Vintage Metal Trays

I started picking up vintage trays at the thrift store with no real purpose in mind, except that I just really loved them.

And the other week I decided to hang them on the wall in my kitchen. It was the only wall space downstairs that I was having trouble decorating.

And I really love how its turning out.

When you get old...

...Buying furniture really does make you so happy!

Case in point...our new favorite piece: An Eames replica recliner!

The couple we bought it from have the most incredible mid century styled house. I wish I could show you pictures!

Kyle & I walked in there and literally couldn't even talk because it was so amazing!

I think they were sad to see their chair go...

Isn't it beautiful?

Lost

Well, I lost my day job.

But what most fear, I am so thankful for.

I have been released back to where my heart belonged:

to my home.

I came home that morning looked all around me and felt so good.

I started laundry.

Put away what lil' items I had from my office.

And swept the floor.

Tasks I usually tried to fit in between baths, homework or dinner...

now became the highlight of my day!

I swept with a smile.

Relishing in my days ahead and knowing that I am home with my boys, loving them, playing with them & nurturing them.

Then I heard from the bathroom....

"Mommmmm.....wipe my butt!"

It's so good to be home.
