When Your Heart Skips a Beat.....

We are in the middle of a complete redo of our downstairs.  We recently painted the entire bottom level and I was so torn between a light and airy space above or a moody grey like this:

We decided in the end to go the grey route.  I just love how it works with the natural wood.  The problem is now all our accessories need to be re-worked or replaced....ahhh, off to pinterest for ideas!

Hope you are having a great week...

Busy Day......not really

 

 

Despite my best attempt at being on task today, it seems that I didn't get nearly enough done.  I had a list (which I have begun to make each night) of what I wanted to accomplish.  I woke up early, did all my normal morning chores....kids, dogs, beds, laundry, etc. etc. etc. (tired already)

 

I had a few work details to finish up and then I was going to attempt to organize my home studio, but I kept getting distracted and the next thing I knew, it was time to get the kiddos and all the other stuff that goes along with my afternoon chores....kids, homework, dinner, wash uniforms and yucky sports stuff, etc. etc. etc.

So now, I think I will waste the remainder of my day staring at this beautiful chandelier and hoping that tomorrow I can be somewhat more productive.

 

Wishing you a wonderful evening...live well!

I've seen many, many of these gallery walls...but this might be my favorite.  I love the colors, the symmetry and the leopard couch is just right!

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!
