A Christmas Prayer...

For the blessings you have bestowed upon us.....for all the days we have had together......and all the days to come,

for the joys and sorrows that bind us ever closer....for the trials we have overcome...and for teaching us we can do no great things....

only small things with great love......we thank you.

Wishing each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas!! x0x0

Metal box...

This metal box caught my eye....

and I knew in an instant....

I wanted to take it home with me....

wasn't sure where I would put it.....

but I do know if you love the look of something......

you will always find a home for it.....

and I did...in no time flat!! Have I ever told you how much I love that you come by and how much your comments mean to me.....just wanted to remind you all of that!!! Happy December 14th my sweet blogging friends! x0x0

Nordic French / Industrial Chic.....

My mind is whirling......I go to bed thinking about my kitchen....

I wake up thinking about it.....

I have a vision in my head....

of what it will look like, but I am not sure....

just how much I can mix the two styles I love together.....

how much INDUSTRIAL CHIC can you mix with NORDIC FRENCH PRETTY?????

and have it all look like it belongs.....

Guess I will soon find out.....kitchen reno has begun....it will be quite a while before its done.......

but thats o.k......cause like I said..... my mind is whirling!!!!! Have a lovely,relaxing Sunday my sweet friends.... xoxo

When you run out of rooms.....

What's a girl to do........

when she runs out of rooms to decorate for Christmas.....

she decides that even her tiny little bathroom

deserves a little attention.....

over the holidays.....

and she realizes how much she loves her tiny,old house....

cause its filled with love and laughter.......x0x0

A gentle reminder...

Just a gentle reminder.....

that Christmas is fast approaching.....

are you ready......

are we ever? xoxo

One last vignette....

I wasn't going to do it....

I said I would not do anymore to my kitchen.....

till after the reno was done....

but I took a ten minute break from my housework....

and did one last kitchen vignette.....

Thanks so much for sharing in my excitement......your the best! x0x0

The waiting game.....

For so many years now.....

I have wanted a beautiful kitchen....

with white cabinets....open shelving....pale shades of grey.....beams on the ceiling...

somebody should really pinch me.....

cause after Christmas......my dream is going to come true...thanks to my wonderful husband...its going to be alot of work & my house will take quite a beating.....but I can hardly wait! Have an awesome day ladies!! xoxo
