Weekend Warriors

Yesterday was a fun day - I spent it with my sister traipsing around the county doing the Parade of Homes tour.

We both love looking at new homes and interior design, so it was a blast for us to check out all the model homes.

A few of them were cute little bungalows that folks like us could feel comfortable in, but for the most part, they were HUGE multi-million dollar monstrosities that could house 3 families (or a small town!)

I didn't know there were folks around here who lived in places like that - but there must be. (They were all pre-sold.)

From what we saw, the Arts & Crafts style home has made a big comeback, along with bead board wood and tile floors, and almost every home had at least one room done in blues and browns. You would think that show homes would strive to be more different, but there seemed to be a lot of repetition...

Regardless, it was fun to explore and see just how the "other half" lives. (Since we'll never have occasion to set foot in places like that again! LOL)

Hubby was afraid I'd come home completely dissatisfied with our little hovel, but I'm no dummy - just glad to have a roof over my head in these perilous times.

...I did, however, pick up a few ideas to update and make our home a bit more livable. (Purely cosmetic.)

But that's a topic for another day...

Been trying to spoil hubby a bit for Fathers' Day. He had to work this morning, and he was bummed about that - but the rest of the day has been nice.

I had to miss my girlie's ballet last night. They did Sleeping Beauty - can't wait to see the video when they get it!
