so in my perusing on the internets i found this awesome site retro renovation.
this site is dedicated to everything retro, but primarily mid-century modern. i like the mid century look and design, but my tastes are definately more 70's retro but i LOVE this site!!
and today i was proven right in my love of the site. she had a story on someone who re-did her AVOCADO GREEN KITCHEN!
i am SOOOO coveting this kitchen! someday, someday! i hope...

house porn

so i'm addicted to house porn. well before we ever started looking for a house i was watching house hunters and hgtv. i would also frequent assorted online real estate sites. when were where looking at houses i would go online and look to see if anything new had been listed multiple times a day. i would also look at the million dollar homes and even homes that were just out of our price range. on occasion i would be chatting with a friend from college on facebook (hi colleen) and i would send her the links to the million dollar homes. she told me i was sending her house porn. now i know i'm not the only one out there who is addicted to house porn. don't all speak up at once... so anyway, last week my husband and i were having a discussion about a set he had worked on.

so this is something i definitely won't and don't miss!! this is something that wasn't even on my original list!  but thanks to facebook and it's on today this is what you posted i was reminded of this this morning: definitely not going to miss being the bitch... i mean i am a bitch, don't get me wrong. but having to be the bitch is something entirely different. in the college years i had what my friends referred to as "the voice". basically the voice says i'm pissed off and you better not fuck with me. as a manager you have to have a certain amount of the the voice. but you can't have too much voice bc employees are delicate little beings. it is such a double standard and i'm so glad i'm not a manager any more. you have to hold your staff accountable and coach in the moment. but if you say too much they complain to your manager. ahhhh !! i'm getting so pissed just thinking about it right now. so you hire someone to do a jo...
