You're doing great! How long do you want to keep going?

I don't know. I have a charm in my cart at etsy. I guess that doesn't count since it isn't a bag. I just feel it is kind of like dieting, once you cheat, it is easier to keep cheating.

I am feeling more overwhelmed by my clothes than my bags. I probably need to stop buying clothes for a few years but I know that won't happen. I shop when we travel. Sometimes there isn't anything else to do. I've bought two articles of clothing this year and I love them both - a down coat and a down robe. I love cozy clothes! It's the sweaters, tees, jeans, and loungewear that is most out of control.

This looks great, we!!! Are you happy? Is it how you wanted it to be? I love all that counter space!

Thanks! I'm mostly happy. There is always the doubt that I should have picked something else for a few things. It has been stressful.

We didn't change much of the layout. I was lucky to already have a large kitchen. It was just really old, falling apart. The appliances didn't work well and the cabinets were falling apart. There were broken tiles on the floor. I love the new floor the most. DH complains that the floor shows dirt more than our white tile did, but I think he forgets how the grout lines started turning black. Then he complains that you can't see dirt on the granite counters!

I picked a different flooring for the entryway, and while I like it, I don't think it goes with the carpet that is right next to it. My mistake was my first choice for the entry wasn't available so I picked something out in the store without taking a sample home to see how it would look in our house. DH didn't want to have to make another trip back to the store so I felt pressured.

It's so cute.
If I had this bag, I would want to wear it all year long, no matter how hot it is.
Would it look ridiculous to wear it during the hottest months?:sad:

Thanks :). I supposed I can wear it all year, you think? The only downside is if I am wearing shorts on a very hot day, the shearling against my thigh might make me a little sweaty :lol:. I have to say that it was your cute shearling bag that inspired me to look for one. I went to the store to look at yours and seriously considered getting it. But it sold out when I finally decided to get it a few weeks later.

I hear ya! right now I am overwhelmed by clothes too. I am back to purging and reorganizing my closet. I am having a hard time letting go of clothes, but I need to because I just simply have too much and not enough space to fit it all. I guess I need to become more drastic with my cuts. :lol: Also, with a better organized closet, I can reach ALL my bags. :blush:

Glad to hear you're mostly happy. I hope your DH feels better about those parts he complains about as time goes by, So sorry about the entryway tile. It's so hard to pick out stuff in a hurry while feeling pressured. I've done for the same reasons as you, and have not been happy with the results either. Is there anything you can change to make it all go better? Or will you just "live with it?"

Yay to purging! I just purged a bag full of clothes. Some still NWT! :shocked: I gave up on ever being able to get back to the body I had 10 years ago. I'll get more bags. They always fit. :nuts:

I'll live with it. Maybe it will grow on me. Maybe it will look better once we get the carpet and furniture back in the entry. The baseboards aren't even in yet. Some day, we'll probably change out the carpeting in the rest of the house but I have no idea what color family I should go with. The entry has so much more gray in it than I realized. The current carpet is a warm beige. It goes well with all our furniture. If I change the carpet to a cooler tone to go better with the entry, it probably won't go with the furniture. Maybe we will change the entry the same time we change out the carpet. Maybe that will never happen since we are tired of having workmen in our house and the stress of it all.

I'm sad that my body isn't even as good as it was last year! I don't know what I like more - eating or looking good in my clothes.
