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!
