I am pretty proud of the fact that we went ahead and decided to build our own home AND handle our own home decorating. And, I guess you know by now that George and I like to save money and do things ourselves! You can too!

George is a great guy�. but when we met, he was eating off of paper plates and couldn�t care a flip about having real dishes in the cabinet, or curtains on the windows. He had ONE coffee mug and the way he figured it�that was plenty good enough! If there was something to eat�ANYTHING�he was happy. Days old, cold pizza�dried out beans�still in the pot�. uncovered in the fridge�well, you get the picture! He had never really nested before�but he sure has taken a shine to it! And this house is the finest nest that we have ever had, and we built it ourselves! How cool is that?

But�like most women�. it was up to me to feather our nest with home decorating.

To make this easy, I have broken down what I came to know into simple categories. Look below for the links to all of my home decorating pages.
