One Change ALWAYS Begets Another


Recently I redid the Expedit in our guest room.

I moved things from around the house to fill each box.

My little wire rack has been sitting empty ever since - due not to a lack of time, but a lack of creativity.

This morning, as I cleaned and straightened up the house, I had my "aha" moment.

First I swapped out the red corduroy slip covers for the original blue and white stripes.


Like the Expedit redo, the slipcover swap means another project.

I love all my hand painted pillows, but there are too many stripes.

I have some ideas for new pillows, but I am working on another pillow project right now.

New pillows will have to wait.


I filled the wire rack with shells and buoys from the mantel.

And that means a mantel redo.


I love the red slipcovers, but the stripes give the guest room a fresh, crisp look.


The guest room is done - if you don't count needing to replace the sofa pillows and the pillow on the wicker chair.

Which I guess means I am kidding myself that the guest room is done.

KC is coming for my retirement party in June, which means I have one month.

I still have to finish our bedroom shelves and redo the mantel.

Chances are each of those changes will beget other changes.

Such is life!
