Still closing summer, and an interior decorator.

This week is Taylor’s birthday. And one of the big gifts she got was an interior decorator(thanks Deb!).

Why is this so important?

We have been working through some to-dos in our house. Things that we want to do because when we moved into the house:

We were house poor.
We were about to have a baby.
There was a pandemic, and no one was coming over.

Fast forward 2 years, and now we are ready to have people over. Also, we have been locked down and looking at our house and creating a wish list. My list included re finishing the deck, a tv for the garage/studio outside, pressure washing everything, laying a gas line for the grill, etc. One of the big things for Taylor’s list was to buy a couch. As a male, there were many things I didn’t understand, but have since come to my attention: one does not simply “buy a couch”. One must consider the past, present, and essence of the couch. The color schemes (what?) the purpose of the room (huh?) what it will match wish (wtf?). And it can “feel so overwhelming” (just go buy a couch!). So, Deborah (my MIL) gifted Taylor some time with an interior decorator, and some of our “couch” budget was expanded to include….a lot more than a couch. Whatever it is, Taylor is SO happy, and the couch that we DID settle with, it is a dream. It is SO comfortable, and very easy to fall asleep on.
