Sometimes I wish I were in my Forever House.
I wish I'd found the house I wanted to keep forever and leave to my girls.
I'm not.
I'm in a house that I can hopefully build up enough equity in so when I sell it when property value is at an all time high, I can make a decent chunk of change and use that to make a big life and/or location change.
I hope I will be a published author when that time comes so I can work for me and live the dream and all that jazz.
When I try to envision that house, my Forever House, I can't just barely get a fuzzy picture in my head... I know, as much as I say otherwise, I want a big house... two stories, three or more bedrooms, lots of wood (says the environmentalist)... cabin-y, home-y... I HAVE to be near water, I know that... my soul needs water. Whether it is a lake or an ocean or a river, I need to have water near me.
And it would have to be filled with comfy furniture and walls of books.
*sigh*
In the meantime, while I am in my just for now house, I have to resist the urge to redo stuff. My floors were a neccesity. I CAN'T deal with carpet. And in the next year, all of my floors will be redone.
But other stuff? Like my cabinets? And painting? Not necessary and really just a waste of money. Plus, the biggest thing for me is not to put too much of myself in the house. Because it should be a neautral pallet for someone else when I sell it.
But if I could?
If I wanted to take all my cabinets out and replace them and redo the tiles and the backsplashes? I would so totally use recycled glass tiles.

I just think they are so pretty. And if I were making long term changes that reflected MY taste, I would so totally use recycled glass tiles...
Do you know about something bad ass and recycled? Shoot me an email. Link's on the right.
