Room to Create

I’m fighting the perfectionist side of me big time this morning in that I didn’t want to post the final photos of my room until it was complete. 

Until all the clutter was put away in proper places, on some bookcases_ 

cute framed prints hung on the wall_ a rug put down that would bring it all together…. I could go on and on but let’s face it, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get all of that. 

And for now, this is what I have and this is what it looks like… clutter and all. :)

The color is a PPG color called Serendipity and at first sight I really felt it was too bold/ dark. It's a pretty aqua color but I was originally thinking of something a little lighter…It wore on me though, and I wonder now why I even had an issue with it. I do the same thing with my hair. When I first see the new color I’m like ooooooooh, it’s pretty bold and then after a week I’m like it’s fine. 

Cray, cray…i tell ya!

Jode has been a painting little machine man. He painted 2 desks_ a frame_ the lamp_ dream sign_ 2 shelves_ and painting takes time, doesn’t it? I get a tad impatient and want it dry and ready to go but it doesn’t work that way. The weather plays a huge part in it as well as having the right equipment. I have to admit, I’m a little fearful of doing our kitchen. I just know how big of a job it’s going to be…. Worth it_ but just not anticipating it really well.

Did I tell you that I purchased this table with 3 chairs at the Salvation Army about 5 months ago for $45? At the time I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it. I just knew that I wanted it bc of it’s character. It has a leaf that extends it out too, but now I think I've found the perfect spot. The chairs I use over in our dining room.

I’m so thankful for this space to dream_ create_ and make a mess in.

Hope you have mucho fun this weekend, too. Whether you do something or nothing_ clean or mess things up_ happy weekend to ya!
