Happy Sunday! I love Sundays. A lovely morning at Happy Sunday! I love Sundays. A lovely morning at church followed by lunch with my family (I’m just waiting for them to get out of church now so we can EAT!! 😃 We don’t go to the same church. My church only has one service at 10:00, and theirs has two services at 9:00 and 11:00, so either I’m stuck waiting for them, or they’re stuck waiting for me each week.) And all of that followed by a low key afternoon with Matt with maybe a little bit of 😴😴 mixed in there somewhere. None of that has anything to do with my pantry, but I just love being able to see this view from my kitchen now that I’ve taken the French doors off. I do love French doors and the character they add, but I love seeing my colorful pantry more. And because the detail of my DIY alcohol ink and resin tiles never shows up in pictures taken at a distance, I’ve included a closeup so that you can see them in all their colorful glory. 😃 Hope y’all have a wonderfully blessed Sunday afternoon. #pantry #pantrydesign #walkinpantry #openshelves #openshelving #pantryideas #alcoholink #resinart
If I could choose one room in my house that really If I could choose one room in my house that really captures “me”, my style, and my love of color and patterns, it would be the music room. 🎼 🎵 🎶 The settee is what pushed it over the line from “nice” to my absolute favorite. I still can’t believe I found such a perfect settee for this room! #musicroom #musicroomdecor #colorful #colorfulart #colorfulhome #colorfulartwork #colormadetheroom #diyart #diyartwork #builtins #builtinshelves
One of my goals in the next few weeks is to go thr One of my goals in the next few weeks is to go through all of the pictures that I took of this house the day we were handed the keys, and take current pics showing those exact angles today. I took this pic of the kitchen/sitting room/pantry this morning, and then went back in my photo files to find a matching “before” picture. Then I realized a “before” photo of this angle would have been impossible. I stood in the living room to take this picture looking through the cased opening into the kitchen. That cased opening didn’t exist when we bought the house. I cut that opening myself (into a load-bearing wall, thankyouverymuch 😃), and there was originally a wall of kitchen cabinets just on the other side of that load-bearing wall. It seems like that opening should have always been there, so sometimes I forget that it hasn’t been. I tried to find the closest “before” angle to match up. It’s not perfect, but it’s close. And yes, I got rid of that window. It wasn’t an exterior window. It looked into the “sunroom”, a.k.a., my current huge storage room. #kitchendesign #kitchenremodel #kitchen #kitchencabinets
Does anyone else miss the days when Instagram was Does anyone else miss the days when Instagram was mostly still photos with some longer videos sprinkled in? I sure do. 95% of the accounts I follow are interior design, interior decorating, and DIY accounts. I love to see still pictures so I can really study every aspect of the room. Now sometimes I get on Instagram and 99% of my feed is nothing but reels. And it’s like that because Instagram prioritizes reels, so people are going to do what they need to do to be seen. But we already have TikTok for short videos. Instagram had its niche. Why did they feel the need to abandon their niche and turn into another TikTok? 🧐 Now I go back and look at some of the accounts that used to be my favorites, and they don’t even post pictures anymore. Now it’s just nothing but reels. And don’t get me wrong. I’ll make some reels if that’s what Instagram wants. 😃 But I just miss the old Instagram. Am I the only one?
Y’all, I had such a hard time getting out of bed Y’all, I had such a hard time getting out of bed this morning!! 🛌 I’m not really a morning person. I like to stay up late and sleep a little late (we’ll, 7:30am, if that’s late). But I’m trying to get on a better sleep schedule, earlier to bed and earlier to rise. But it was sooooo hard this morning because it’s cold and I was so comfy under my down comforter. And I’m used to waking up WITH the sun, not before. 😃 Any other night owls trying to work on better sleep habits this year? #livingroom #livingroomdecor #livingroomideas #livingroominspo
Well, we’ve made it through the first week of 20 Well, we’ve made it through the first week of 2022. How did you do? Did you stick to your New Year’s resolutions? I did pretty well. I didn’t really do resolutions this year, but I have three things I want to focus on. (1) I’m determined to make it through the January carnivore challenge. So far, so good, except for some sautéed veggies I ate at my mom’s house on Wednesday—no big deal. (2) I want to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. I had gotten in the habit of going to bed about 1:00am and waking up at 7:30am. Now, I’m in bed at 10:00pm and up at 6:00am. That’s going well so far. And (3) I want to spend a whole lot less time seeing this view (*ahem*…sitting my lazy butt in front of the TV 😂) than I did the last two weeks of December. So far, so good on that, too! How about you? #gallerywall #pictureledge #gallerywalldecor #gallerywallinspo #tvwalldesign
