i have been inspired my many of you to
show it "like it is" at our place!
someday...i hope to have a home filled
with images of charm and warmth to share,
but right now, for starters... i am sharing
our soon to be den, a landing spot for the
guys... (i can't grasp this whole man cave thing).
 |
the vintage (ha!) Ralph green wall is going...to be replaced
with pinewood planking...painted warm white...
and an electric fireplace, with a flat screen.
a shelf will be placed above
the doors... to run the length of the wall,
a new home for the decoys (boys). |
note our lovely remodel "staging table"
and mr D's collectibles placed in
safe spots as we pillage and paint!
the boys are temporarily
resting on a dividing wall. i grabbed a couple
candles to romance it up a little...( i can't believe that i am
showing this)...how about that
ugly diagonal mess above? pinewood planking
will placed and painted warm white!
~white...ahhhh...cottage~like... i can dream it
i can see it...(coffee sip) sigh!
here's looking up from the
room... more piles and patched walls
ready for brushstrokes!
the good news is that mr D is taking tomorrow
and Friday off...to paint. he has been working
overtime on the weekends recently (we are blessed)...
so his painting time has been minimal.
the goal: a softer place to land for
all of the boys...
~and~
here is the inspiration photo...
it's from Lori at the frugal farmhouse...
i saved it because it displays
an example of integrating nature ( in this case the fish
prints) ~ ( in our case the decoys and DU prints)
...in a softer setting...
i'll keep you posted on our progress!
here's to soft landings!

{with love}
