The Home Edit- Bliss Edition
““Have I gone mad? I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the BEST people are.””
That quote has always been one of my favorites and today it just seems the most fitting as I am fairly sure I literally have gone mad. But since only the best people are…I think I’m good then, right?
Why am I mad? I binge watched The Home Edit on Netflix and went “temporarily” crazy (well that could be up for debate but let’s not go there). I bought the 2nd edition of their book (Didn’t even realize there was a first? But I am on the wait list for it at the library…you know 30+ deep on that wait list…I’ll likely buy it as I am not really THAT patient). My hubby really does think I have gone mad. I have organized almost everything in the house. (Just a little left to go).
An entire SUV cram packed full of donation items, a kitchen that my hubby says is like playing a game of Mystery Date as no one has a clue where I put anything (including me…but shhh), and drawers, cupboards, books ALL beautified. I even played the rainbow game with books in our home library, games in the game cabinet and of course my closet. I even got BOTH my kids (not even kidding) helping me with the destruction…ahem…Beautifying.
Here is a sneak peek of all the hard work.
I think I have hit an official state of boredom. I mean is there such thing as TOO much time at home? Here we are 10+ months deep in this COVID mess and we are still home. I shouldn’t complain. I know…we are home, safe, healthy, still have jobs….etc. BUT…there are days that wear on you regardless. It just is what it is.
I read somewhere that someone was in a “January Slump”. I understood exactly where they are coming from and honestly even pre-covid I think January had its toll on me. The weather typically sucks, you are still recovering from the chaos holiday months, it’s my slowest shooting month of the year and I am so ready for spring time. Add covid in the mix and the slump is a little deeper than normal.
So while I am admitting January may not have been my favorite month I am pushing forward into Feb. This month I am doing my best to focus on the things I can control even if that makes me “temporarily” crazy. At least my house will be pretty right?
If any of you have played the Home Edit game I would love to hear about it? Or if you are now intrigued, best wishes to you. I think it would have been easier to beg Joanna and Clea to come SAVE ME. But hey….We can’t all be that lucky.
