Biggest Art Project Ever

Finding a new residence and a job are two of the hardest things on the to-do list before the big move, and also the ones that have to be put on hold. We have been hunting for a house- I'm just over apartments (and the neighbors that come with them). If someone has their house up for rent now, they aren't going to want to wait six months for the new renter to move in, so we have to wait until fall- and it is so frustrating. I've been keeping my eye on zillow.com- I've got the app on my phone so every day I can pull up a whole list of rentals in the area- I see what is in our price range, what is included, where, etc...and our only chance of getting a house for the price we want a month is going to be by a stroke of luck. The RIGHT house, at exactly the right time, otherwise- we are going to have to settle for an apartment again and it's going to be another long year until we can get out of it! So today, I'm asking my lovely blog followers to send me some luck to find the perfect bungalow for my lover and I.

We have been able to decide how we are going to decorate...by not deciding on anything at all right now! We are going to go room by room every month and really spend time picking out special designs and decor for each one. We have lots of stuff from here (signage from fashion shows, pictures, paintings from friends, more pictures, flyers from events, ticket stubs...) that we are going to be incorporating into our new place, and want to mix it with special things from our new home as well. So we'll take the time to visit different shops as we start our exploration&education of our new city, adding things from boutiques, local artists and musicians, pictures we take there, pictures we take here. Never really going out in SEARCH of decor, but just in search of our new city and the people and culture in it. It will be like a REALLY big art project for me, and some fun time working together with my favorite partner- JShows :) We already have some local Indy art for our first room- including a fabulous hand painted card that my friend and sorority sister Susie had her grandmother do for my birthday. It's beautiful and was so thoughtful of her! I look forward to taking things from here, plastering them all over my new residence, and eventually showing them off to the new friends and acquaintences we make when we move.
