Fog
This is what I woke up to yesterday morning…
Times like this make me not mind the long drive to town.
Outdoors
I am loving these outdoor spaces…
House & Home
Have a great week!
Shopping
Yesterday my mom and I took a little trip down to Dallas and had a great time. We finally made it to the newest location of Wisteria. I am so in love with that store. I found this fantastic piece for our house there…
After hitting some other stores we treated ourselves to the new…
So good!
And them I came home and ordered these pillows for our living room from Etsy…
I have to say, it was so nice to be in the city shopping but, after hours of driving and traffic it was good to be home.
It was a good day.
Adjusting
I absolutely, positively love our new neighborhood. It is peaceful, beautiful, friendly, and inspiring but, am I ever going to adjust to driving thirty-five minutes to Target? An hour to World Market, Nordstrom, and a decent restaurant? I am definitely missing the convenience of city life. Where do I find a good hair stylist, dentist, doctor, chiropractor, masseuse? I am living in a community of about two thousand people with the closest city about twenty minutes away and its population is about 15,000. Wal-Mart is where you do all of your shopping. I am not a huge Wal-Mart fan so this is different for me (As I type this a beautiful flock of Canada Geese are landing on the golf course on the other side of the lake behind our house). Okay so maybe I need to give this country living a little more time. I love hearing the horses, donkeys, coyotes, cows, and roosters in the morning. They make me happy but sometimes I feel a little isolated. Maybe I just need to make sure I get down to the big city once and awhile. Do you live in a big city?
Or far out in the country?
Do you like where you live?

Sneak Peek
The house is not ready to show you yet but, I thought I’d share a few items I am loving here and there (notice how I avoided showing most of the countertops which are now covered with items I don’t have room for and must sell out our yard sale this weekend)…
Master Bathroom
Loving our new Cowhide
Bertazzoni Gas Range
Black Doors
The true star of our home is our view but, our yard is brown right now so I am not about to show you pictures until we green it up a little. Oh yeah, and look at the wildlife we have around here digging in our trash…
I hope you all are having a great week!
J.R. Watkins and a Handy 8 Year-Old
I just found J.R. Watkins natural cleaning products at Target the other day on sale. The All Purpose Cleaner, hand wash and dish soap have a lemon scent that not only works great but, smells great too. It is ammonia free, animal testing free, bleach free, phosphate free etc. I am enjoying this line so much I had to share with you. It is good stuff!
On another subject we are in the new house and have a ton of work to do to make it our own. All of our “stuff” from storage arrives in two days and I am not sure where it is all going to go. I had to share this photo of my daughter installing hardware in the kitchen. Don’t worry, we didn’t break any child labor laws.
We’re Moving!
Wish us luck. We are moving into the new digs on Friday. The exterior of the house won’t be painted yet but, the inside should be finished. We are so ready! I will take some pictures tomorrow.
