My Personal Interior Designer

Speaking of interior design, I have had the best interior decorator for the past 12 years. What's funny is that I didn't have to pay a thing to hire Him. His work is free, and His style is seriously the best! The weird part is that when we're working on a project together, He always suggests I change areas of my home that I wouldn't have thought to be a problem area, in fact, I like how I've arranged it. But because He's proven trust-worthy time and time again, and to be honest, never failed at His profession, I will finally give in, trust His judgement on the matter, and allow Him to work His magic. While I'm waiting for the finished project, sometimes I'm still worried and doubtful of how the room's going to turn out.... but then, "Wa - La!" He shows me into the space, and it's the most beautiful I've ever laid eyes on! I ask Him, "How did you know I loved that color for the walls, I didn't even tell you? And those curtains, they're perfect! Where did you find that framed art? It all compliments each other so well! Everything is better than I could have done myself.....  Thank you Jesus!" 

He designed me, and He designed you. Because of that , he knows your personality, and what you love, what you hate, and what will make you truly happy in this life.
 I've tried my way...... fail. I've tried other people's opinion.... fail.  Finally, I've tried what Jesus has for me......  peace of mind, body and soul.

"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man" Psalm 118:8

"The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him." Lamentations 3:24-25

He loves you more than anything. Give Jesus your heart  :)

Quick question, have you heard of:

?

If your answer is no, well then, you must check out this amazing online clothing store! I stumbled upon it a few months back, and I loved it so much I decided it needed some extra attention.

Like bohemian, hippie, and vintage style?

You will love it as do I!

These "Busy Bee Wedges" are rainbow fabulous! But alas, they no longer have them in my size.

Marigold love

Turqouise Dust ring - gorgeous-ness!

Vintage pin cushion and spools

Yellow country dress, reminds me of an old western attire for a classic ho-down!

All you need is the boots  :)

Last, but not least, the Rainbow dress/shirt. Bold, two shirts in one! What else could you ask for?

Please, go check out spool72.com, and enjoy!

Wash Room

After I'm finished with my closet, the laundry room is going to be next on my list - The pic below is not mine, but I thought it was funny! And ours is worse, way worse.

These laundry rooms inspire me, and the one above inspires me even more to keep on working hard at tackling my own "Yikes" about the home!

Adorable wall paper! I love how this room hardly looks like a laundry work space, so decorative

Decals on washing machine are a must :)

Love the pleated skirt under the sink too

I love rolled towels, they look so neat and tidy

This is a huge area, so wish I had the square feet

Such a great mud room, love how big and bright it is

You can't ever go wrong with yellow, always a fave of mine

My laundry room is a walk through space from the garage and very small. So I've got to keep the wall colors bright, and store items from floor to ceiling if possible. Make use of the walls so that we have a clear place to walk. Not an ideal set up, but so thankful that I now have my own, instead of sharing a basement laundry in a duplex  :)

My Bedroom Closet

A bedroom closet isn't normally a room in the house that you decorate. It's the place that no visitor sees, so why in the world would you bother making it look presentable? Let alone pretty. 

Last week, I was standing inside my closet, and realized, "I hate this room". Because of my procrastination and laziness, I allowed it to become hideous....  I'm sure there's no one else out there that hates their closet? ................right  ;)

Here's what it looked like for the past 10 months.

                                                                        BEFORE

A mix of boxes overflowing with clothes and shoes; and on one end, random decorations that didn't have a home yet.... 

That mess got old, so last week I removed everything, purged a ton of items for our up-coming garage sale, and returned the kept items to the closet. 

AFTER

After seeing the results of a little effort, I'm excited to do more! 

 Instead of being in a shoe box on the bathroom counter, the jewelry received a pretty home on display

At the moment, I'm contemplating a paint color for the walls. Yes, even in a closet. I mean, why not enjoy every space in your home?!

Can't wait to make the finishing touches this week!
