Dilemmas

The grass is growing, duh, it's springtime! We have had 3 dry days since February 11, that's right, 3. Our mower battery ran out of juice. Our grass is growing like crazy and we look like that horrible family on the block that hasn't mowed. I sure hope that it is actually dry this weekend like the weatherman says it is supposed to be!

We have a canopy bed in our guest room and an oak and brass bed in the garage that is smaller. I am thinking about replacing the canopy bed with the brass and oak one because we only have 8 foot ceilings  and the canopy bed makes the room look really small, even though I love it. I haven't done the switch yet because I feel like oak and brass is a little geezerly and not really my style but the bed would definitely add dimension to the room. What do you think? 

No, that is not my actual bedding. 

We have some high quality Montana built oak furniture and I am not in love with the oak look, but again, they are super high quality and really nice. Do I just leave them the way they are and just deal with it or do I, gasp, paint them?

And because I want to be able to remember current events, I just wanted to say, my heart goes out to all of the people of Japan who have endured the Earthquake and following Tsunami that killed thousands and destroyed many cities.
