My Word!!! ( for 2013 )

Simple - Simply - ( as in Vintageous ) Simplify?
Anticipation?
Share?
Growth?
Inspired?
Dance?
Live?
Try?
Onward?
Enlightened?
Partake?
Remember?

all kinds of words kept leaping out at me, literally, and so finally the word I chose is
LEAP

because it's what I plan to do this year - not as in leaping from tall buildings in a single bound - but as in jumping in to every single thing I do - ( gracefully - think of a ballerina or a gazelle lol - although I'm probably more like a kangaroo )
I don't know if I'll reach great heights - but If I keep jumping or springing into action - something has to come out of it, right? Other than aches and pains from jumping all over the place?
And since this whole blogging journey started with one gigantic leap of faith, it seems fitting somehow

LEAP

[noun] a light springing movement upward or forward

It's a word I think I can look at everyday -

I had a plank of wood left over from the Christmas Pallet Trees we did - so put a quick coat of Annie Sloan Old White - and went to town with my stencils - these particular ones came from the dollar store - ( found them in my Christmas stocking this year !!! )

This one will sit in my bedroom for the year - and hopefully when I glance over it will inspire me to leap out of bed in the morning - instead of dragging myself from it .....................

Oh and because I'm a multi tasker, I thought my word should be too - so my word is a noun AND a verb

Verb

Jump or spring a long way, with great force

Look - Look - Up in the sky

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

Ugghhh no - It's Suzan from Simply Vintageous - it's ridiculous really but she chose the word leap as her inspiration this year.......................and she's been flying around in circles ever since.

Pretty annoying if you ask me

Be happy I didn't choose the word DIG

That's my word

And I'm sticking to it!

I WANNA live there # 20

I live in a pretty incredible area - It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons and tons of charm - and 20th century architecture, just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood ( in which I live in servants quarters basically compared to what I'm surrounded by )
Because there's days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one home that's for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )

I think this must be new on the market - haven't seen it before - it has 4 bedrooms - 3 baths - 1 half bath

love love love how spacious the entry way is

Living room -

Dining room - gorgeous original leaded glass windows - double french doors - i even love the original floor ( with a couple of coats of verathane on it definitely )

I'm thinking this is kind of a butlers pantry since it's off the kitchen,
Whatever
I would definitely be placing drinks on this baby for parties -
Or maybe have John stand there dressed like a butler

off the kitchen - enclosed porch - remember one of the houses we saw had converted this into a sit
down area off the kitchen? I think I'd copy that idea for this one too!

ok - let's go upstairs!

I'd have daybeds in here - and I'd lounge my life away just staring out at the city - with a ton of books laying on the floor.......................

does anyone else love radiators as much as I do?
and those windows?

basement
and
sauna

I absolutely love this one - really - would love to get my hands on it!

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! think I could see myself living in it very very easily lol - absolutely gorgeous - and worth every penny of the 1,795,000 price tag DAHLINKS.................
Profusion Immobilier
Did you go?
Have you caught your breath yet?
I'm afraid anything else I could find to show you today would be disappointing after that - so I'm going to leave you with that one on your mind.....................
