The little things....

Isn't it amazing how the little things in life are a big deal?

I recently purchased a home and what a whirlwind that has been. Fixing, painting, rewiring, organizing and unpacking are only a few of the obligations I have. When I moved in all I wanted to do was hang a couple of photos, put a few candles out, set up my knick knacks and layout my quilts. I wanted to make it a home. So what if the house needed new outlets, switches, paint, flooring and what seemed like everything else. Unfortunately my timeline for making my house a home was a little off and I had to do all of those OTHER things first...well, its my time now. I have started my nesting and I love it. I walk into my home and cannot believe how much more welcoming and happy it is.

The little things that make me happy:

• The shelf above my sink with its three flower pots, candle, two soap dispensers and of course my decorative plates.

• The shower curtain I made for our new master bath. It has a quilted, asymmetrical vibe that I love.

• My console table that makes entering the house so spectacular.

• My new shabby chic furniture. I not only get a two fabulous pieces, but it is a remembrance of Paul's late grandfather. Having furniture that is meaningful and free makes it extra awesome.

• The light fixture husby so masterfully purchased and installed so that I can read all through the night. 

•  All the beautiful flowers, plants and other little details that make my home quaint and cozy. 

It is important that I  remember that little details can be a reminder of how great life is. Although issues come up, some how I will get through and until then find I can use these little things to remind me to be happy.
