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.

Outside: My hubby's pride and joy. Every year he adds more to his yard display.
