• The front door side lites are white. I like it better because now the little windows look more part of the trim. I love chunky molding around the front door.
.
Before there was a white painted piece in between the door and windows so it chopped up the wood look anyway.
.
Still trying to decide what to do about the exterior.

  • That chair is a recovered piece from Goodwill. Looks like the previous owner had cats 😮 🙈 They clawed the sides. That’s OK. I want to deconstruct it anyway. Dreading pulling the staples out. I am not up to date on my tetanus 😩 Some days I feel too old for this diy sh•t. ❤️

  • Why does she have to be so cute? Ms. Mazi is the baby girl I never had. That rocking chair is my most favorite ever! Turns out, it’s Mazi’s fave too.
.
Today was supposed to snow but it just rained. Schools and retail shops opened late. Once I dropped off the boys I went to Home Depot and bought the Samsung basic top loader washer without the agitator. It was the right price and had the cycles I am used to. .
One more week before delivery though, so in the meantime I hope our old washer doesn’t bust through the floor 😮
. 
I am trying to keep my mind off of this day one year ago. My family and I made the difficult decision to take my mom off of life support after her stroke. Losing your mom is the worst thing! No doubt! 😞 This bedroom was built here with her in mind. She would have loved it!
.
At least it’s hump day. 💕 Plus I found that gold mirror at Goodwill today too. 👍🏻 Hope you have a lot to smile about this gloomy Wednesday. ❤️

  • Happy Tuesday! I got the day right, I think. Yesterday I thought it was Sunday the whole day. I love long weekends when the family is home.

This is a picture of the mantel in the napping room. I found it for $100 at an antique store. Lucky, right?

I like to call our guest room the napping room after that children’s book The Napping House. We used to read it to our boys hoping it would make them sleepy but, no luck there. It just made me very sleepy (or maybe that was just having twin babies). Have a fun day!

  • Be my guest, be my guest! 😃 Our napping room is ready for sleeping! Yes! .
I washed the bedding and slipcover on the rocking chair and it smells like fresh laundry in here. .
Come to Virginia my friends! ❤️ It’s time to hang out in VA, see historical sites, tour Washington DC and stay with the Brownings! 👍🏻
.
See you soon!

  • Our family room is really wide so the sofas are “floating” rather than up against the walls. That leaves these corners open for something interesting. Since my Ficus trees have decided to drop their leaves all over tarnation I put these old iron porch pillars leaning against the wall. Jacquiline @georgiasnest said to put some greenery on them. Look... I love them with hanging plants. Now they are more noticeable. Thank you Jacqueline for the suggestion. Also, @_youfloral suggested a vine to grow up them. .
So many options! 👏👏👏 Happy Sunday!!! I mean Monday 😂 My family is home so it feels like the weekend still 😂

  • Thrift store finds this week - brass candle holders. I like them in the dining room. I have five of them on top of an antique dresser. 👏
.
I wish we were thrift store shopping today but our 5 year old washer is broken and we need a new one. It cleans but jiggles so much that it’s in a completely different spot in the laundry room ever load. 😮 I am afraid it’s goin to bust through a wall or even the floor. 😩 I can only do laundry when nobody is home because of the noise.
.
I am not getting a front loader this time. The rim inside gets gross and I have to do really small loads to get my clothes clean. Do you have a washer you love? Tell me.
. 
Happy Saturday!

  • I put a shelf up in our bathroom. This is on the first floor and sits right in the foyer hall.  I love the black and white tile floor. Hoping to do a super dark color on the walls. The shelf is from @kirklands ... .
So I am hanging  out this Friday night with my three boys playing eighties music on Sonos. Happy times! Hope you are having fun too! .

  • TGIF! Except I have a sick boy home from school today. The flu is going around like crazy. We get flu shots every year, my scientist husband is a big believer. This year I didn’t take one of my kids to get his and now he’s sick. 😩 Makes me feel like a bad mom.  Hopefully it’s not the flu and just a sore throat. Hope you are all healthy and staying warm. We’re half way through February which means March is just around the corner 🌼🌺🌻🌸 I am thinking about my porch pots and what I want them to feature this spring. 🌿🌷. Have a super cozy weekend!
