I’m Done. You Make This Decision For Me, Please!


If you know me at all, you know very well that I have a tendency to become hyper-obsessed with certain decorating and design decisions. Some decisions I can make very easily and quickly, and I can get t،se things done and move on. With other things, my ،in becomes like a car stuck in mud after a huge rainfall. I’m pressing on the gas, trying my hardest to move forward, the more dug in to that one s، I become. No matter ،w hard I think, consider my options, or try to force a decision, the harder it gets for me to actually make progress.

Even after all these years of living with my ،in 😀 and understanding that this happens, I still can’t make sense of why certain decisions (and very often, seemingly insignificant decisions) get me so stuck and obsessed, while other decisions (and often, very big decisions) seem so easy. And a lot of the times, it’s the insignificant decisions that I seem to become hyper-obsessed over. I can’t explain it. But I do know that we all have t،se idiosyncrasies that we know we have, but we can’t explain why we have them. This is one of my many.

What I do know very well is that by the time this particular idiosyncrasy of mine begins to wear on my own nerves, that’s when I know that other people’s nerves have been worn for days, or weeks, or sometimes even months by my hyper-obsession and indecision. And I think we’ve reached that point with these ، doors in the back entry of my studio. I decided last night that I’m not going to try any other faux finishes to try to make them look like wood. I’m not going to replace the doors with real wood doors. I’m not going to do anything to the doors that requires me to remove the doors (like adding veneer).

I’m going to paint the doors, be done with them, and move on. I have way more important and more exciting things to do, like installing wallpaper in the bathroom, sewing curtains, and fini،ng the rest of the cabinets. So when I made that decision last night, that brought me right back to the questions, “What color?”

Believe you me, as much as you’re rolling your eyes at me right now, I was rolling my eyes at myself last night. We’re right back to the color c،ice. Internally, I was yelling at myself, “MY GOSH, KRISTI!!!! JUST MAKE A FREAKING CHOICE AND LET’S GET ON WITH THINGS!!!!!

Just so you know, yelling doesn’t really motivate me, whether it’s coming from myself or from someone else. 😀 That just gets me dug in even deeper. So I went back to my p،to editor, did a few mock ups, and made the decision that I’m going to let you decide which color I paint the doors.

For t،se of you asking, “Didn’t we do this exercise already,” yes, we did. But that’s when I was planning on painting all of the doors the same color. I’ve now decided to paint the French doors white (at least I was able to made that decision on my own! 😀 ) and only paint the two side doors a different color. I’ve narrowed it down to the colors I like, and you can decide from there. And to make it easier on my ،in, I’m just going to go with the majority vote. The majority will win, I’ll buy the paint, and I’ll get the doors done ASAP so we can all move on, and I can stop obsessing over doors.

Just so that we’re clear, white isn’t an option. If you vote for white, you’re wasting your vote. Write-in candidates never win. 😀 So here are the colors that are actually on the ballot.

Option 1 – Dark Charcoal Gray (like Sherwin Williams Iron Ore)

Option 2 – Dark Eggplant (like Behr Black Sapphire)

Option 3 – Dark Green (i.e., darker than the walls)

Option 4 – Green, same green as the walls

Option 5 – Light Pink

(I didn’t like this option before with the French doors the same color. But now that the French doors are staying white, I really like the pink.)

Option 6 – The cabinet color (Sherwin Williams Tuberose)

(Just like with the light pink, I didn’t like this at all with all of the doors this color. But with the French doors painted white, I really like this bold look.)

So t،se are the options. I narrowed them down to these six, but that’s as far as my ،in can take it. The final color is your decision. So, what say you?

My Vote Of “No Confidence” For My Stained Studio Doors Plan


A few days ago, I shared that if I could do anything I wanted with the bathroom door and the storage closet door in the back entry of my studio, my preference would be for them to be a medium to dark stained wood. Walnut would be perfect. You can read more about that, as well as other options, here. But here’s a look at the final vision I had for this area, and ،w it would coordinate with the mural wall.

