Home - Day Eleven

Home - Day Nine

I was thisclose to not posting a picture today. I'm just soooo tired from the first day of Art Camp + visiting with family + other daily stuff. But I just sucked it up and took this shot after doing the dishes. I really like my sink and the window above it. The birdhouses were painted by Mazzy and there's a large feather and a willow tree figurine. There's also little plants that are growing, growing.

The first day of Art Camp was exciting and I wasn't as nervous as I was last year. I'm pretty sure most of the kids think I'm a total dork, haha.

Home - Day Eight

The other side of the dining room. More paneling! And beautiful abstract paintings by my husband.

Home - Day Seven

One corner of the dining room. You can see the side-door, some of my framed art, and the pretty windows facing the back yard. The windows are never covered since there's hardly a chance of anyone peeking in. I do love the afternoon light that seeps in around five p.m.

Home - Day Six

Here's what you see when you walk in the side door. Lots of brown! One day I'd like to re-do the whole kitchen and dining room, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. Things are a bit messy in there today since I'm getting ready for Art Camp next week. You can see the art supply pile on the counter on the left. The fridge is covered in kiddo ABC magnets and papers from school. There's also old pipes and stuff left over from the previous owners who had a washer/dryer right next to the fridge. One day we'll fix that, one day.

Home - Day Four

Across from the windows. Our living room faces the east so every morning there an abundance of sunshine to begin our day. I love it and it's so peaceful. There's another mermaid lamp, houseplant, candles, and pictures of the kiddo on the wall. You can see the walls are painted a very, very light green. Most people don't notice it until they look at the white ceiling.

On my desk at work. I'm drawing a bug poster for my face painting gig tomorrow at the library. Instead of just asking the kid what they want I'm going to let them pick a bug. It'll save so much time. This year's Summer Reading Program theme is "Catch the Reading Bug" and it'll be my third year painting faces. I'm totally excited!

Home - Day Three

To the left of the windows: framed art and photos, the front door, more houseplants, and a custom made tv cabinet w/ big tv, dvd player, cd player, sound system, and record player.

Home - Day Two

To the right of the pretty windows: The loveseat and side table with a mermaid lamp, houseplants, a candle, and plenty of magazines. The painting on the wall was done by my husband.

Home - Day One

The windows in our living room. There's my Texas Star and our two soapstone deities. I didn't want heavy curtains over these windows since I really enjoy all the natural light that comes in.

Friday Gratitude and a New Project

I'm Thankful For:

• the smell of the air after an afternoon rain shower.
• time with my parents.
• letting go and moving on.
• letters and texts from friends when I need it.
• cleaning up clutter.

And this month's NaBloPoMo theme is "Home". I hope to post at least once every day this month with a picture from around my house. This should be interesting...
