{via this is glamorous}

Yes, folks, I’ve gone and done it again. First there was this. Then I got this duvet cover for Christmas. I like it very much, especially paired with this coverlet. I would really like some patterned shams, a patterned bedskirt, or something of the like to go with, but I can’t seem to find something that I like and that meshes well and at the same time modernizes the Colonial-esque nature of the duvet. And then I go and start thinking that rich neutrals (see above) are the way to go. But, of course, once they’re in my space, I tend to find them boring. One day I want squashy and comfortable, the next I want crisp and tailored. Today I want pops of color, and tomorrow I’ll want a palette of neutrals.

Anyone else plagued by constant interior decorating indecision?

Besides finishing off my 101 in 1001 goals, I think this will be one of my mottos for the new year:

As many of you know, I’m entering the third and final year of my 101 in 1001 challenge. It ends on September 28, 2010.

I’ll tell you how many goals I’ve completed, how many goals are in progress, and which goals I’m going to be focusing on for the month.
