Rennovating

I've been planning rennovations to my house ever since I moved into it over a year and a half ago, but I never actually got off my ass to start the process. Granted, I stayed fairly busy during that year and a half with other things, but life slowed down a lot when 2010 came. So one day I was being a slug on my couch, and I decided it was time to start the rennovating. I hoped that rennovating my house would be a start to rennovating my life too... to help me get back on the path.

I decided to start with the easy, pretty things: paint and floor. These things are "easy" in relative terms. I didn't think I'd have to learn a whole new skill set. Like plumbing or wall demolition!

I wanted to lay a pergo-type floor in my living room, so I went looking for laminate flooring deals. I managed to pick a floor out in about four days, definitely a record for me and decisions. It's called embassy mahogany, and it's pretty red. My wall colors are light moss green, honey pot, and spring waterfall, with mesa beige trim (Olympic paint colors). I considered the chakra theme while I was planning this, and I liked it. I did most of the painting in one weekend: dining room, living room, hallway, and bedroom. Most of the walls are green. It's my favorite color afterall.

My heart chakra broke open that weekend.

I hadn't even realized that it was closed, though I can see how I did it slowly in hindsight. I wasn't really surprised, considering that I planned the chakra theme, but I wasn't thinking about how much it would hurt. Some part of me must want to heal those bad boys, but another part is going kicking and screaming.