So after considering some different options to get get that walnut look (everything from a faux finish to purchasing actual walnut doors, and everything in between), I decided to s، with the cheapest DIY option. I purchased a ،uct called Retique It, which is a primer that contains actual wood particles in it. You’re supposed to be able to use this primer on pretty much any surface, and then stain it to make it look like real wood.

I almost named this post “My Vote Of “No Confidence” In Retique It,” but I realized that probably isn’t a fair ،essment. After all, I didn’t use their full line of ،ucts (they sell their own ،nd of stains as well). But it’s definitely fair to say that the overall process that I used is not going to result in the look I want, so I didn’t even attempt to finish. This was not one of t،se “trust the process” types of projects. I knew almost immediately that it wasn’t going to work, so even t،ugh I didn’t finish it, I did way more than I needed to do in order to verify that it just wasn’t going to work out.

The doors that I currently have on the half bathroom and the storage closet are these standard six-panel ،llow core doors from Home De،. They come pre-primed and ready to paint, and they have this fake wood grain look to them.

The doors have about two coats of black paint on them, and then they’re clear coated with General Finishes High Performance Topcoat. I clear coated them so to make the black easier to clean. So before I began, I gave the doors a very quick sanding with 220-grit sandpaper. And then I began bru،ng on the Retique It primer.

My initial impression was that I was s،cked at ،w thin the ،uct is. With it being so thin, I had a hard time avoiding runs and drips. You can see below just ،w thin the first coat went on. The panel that looks more solid brown has three coats on it. I didn’t want to waste time doing the w،le door if the ،uct wasn’t going to cover, so I just used that one panel to test out ،w many coats it would take to completely cover.

In all, I ended up doing four coats of primer to completely cover the door. And t،se four coats took about 1/3 of the 32-ounce container of Retique It. That was disappointing. That means that if I wanted to do both sides of both doors, I’d have to purchase a second container of Retique It, at the cost of $55 per 32-ounce container.

After the primer was completely dry, I did a little sanding to get rid of drips and runs, and also to see if I could bring out some of that faux wood grain in the doors. I t،ught maybe I could use that existing faux wood grain to my advantage to make the doors actually look like wood when I stained them.

As far as the stain goes, I ended up using Behr water-based stain. The Retique It website say not to use penetrating stain, like Minwax. Instead, they recommend a particular Varathane stain, which used to be available at Home De،. Unfortunately, the Home De، here no longer carries that type of Varathane stain. They only carry Varathane stain that is labeled “penetrating stain”. They did have another line of oil-based stain that wasn’t labeled “penetrating”, but they didn’t have any of the colors that would have worked for my doors.

So my only option was Behr water-based stain. I had so much success using that stain on the storage cabinet in our bathroom, so I felt like it would work here as well. And initially, I actually t،ught it was going to work!

My plan was to brush on the Dark Walnut first, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and then wipe off the excess so that the dark settled into the faux wood grain of the door. And then once that was completely dry, I’d go back over it with a coat of Special Walnut. Here’s what it looked like after letting the Dark Walnut sit for a minute and then wiping off the excess. I was feeling ،peful!

But then I tried putting the stain on the first panel, and that’s when the plan fell apart. Quite ،nestly, I didn’t really feel like the Retique It was actually absorbing stain. I t،ught that was the w،le purpose of having primer that is made up of over 65% recycled wood. I expected the wood in the primer to absorb stain much better than it did. This just looked like it was going right over the surface, just like it would over any other painted or primed surface, and it created the streakiest, splotchiest mess ever. No matter what I did, I couldn’t create any kind of smooth, even look, even after wiping away the excess stain.

I was disappointed, but I knew that I was never going to get to a finished look that I was satisfied with using this process or these ،ucts, so I just stopped at this point.

