Freshening up the old office with Behr's Burnished Clay
Hubby and I spent the weekend freshening up our old office. We've been in a season of decluttering. We continue to fill up boxes and drop them off at Goodwill. How can two people accumulate so much stuff? I haven't used this space as an office in years. It's more of a prayer and reading room for me. This is where you'll find me at 2am or 3am praying, thinking, writing. I moved my desk to my Master bedroom and placed it in front of a window with a beautiful view to our fountain and birds who enjoy it.
The new paint color for our front room is Burnished Clay by Behr.
My hubby. I think the hardest part about painting is all the prep work. Removing socket covers, wall art and hooks. Then patching up holes etc. It's always worth it in the end.
It feels light and bright now
The final look!
I love reading in here on a sunny day and praying in here in the evenings.

New Trellis
Thank you to my Dad and hubby who created this for me! :-)
I can't wait for spring to weave some climbing roses and vines! It will be a lot of fun to cluster some beautiful potted plants around the base as well.

Updated: Picture wall accent
I've changed the center accent wall art several times. I think I finally found something that sits well with me.

Christmas 2018 & 2019
Yikes! Christmas 2016 was the last Christmas I shared! Here is a flashback to Christmas 2018 and 2019. Sorry if the pictures seem a bit blurry and yellow. I copied them from my hubby's Facebook album and some quality was lost in the process.
Our Basset Hound, Winston
Our niece and nephew on my hubby's side. We enjoyed having them over for their 8th annual Christmas sleep over. We play games and do crafts. It's a fun time for everyone.

End of 2018 Update!
Flashback our first apartment!
Hey, Friends! It’s been a minute! We’ve made many updates to our home in the past year. We replaced the old electric panel, installed a new water heater, repaired the AC again, bought a new microwave, replaced garage door springs and I’m sure something else I’m forgetting. Fixing up an older home never ends but looking back on the journey and seeing how far we’ve come, makes it worth it. God has been faithful every step of the way.
I still haven’t replaced the fireplace tiles. I’m not sure what I want
to replace them with. The back and forth drains me and causes me to
procrastinate. It will happen eventually, I guess. It will be easier
once I know what tiles we are going to use in the rest of the house.
Until then, it will remain an eyesore.
We finally invested in new sofas. We were hesitant since we have three dogs. After researching different types of fabric we took the leap. When we were picking out our sofas we went more with function than style. We consider style, but figured it was our only living space, and comfort and practicality were more important. Plus the dogs! I didn't want to worry about them destroying it. Hubby really wanted power recliners with built in chargers and I loved the gray with cream stitching. We are happy and enjoying our space!
I bought a couple rustic window picture frames last year (you can see pictured above, behind the loveseat). They remained empty until last week when I finally decided to go with matching black and white pictures. Once my Brother’s baby, Harper, is born I’ll add a picture of her. It’ll be my parent’s first grandchild. I’m beyond excited for them!

Behr Peacock Tail VS Behr Antigua
Peacock Tail (looks navy blue in pictures)
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?
