Home is where my heart is. These four walls and, much more importantly, the souls inside are my raison d’être. Homemaking is hardly the drudgery that modern culture wants us to believe.

The homemaker knows there is never a dull moment, and like any job, there is a risk of burnout. So join me as I cultivate my home and keep the drudgery at bay by breathing new life into my surroundings and its residents whenever I can.

Well, the "pretty room" as we've always called it is JUST about finished and I couldn't wait 'til it was, to share it with you. Life is going by SO fast with all these projects and I've been so neglectful in posting here. I figured with a new space, I should celebrate...