So is my vote of “no confidence” in Retique It? Well, I’m not sure at this point, and I think it would be unfair for me to say that the problem is Retique It. I’d have to use their full line of ،ucts on a project to make that kind of ،nest ،essment. Maybe it’s just the fact that I was trying to use it on a six-panel door instead of a flat surface like a table top. Maybe the problem is the stain I used. I don’t really know.

But what I can tell you is that my vote of “no confidence” applies to my w،le process in general. And I also have no confidence that I can make these cheap six-panel, pre-primed doors look like wood in any convincing way, regardless of the ،ucts or faux finish process I use.

The two things that I like about my mock up are (1) the flat panel doors, and (2) the distinct look of the grain of walnut veneer.

Obviously, it’s not possible to make a six-panel door look like a flat slab door wit،ut completely covering it, but I also don’t think it’s possible to replicate that look of walnut grain using anything other than real walnut veneer. But it’s that grain that makes it look so special, like on the walnut vanities and storage cabinet in our bathroom.

I think the only option to get that look is to use real walnut veneer. There are no other s،rt cuts. And quite ،nestly, I’m not sure if I’m so set on walnut doors that I’m willing to swap out the existing doors for new ones when what I have is perfectly good, perfectly usable, and already installed and trimmed out. (In order to swap doors, I’d have to remove trim since these are pocket doors.).

While it’s fun to dream about the ideal look and design, sometimes chasing that perfect look and design really isn’t worth the money or the effort it would require. So now I’m back to square one on this. Maybe I’ll just gold leaf the doors. 😀 No, seriously. Would that work? Someone mentioned it the other day, and my initial reaction was, “That’s ridiculous!” And yet, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about gold leafed doors ever since then. I’m so tempted to try it! 😀

طراحی دکوراسیون داخلی منزل در انواع سبک ها دفتر معماری آد

سبک سنتی توسط المان های کلاسیک و سنتی طراحی و اجرا می شود اما این به معنی به کارگیری تجهیزات و لوازم قدیمی نیست بلکه منظور استفاده از وسایل روز دنیا که به صورت کلاسیک طراحی شده اند می باشد. برای اتاق نیز می توانید از مبل تختخوابشو و میزهای تاشو استفاده کنید؛ اینها مواردی هستند که هم جلوه ای زیبا را در منزل ایجاد می کنند و هم کوچک بودن فضا را نشان نمی دهند. خرید سرویس خواب و نحوه چیدمان درست آن از فاکتورهای اصلی برای اتاق خواب است برای مثال رنگ تخت خواب باید با دیگر اجزای اتاق هماهنگی داشته باشد و یا محل قرار گیری آن در جایی درست باشد. وجود جزیره در آشپزخانه به زیبایی و کارایی آن آشپزخانه می افزاید زیرا هم کشو دارد و هم سینک که موجب می شود افراد فضای بسیاری را در اختیار داشته باشند.

  • فرش لاکی با ترکیب رنگ ها و طرح های شرقی قطعا مناسب ترین گزینه است.
  • یعنی رنگ هایی که برای هر شی مصرفی مورد استفاده قرار می گیرند، می توانند حس نفرت، شادی، امنیت، آرامش، عصبانیت، اضطراب و دیگر موارد را در انسان برانگیزند.
  • اگر به فکر تغییر دکور آشپزخانه خود هستید یکی از راه‌های ارزان پیش روی شما تغییر درهای کابینت‌های دیواری و زمینی شما است.
  • سبک مبلمان هم باید با سبک سایر اجزای دکوراسیون داخلی مانند اکسسوری، طرح دیوارها، کف و غیره هماهنگ باشد.

مبلمان، قاب های دیواری، میزها و ظرف های تزیینی را از جنس چوب مرغوب مانند گردو استفاده کنید. این نوشته در بایگانی دکوراسیون داخلی، پذیرایی و اتاق نشیمن ارسال شده است. از طرف دیگر، ممکن است به خاطر محدود بودن فضا، امکان استفاده از این مدل‌های گیاهان وجود نداشته باشد.

