7 Random Things

I've been tagged by Jenny (Thanks, Jenny!) to post 7 random things about myself. Here goes:

1) I'm a Bargain shopper with a capital B! I get all giddy with excitement when I find something beautiful that doesn't break the bank. Know what I mean?

Here is a prime example:
I found this beauty at Michael's Craft store. It was inexpensive to begin with ($7 maybe), but I grabbed it up at 40% off! Can you believe it?

This sweet birdie, currently sits top on my list of favorite things.

2) I love old furniture. Especially, painted black. Most of my antique pieces I've painted and I've fallen in love with all over again. A few pieces I've yet to touch. (my antique tea table) But, I think it's only a matter of time.

3) I like black & white photos.

Some in my bedroom.


In my living room.



4) I {{think}} I may be afraid of color. (See above pictures) Only 4 rooms in my home are not a color of beige. Two of those rooms are the kids rooms. My home is monochromatic with touches of color here and there. I've told myself it's because it gives me the room to change out decor as often as I do. But, I know why. I'm afraid. Of color.

5) I talk in my sleep. It used to freak hubby out at first, but now he's used to it.

6) One of my favorite childhood memories is playing yahtzee with my grandmother outside on her porch in the warmth of a Florida evening. I remember feeling safe, happy and accepted.

7) I'm a pretty organized gal. Except, when it comes to the computer. I have files here, there and everywhere. My favorites page is probably 8 pages long, and I have folders within folders within folders, and I wonder why I can't find that file? It's on the verge of being ridiculous. But, honestly- who wants to spend precious pc time organizing, when there's blogs to read, boards and forums to visit, email to be checked, and photoshop to be played around with?

Okay, I'm tagging:
