I love watching house shows on HGTV and TLC. I have a limited budget with three children. There are so many things I would like to do to my home to make it cozy. Stuart and I like outdoor living spaces. We put in a small, side patio with a chiminea and two chairs. So we could sit outside and listen to music after the kids were in bed. We also have a front porch, covered back porch, and a deck. I would love to have an outdoor stone fireplace, T.V., and grilling area. What I would really like is a swimming pool. Watching those home shows can be bad and good depending on how your finances look. Yesterday, I went to T.J. Maxx, Ross, Hobby Lobby, and Pier 1. I found the curtains I have been looking for which are 96 inches long. I think curtains should touch the ground and not the woodwork. The lady that sold me the curtains said that Peir 1 was not going to sale 96 inch curtains anymore so you better buy now. I found lots of cool stuff at Ross too. I bought two big wooden candle holders made in India for $14.oo and a long basket for magizines.
