The Post In Which I Compare Seasonal Decor to Mullets

So, it is September 1. I’d say that is as good a day as any to start talking about the change of seasons! Am I right or am I right? Let the fall madness begin! This was a post I shared last summer. I just ran across it again and it made me giggle.

So because my computer is dying and exhibiting the black screen of death, and I’m still trying to get my son his back to school supplies, I’m going to let you relive one of my finer blog posts. The one in which I talk about the seasons as compared to mullets. Ha! What was I thinking? Sheesh. Wow, yes, sometimes I’m a little crazy loopy.

Some people are summer house people. Some are fall or winter house people. Others of us are a mixture and like our homes to flow effortlessly from season to season. And sometimes, we prefer a particular season but our homes seems better suited to another.

It is interesting with me at my own home these days, I am still trying to find that balance of everything I love. I am enjoying the fun of lightening things up somewhat since moving from my English Tudor, but I am still trying to keep elements of “coziness.”

I don’t want a summer house but I am not wanting a fall or winter house either. I want an “all season house.”Is that too much to ask? I want it cozy in the winter, airy in the summer time. That last sentence made me think about that saying about mullets, “Business in the front, party in the back.” Not sure how that correlation popped into my head, but it is late as I am writing this and sometimes I get a little loopy when I write late at night.

Really there is no correlation to mullets, because I want rooms in my house to flow effortlessly from summer to fall, and mullets are kind of abrupt from one level to the next. Wow, I really shouldn’t write at night any more. I must need some sleep cause this is getting way off course.
