i wanted to play tonight
with you all for white wednesday
so
i
dug in my files
focusing
on what my decorating loves are
sometimes it helps to see it through the camera lens
i love white paint
i love white lace
i love white buttons
i love white dresses
i love white chippy
blogging has helped me to focus on pretty
to see beauty even if there is chaos around me
I am focusing on the prize
It is in sight.
It is becoming more clear.
I can see it.
Rene- Beautiful white post! It made me smile to look at all your lovely whites...newer/older/chippy/and burnished with love. Great post-xxooDiana

i m a lil unfocused tonight......my pink tractor created a lil upheavel...one item...leads to rearranging...which leads to a hot mess.....a feeling of discontent and a bigger mess!
ReplyDeleteS i had to take a break....grab some coffee and get a bit of blog hoppn to clear my mind.
love all ur loves...and i m glad u r posting between ur tasks
Gracie - I absolutely LOVE all gorgeous whites! You really have an eye for beauty and putting together charming vignettes. Your home must be absolutely breath-taking... :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I just read your previous post. You are an AMAZING woman! True, not fake like so many of our posts can seem, with the perfect "cropped" pictures so we make sure our messes don't show. I am also an antiques dealer for 25 years and have sevevral rooms that are out of control (they look just like yours! I've never really felt too guilty, but I do always feel like I just can't ever catch up! I LOVE my life and I hate to clean, but I like to decorate and have a nice house so always that inner turmoil! I will not however be saying on my death bed " I wish I would have been more of a neat nick!" I will be saying "life was good, my kids were happy,and I enjoyed every minute of my rusty ,crusty, thrill of the hunt lifestyle!" Don't be so hard on yourself, you are more "normal" than you think!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Rene! And I just love all your decorating loves!

Hi Rene!
ReplyDeleteI love your collage!
you have such an eye for beauty...it is so much fun to see things thru your lens!
I am so glad you are seeing light at the end of your tunnel!
Hope you can continue to stay motivated! To stay focused!
Hugs,
Donna
And I love visiting...
ReplyDeleteRene' our tastes are SO very similar...we would have a hard time shopping together..as we would want the same things.
ReplyDeleteYou lean a bit more toward the chippy than I...but otherwise we could be very happy in the same decorated home.
Just sweet, sweet stuff...and I see where you have a hard time parting with anything. I am the same, my garage is becoming full of "can't part with's", but don't have room for right now.
Rose
These photos are fabulous! You must fill me in on your editing software.
ReplyDeletefoundaround@centex.net Thanks Susan
