WHITE... GRAY...

SO, THIS WEEKEND I HAD A CHRISTMAS BABY SHOWER. IT WAS FUN! OF COURSE WHEN I AM HAVING PEOPLE OVER I GO CRAZY FINISHING LITTLE PROJECTS THAT I KEEP THINKING I WILL GET TO SOMEDAY AND DEEP CLEAN EVERYTHING. WELL AS I WAS DEEP CLEANING I STARTED NOTICING MY WALLS... I HAVE WHITE WALLS AND OF COURSE I LOVE THEM, BUT AS I WAS CLEANING UP CLOSE I SAW HOW DIRTY THEY LOOK OVER TIME. LIKE DOWN THE HALLWAY FROM HENRYS ROOM THERE IS A LINE WHERE HE RUBS HIS HANDS TURNING THE CORNER THAT NO MATTER HOW HARD I SCURBBED IT JUST WOULD NOT COME OFF. SO I NEED TO RE-PAINT IT. OR ON THE LIVING ROOM MOLDING, EVERY LITTLE PIECE OF DUST SHOWS. 

IT GOT ME THINKING... TWO BOYS, AND A DOG. WHITE WALLS...

THAT I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY WIPE DOWN... I MAYBE NEED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE NEXT HOUSE...

BUT, I LOVE WHITE... BUT, I HATE DIRTY LOOKING WALLS...

SO THIS IS MY THOUGHT FOR THE NEXT HOUSE IN ALL THE MAIN LIVING AREAS... LIGHT GRAY. OF COURSE IT'S NOTHING NEW TO ME, I LOVE IT. ITS STILL NETURAL, ITS STILL MINIMAL BUT, IT WILL NOT SHOW EVERY LITTLE THING.

ITS JUST THE PERFECT KID FRIENDLY COLOR. I LOVE IT. SO THATS MY THOUGTHS FOR THE NEXT HOUSE. WE WILL BE MOVING IN 6 MONTHS AND OF COURSE I AM ALREADY THINKING ABOUT WHAT I'LL DO DIFFERENTLY. :) 

TABLE TOP CHRISTMAS TREES.

THIS YEAR FOR CHRISTMAS, I AM DOING A TABLE TOP CHRISTMAS TREE. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO ONE AND FOUND THE CUTEST SMALL CHRISTMAS TREE. I LOVE THE IDEA OF IT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE YOUNGER CHILDREN.

THEN, I AM GOING TO MAKE OUR STOCKINGS THIS YEAR... (TRY TO AT LEAST). I FOUND THESE VERY SIMPLE FELT STOCKINGS AND JUST THOUGHT THEY WERE SO CUTE.

{STOCKINGS VIA}

I LOVE DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS, ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SEASONS TO DESIGN HOMES AND PARTIES, I HAVE ALREADY DONE OUR CHURCH, AND IT WAS A BLAST. 

IF AND THAT IS A BIG "IF" I THINK MY LITTLE TREE TURNS OUT PICTURE WORTHY, I WILL POST PICS AND SHOW Y'ALL. BUT I HAVE TO GET STARTED ON IT TODAY.. Y'ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND KEEP WARM!
