This weekend Ryan and I had a table at the community rummage sale. It was, unfortunately, rather a bust. But it did force us to declutter, get stuff out of the house (and dropped off at Goodwill), and got us started in some spring cleaning.
I have some projects that have been brewing since we moved in October. It’s been a little too cold to have the windows open or to do the work outside, so the smellier projects have been on hold. Now that we’ve cleared some stuff out and are enjoying sunshine in our windows, I’m itching to get started. I’m tired of the dark dark dark look we’ve had going and am ready to change some things out for spring.
Actually, if our house could look just like this one from House Beautiful last month, I’d be a happy girl. Soft colors, natural linens, mingling woods in their au natural beauty. Sign me up.

Love the bright wood and the rustic yet comfortable “cabin in the woods” vibe!
I think you just discovered my dream home…amazing!!
By smellier projects, do you mean painting? Are you working on the whole house or a room at a time?

“Smellier” does mean painting and paint-related projects, but not walls! We painted the dining room, bedroom, and office when we moved in and that was enough for us for a while. But we do have some other projects that involve paint (hint hint) in the hopper. Some haven’t been discovered/purchased yet either!
Ooh, love the muted colors & that huge map!
Love the new name! It rolls of the tongue. I’ll be sure to update everything
Your new name is very cute… I love also the new design

This home is really amazing – so nice colors. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day.
