I'm not sure if I caught the BLUES from Kylee after she had the baby, but I caught them non the less. We've been in the market for a new living room sofa. I had looked and looked for something that caught my eye but it just wasn't happening. I finally decided to bring several swatches of fabric home to see what might work that way. Well, there were a few BLUE swatches in the batch and for some reason I was always drawn to them. I decided to hit the streets again and this time look for something BLUE. I wasn't having much success but decided at the last minute to go to Macy's, 'just in case'. And what do you know, there it was, and on clearance too!
George went and picked up a couple days later. He called and said, "wow, it's really BLUE, are you sure about this?"I said I was, but inside I was thinking, 'oh no, what have I done?' Because it was on clearance, once it left the store, it was ours. Well he got it home, and once again I saw the vision. That night I made the red pillows and the next day I hurried to the city to round up some accessories to bring it together. I'm happy with the living room transformation. I've decided my BLUE couch is going to be a lot of fun. I can change the accent color easily, and as I was shopping I noticed a lot of different color choices out there, but for the time being it's RED.
On Saturday, Kandi, Diane and I went for a "girls day away." We had appointments for pedicures first thing. I sat in the chair totally planning on having my toes painted with your basic french style. But something got in to me and said, "I'll do BLUE." I'm still not too sure what I was thinking, but they won't last forever and then I'll go back to the basic. I guess I've just got the BLUES!
