My laundry is piling up and until today I didn’t know it had a name. Tara coined a new phrase for my home decor. Gotta love this girl yes? Laundry vignettes! Ha! Sheets? are you kidding? They aren’t getting changed I’m sure until February. Unfinished projects everywhere. My living room has the normal couch and chair but now also has 2 barstools, a coffeetable and end tables and cans of paint and wax and dropcloths….need I say more?
And I only dream of my Pinterest clothes closet these days. This is what you will find me in if you knocked on my door at any given time this week. I took the kids out to dinner last night and I did change into running pants…only they aren’t dong much running these days.
I tried combing my hair this morning and found paint in it! Oh goodness! Ponytail, paint clothes, paint shoes slippers…pretty sexy huh?;)
but you know what? I am intentionally taking each day as it comes..When dreams are being worked out I can’t expect an easy road. Now is the time for planning and hard work. The harvest will come. I am learning to wait on Him. His timing. To stop forcing things and just using all of my senses within each day. Remember those kitchen cabinets that are so SO gross? They will wait.
Until then I’m living in a beautiful mess of gifts, grace and tears of joy…literally! Now off I go to put on some deodarant.
oh before I forget..guess what? this weekend I have my first media party! Not “my” media party - Restoration Emporium’s media party. Our little House of Belonging will reside inside of Restoration Emporium. gotta be clear about that! I have no clue what a media party is but it sounds SO grown up. I’ve been a domestic engineer for the last..well since I was 16 – so this is way out of my comfort zone. BUT at the same time – I am excited. I might actually get to wear something besides paint clothes. I will be sure to share pictures next week. I want each of you experience all of this with me.
have a beautiful beautiful evening friends…I will leave you with Grace’s chalkboard door art.

You s
ound like me. I have paint in my hair frequently. Love the chalkboard door.
"We found love in a hopeless place." This brought tears to my eyes and Godbumps to my body. I don't have anymore words than those. Thank you so much for sharing the paint in your hair and the pants that don't jog because they are too busy living intentionally in the gifts and joy that God gives.
I like the idea of taking
one day at a time…..I
tend to think too far out.
Loving the here and now
is something that I have
to be conscious about : )
You'll knock 'em dead at
your media event, I know!

Wow, you and I are living in the same mess and wearing the same clothes except I have short sleeves since I sweat when I paint.
lol…we have the same work uniform i see. my husband has been threatening to throw out my favorite paint shirt….but, i have countered with certain death to his fav ratty slippers, if i find my shirt m.i.a. taking one day at a time is the best way to go…we are never promised tomorrow…..carry on dear girl…..
love it…
laundry vignettes are awesome…they're the new IT thing.
don't suppose that picture will make it to pinterest.
you look adorable in your paint clothes…..I look that way every single day of the week. seriously.
looking forward to seeing some of the things you've done at the house….can only imagine how awesome it's looking!
You story resonates with me…it touched my heart.
I've tried to backtrack through the path of posts to understand what led to your *now*.
Praying for you…
And love these real-life-in-time-photos…
Stopping.
To pray God's grace and peace and joy into your life.
Blessings,
