Happy Thoughts

   

In the past I have been accused of being Miss Susie Sunshine. Someone actually told me, “You have such a perfect life.”

Both are not true, but one thing is true…… My life is not perfect, but I have a perfect God.

It is all about attitude, and how we look at our life’s journey.

I have chosen to look at the positive side more than the negative side. I am not going to sit around and make my list of all the bad things that have happened in my life.

Let’s face it, it wasn’t fun to go through the negative things  in the first place, what will I accomplish by re-hashing it over, and over in my head?

If I choose to do that I am choosing to go down a dark hole, and once you go there it is hard to get out.

None of these things can be done without faith in what God has in store for my life, no matter what I am going through I have to remain faithful in knowing God has a plan.

I am not going to say I am always positive, or always joyful and happy, but that is what I try to be by the grace of God.

So on this beautiful Sunday, shall we all try to do this……

 

 

MY FRIDAY FAVORITES

BLOG POST

Sherry Hart shows how she displays a bookcase, step by step. She is the queen of bookshelves!! A post worth reading.

ROOM

Jennifer from the Pink Pagoda blog posted this image, and I fell in love with the room and the fabric. I found out later in the week the fabric has been discontinued so the hunting began, need I say more?

OUTDOOR SPACE

Love the plant hanger on the gate.

DIY WORTH DOING

via

The reason I named this, “Worth Doing,” is because I am not much of a DIYer so it realllly has to be worth it for me to do it.

I think this would be such a fun summer decorative item if you used a portion of a map that showed one of your favorite places to visit in the summer. Mine would have to be Carmel, California. What would yours be?

A Busy Brain = TROUBLE!

 

My brain is busy today, but I am not, so that is a formula for getting into trouble!!

Today seems to be a day of many thoughts going on in  my brain. Of course it all has to do with decorating, well, at least mostly.

Today's thoughts consist of:

How to ask Hubby to paint my little childhood desk cream without him saying NO!!…

( when I was a little girl this desk was painted almost the same depression era green as my cabinets)

Let’s go outside for awhile!

 I am trying to figure out how to light the pergola above the fence.

(I think using some strip lighting hidden on the cross board on the top might just do the trick.  I would love a little hanging lantern, but not enough head room.)

Since I am thinking about lighting, how about the

lighting for my two  vintage outdoor neon letter P’s.

(Live-in handy-man trying out different spots on the back wall to hang my newest letter P)


(Getting a little less happy with each time I ask him to move it, go figure!)

Now I am jumping into thoughts of my bedroom! Let's go back into the house and down the hall to my bedroom......

Wanting my capiz hanging pendants hung above my nightstands. I have had these for almost a year, they are still in the box!

 Won't they be pretty!?

How about a little catalog shopping!?

Still hunting for round mirrors for side of bed, (wisteria has the perfect one’s, waiting for them to go on sale!)

I am thinking of two mirrors in different sizes  stacked one on top of the other similar to the above picture. I would use the smallest size and the one on the bottom in this image.

Here are the two sizes and styles.......

This one is only 10.5 inches.

This one is a little different and measures 15.5 in. in diameter.

I have recently sent away for three more pillow fabric swatches for a summer look, more on that later. I am now onto plan C!!

Do your thought processes jump around like mine do?
