entry reveal

In that never ending quest

to make a house

a home.

A reflection of you.

The you of today...

not the you of
13 years ago...

(Me...13 years ago.)

A well used area of our home
known as the
backdoor entryway.

There were so many coats hanging
from those little hooks
attached to the mirror
that it was literally pulling the
frame apart.

Time for some heavy-duty hardware

that was up to the 

Ondrus Standard.

While we're at it
why not add some wainscoting
because that wall sees so much action
it's hard to keep up
with paint touch-ups and plastering nicks
 in the drywall.
Oh...
and let's lighten it up
with some fresh paint...
 a farewell to red and
a howdy-do
to my newest love
Shaker Beige.

Every time I step foot in this area

it is like a breath of 

fresh air...

even on an overcast day 

like today.

Ah...

and there's my little find

holding a vase of lilacs...

giving all who enter the sweet scent

of hello.

Carrying the look down the

adjacent wall

that gets the full brunt

of this heavily traveled area...

like armor for drywall.

I am still putting
the finishing touches
on the project...

A  splash of color

comes from the new

and very much needed

area rug.

Once you get me started

it's nearly impossible to stop me

(sorry, babe...although he can't

complain too much 

since I'm a do-it-myself kind of gal)

But...

 now I'm dreaming of a

 spa bedroom...

in shades of Whythe

another color that has me

exhaling

and inviting calm

into my world.

What are you doing 

this weekend?
