Laying on the Couch

I am being a good girl and simply resting -

- recovery from surgery to remove squamous cell cancer on my leg 4 weeks ago was going slowing and now there are complications because I did too much too soon.

Since I can't be styling the new bistro chairs a friend picked up at a Pop Up Shop I had to skip today,

I thought I would share some of the beautiful inspiration I saw as I scrolled Instagram throughout the day.

I have been following Elizabeth @elizabeths_humble_house for years as she and her husband transform an old house into a magical home.

It would be worth joining Instagram just to watch the daily changes of this incredible house although she is working on a book about the transformation.

She is a fabulous photographer, Elizabeth Maxson Photography, and you can learn more about her here.

This island shared by Emily @our1880farmhouse 

and this coffee table shared by @dreamywhiteslifestyle are the inspiration for a coffee table I was working on.

I'm not sure I can convince Steve he needs a checkered floor in his studio, but it would look so cool.

I have an old wooden box and the new chandelier in the dining room might need some greenery like this beautiful room styled by Tammy @sweckerfarm.

I haven't shared my 2019 Goals yet, but knocking a hole in a hallway wall to create a closet is on my list - I have not convinced Steve that this is an efficient idea yet, but this door will certainly be fun if I talk him into the closet idea!

And speaking of efficiency, which is my Word of the Year for 2018, this chair shared by Shirley  @houspitalitydesigns, would be a much more efficient design for the chair next to our fireplace.

I had to share this pic just because it is so cute.

I'll leave you with this perfect little cottage shared by Suzanne @shabbymemoir.

Hopefully my next post will be of my garden or if things go well, that coffee table project I mentioned.

I should mention that it's possible some of the people I featured have private accounts. I'm following all of them, but you might not be able to access them.
