the "new year, new you" fever that sweeps the nation has hit me in the form of home improvement impulses.  i spent the first week of 2013 swapping lamps, throw pillows and other accessories from one room to another (it's a free way to make things feel new!) and after all that, i just had to paint.
the painting project that i took on is sizable, and with three little kids at home, i usually only paint for an hour or two at a time, so it could be another week before i am done.
stay tuned...!
