foyer decorating

Yesterday the boys helped clear the construction mess from the foyer of Sam’s room…and I began decorating.

We transformed the closet from a scary collection of 2×4’s, paint buckets and spiders into a lovely little reading-nook overlooking the back yard.

…finally our dusty boxes of books have a home…

The foyer is a beautiful space, with light streaming in from both sides – what a huge difference changing the back door to glass (although this door still needs some attention) and the side door to a glass french door.

…we added a shelf to the cove for our collection of treasures and memories…

Finally, no more obstacles and spiders to navigate through – instead a welcoming collection of treasures and favorite books.

 

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.

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
