I just want to know why do I come up with all kinds of absolutely fabulous and "do-able" remodeling ideas for my home, when we can't do a single one because of our budget? I find that very curious. Usually I am stuck with some kind of design brain freeze, but today.... in my mind I completely redid two upstairs bedrooms relocating walls, doors, and closets, and remodeled my entire kitchen. Now what is up with that???
Too bad we are on Baby Step 2 of the Dave Ramsey Plan and paying off all our debt(except the house). We'll be starting Baby Step 3 hopefully this summer. That step involves having an Emergency fund of 3-6 months salary saved should we lose a job or something. I know I will be thankful when all this is done, and we actually have a cushion to fall back on and our debt is gone. It's just hard now. I guess I'll just draw up the ideas and keep working on them. They'll be ready for us when we have the cash in hand. :-)

Our Cottage Roses
Welcome to our "Little White House"! The entrance is flanked by some cottage roses, which possess a simple beauty, that has stood the test of time. We hope that the inside of our house is remodeled with the same grace and charm as the outside. Join my husband and I, do-it-yourself remodeling junkies, as we renovate our "Little White House", room by room.

I can relate. I went to sleep last night thinking of kitchen colors and fabric prints to make roman shades for my bay window in the kitchen. No money, though...so only in my dreams! I should know by now not to look at The Nester's website.
We've been there and done that~paying off debt, stashing cash for an emergency fund, etc. AND it is very painful. We did it when I worked, so much of my paycheck I never saw. Painful and honestly, I hated it. But now, I am so glad we did. You can do it!!
