VS

Antigua (looks more teal/green in pictures)


New roof and painted ceilings

         After a major storm in our area our roof started leaking in several places around the house. Thankfully our insurance covered the damages. It's been a busy few months for us. We had our entire roof replaced, along with a few damaged window screens during the Holiday season. 
       On top of that, on New Years, while we were out, someone accidentally shot a bottle rocket through our front window! I'm thankful a fire didn't start! We quickly had the window replaced.
        Then this weekend we had our ceilings painted in four rooms along with our Living room accent wall. This required us to move the majority of our decor and furniture to the garage. I used this opportunity to choose a different color for my living room accent wall. 
         Though I loved the previous color, Peacock Tail by Behr, I have always wished it was more green than blue. I decided to have it repainted, Antigua by Behr.  The color is still deep and moody, but more teal. We are extremely happy with it! Pictures coming soon!

I'm so glad this is over!


  
I can't wait to post pics of our new wall color next to pics of our old color

Spoon Rest


I found the cutest spoon rests on Wayfair.com. I'm using one on our coffee bar and one by the stove. Pictures of our coffee bar coming soon!

Master of sky and land


“The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn’t live in custom-made shrines or need the human race to run errands for him, as if he couldn’t take care of himself. He makes the creatures; the creatures don’t make him. Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him. He doesn’t play hide-and-seek with us. He’s not remote; he’s near. We live and move in him, can’t get away from him! One of your poets said it well: ‘We’re the God-created.’ Well, if we are the God-created, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to think we could hire a sculptor to chisel a god out of stone for us, does it?
