Making a beautiful home



I'm busy unpacking, but want to share bits of my successes. (and Sondra's, since she was doing a lot of the design work yesterday!)




Here is our reading/prayer nook in our bedroom. Don't you just want to sit and relax over the Bible, or the latest Atlantic, or Runner's World?!


This is the dining room just before dinner last night. NB the sideboard with food. We need to loose the ladder and vacuum, but the candles add ambience, no? Nice books too!










This was Sondra's Baby--artfully placed pitchers above the cupboards. She forced me to give up the big black hole garbage can that I was really enjoying for the more understated kitchen garbage can--oh well. It does look better.

And this is what happens when you are so busy unpacking that you leave an open jam jar on the table with a toddler.
