the beauty of fall

Fall is here!
I love the renewed greenness that comes with the fall. In the garden fresh sprigs, tender shoots of grass and even new blossoms are coaxed out by the rain and gentle warmth of the horizon sun – the world is lush and alive.

...fallen leaves amidst the lavender and heather......lavender scent fills the autumn breeze......soft filtered sun through the turning leaves......the hens scratching up fallen seeds and tender new sprigs......grateful for the cool reprieve of fall......pecking at the flowers pushing through the grapevines......even new blossoms emerge in the fall warmth......Russian Sage waves in the fall breeze......cozy nest in the lush tuffs of grass......babies grown, moving onto ventures of their own...

Have a beautiful week!

downstairs redesign

I’m completely flummoxed by our downstairs layout and features. I feel like I’m going to go crazy trying to figure out the best layout to best use the current elements AND create a beautiful space.

staircase renovation...creating open living space

Remember this scene…my living room a construction zone as I tackled our staircase renovation ? Well, here’s the update!

beautiful imperfections

The rough edges of the bureau draw me closer. The ruts and worn edges under my fingertips are like the groves of a record, replaying our precious stories. Memories flood around me, mixing joy and aching nostalgia… little feet pattering down the hall soft rosy cheeks snuggled against teddies Laughter and warm embraces, music and dancing feet. …passing time. My fingers linger on the imperfections as I savor the precious memories… our life and love resonating in these marks, our history inscribed…our beautiful life… beautiful imperfections have a beautiful week xo shelley
