Sometimes, you just have to wait.

I'm still wanting to make improvements to the home but sometimes circumstances arise that prevent home improvement progress.  In my case, its indirect involvement with the April 2011 tornadoes.  A good friend lost her home and I'm organizing a baby shower for her as she's due in July with her second child.  My living room floor has been taken over by donations in the corner where eventually we will have a corner console for D's massive TV.  So with this and an upcoming beach trip, I'll be MIA indefinitely.  I'll keep up to date with WUSLU's daily deals and of course link any fabulous designs I see elsewhere but as far as actual posting, I've got my hands full for the next month.  I have the time, just not the brain power.  I'm so distracted by what I've got going on around here that this blog has sadly taken a back seat.  So I'll leave you with this.  A little clutter can be a good thing.  It show's a lived in home.  Not a photogenic house.  Happy Decorating!

Home is where the Heart is

It's really not about what style of furniture you have or about what adorns your walls.  Its not about the angle of the rug, or the shape of the room.  It's about the spirit that fills that space that really makes it home.  So many are now either dead or "homeless."  There are so many ways to donate.  Find a collection point in your area.  Find a website like Red Cross to donate money to.  Personal friends have lost their home....but not their hope.  It's by grace they feel the love around them.  So when you feel puzzled by a decor problem, be thankful you have the walls, floors, and roof standing to provide that problem.
