Another One done, Another Wild Dream

The Office






Finishing another room feels great. Well, mostly complete, I have a wild dream of a white desk chair in this room, similar to the one in this picture. That chair is what inspired this whole room. Maybe I'm crazy, but don't you think a white office chair would be the perfect finishing touch? However, sadly the white chair will stay in my wild dreams... unless something were to happen to the perfectly fine working black chair.


Until then, if that ever happens, my dream looks a little like this.....








Why do office chairs survive everything? Nothing else seems to last...

The Little Things That Make Life So Big.

The Little things in Life? The little moments? They aren't little.


If we sat down to think about the precious little things in life_those that make our lives more vibrant, connected and inspired_we would find genuine, heartfelt moments that shape out lives and make us who we are, Little things like a job well done, someone being there for you, and honest compliment, taking time to play, and being a good person. The little things really are the cornerstone of a full life.


We can't take the little things for granted. They have built companies, friendships, and just about everything of value. No act of generosity, kindness or service is ever wasted, no matter how small. Everything matters. Everything we do helps or hurts, adds up or takes away. we need to count on each other for the little things that make life so big. In the end, it is not the days or the years that we remember, but the moments.


That was from a quote book I just purchased a few weeks ago called the little things. I am not one to want or collect quote books, but I really liked what this one says. I'm just grateful for all my little moments and the things people do for me.

I love my Poppies!

Spring and summer bring flowers. Since this is our first year in our new home, it is fun to see what will bloom. We have been discovering all sorts of flower surprises. I was very excited to see these beautiful Poppies.





Realiztion

I took a quick trip to Green Bay last week. I had such a great time. Kids can sure help you realize some habits you have. I realized I put my hands on my hips A LOT. My nephew did a great jod mimicking me. I tried to catch him on camera. He was super cute and and was being funny when doing it.

Can you even believe what this room was before?

Man cave? With a womens's touch...


= Family Room



Well, this room is on it's way to being a living room. A few more finishing touches, and we'll be there.
Also, Thank you Everyone for the donated pieces. It really helped for this room to come together. We only had the art work and the brown chair. I think this room would have looked quite different otherwise.