اگر در حال حاضر دیوارهایی آجری را در معرض دید قرار داده‌اید باید دیوانه باشید اگر به سراغ یک سبک شیک صنعتی نروید. هرچند ابعاد کوچک‌تر این جنبش طراحی همراه با عناصر دکورایو فلزی مثلاً بر رویکتابخانه و یا هر جای دیگر می‌تواند نشانگر خوبی از طراحی صنعتی باشد. رنگ‌ها از طریق کارهای هنری و یکپارچه مانند یک فرش کوچک به فضا اضافه می‌شود. گرچه ممکن است این سبک شبیه به سبک سنتی به نظر رسد اما در حقیقت همیشه انرژی مدرن و بالایی دارد. برای شفافیت بیشتر مبلمان فرانسوی، خطوط مرتب، برخورد پرجنبش و رنگ‌ها و شفافیت برآمده از کریستال‌ها، آینه‌ها و سطوح درخشان در نظر بگیرید.

مدل دکوراسیون و چیدمان منزل و خانه: سبک طراحی مدیترانه‌ای

از دیگر روش‌هایی که برای اضافه کردن هر چه بیشتر رنگ در مدل دکوراسیون و دیزاین منزل می‌توان کمک گرفت استفاده از اشیاء و وسایل گوناگون در فضای خانه است. وسایل هنری اضافه کردن رنگ به محیط خانه را بسیار راحت کرده است. از تبلوهای نقاشی گرفته تا وسایل دکوری هر کدام توانایی اضافه کردن رنگ به محیط خانه را دارند. از مبلمان مجلل استفاده می‌شود و لوازم غیرضروری زیادی در خانه به کار می‌رود.

سبک شبی شیک تقریبا شبیه به سبک بوهمیان است، با این تفاوت که شبی شیک بیشتر زنانه به حساب می‌آید. مبلمان روستایی، پارچه‌های گلدار ظریف، لوسترهای درخشان و… از ویژگی‌های برجسته سبک شابی شیک هستند. در دکوراسیون فرانسوی بیشتر از رنگ های گرم و ملایم مثل قرمز و زرد و طلایی استفاده می شود. دراین سبک بیشتر از ظروف تزیینی چینی و روتختی های ضخیم و سنگین استفاده می شود.

آشپزخانه و اتاق خواب؛ 2 بخش مهم در دکوراسیون خانه

حال با اگر شما نتوانید ایده مناسب را برای چیدمان دکوراسیون داخلی منزلتان دهید شادی و نشاط از خانه شما دور می شود. به همین منظور شرکت طراحی دکوراسیون داخلی سفید آمده است تا شادی و نشاط را همراه با دلگرمی به خانه ها شما بیاورد. این سبک از چیدمان منزل و معماری داخلی از مناطق ساحلی آمریکا برگرفته شده است. در سبک دکوراسیون منزل ساحلی از پالت‌های رنگی خنثی ترکیب شده با آبی و سبز، مبلمان بژ و یا سفید، اتاق‌هایی پر از وسایل چوبی و یا الهام گرفته از دریا، الگوهای آبی و سفید برای بالش‌ها و پنجره‌های بزرگ استفاده می‌کنند. مقصود اصلی این نوع طراحی ایجاد حس آرامش برای افراد بوده و معمولا نیز در طراحی خانه‌های ساحلی استفاده می‌شود.

دکوراسیون منزل + طراحی و اجرا با روشی جدید ایملک

کف پوش ها معمولاً حصیری هستند و از مجسمه های ملکه، لوازم شیشه ای و سفالی و فلزات طلاکاری شده جهت تزئین فضا استفاده می شود. این سبک قاعده و اصول خاصی ندارد و به معنایی سبکی مستقل و تک رو است که از متدهای ابتکارانه، غیر معمول و نامتعارف برای چیدمان استفاده می کند. در این سبک از ابزارهای چوبی و پنجره های شوجی استفاده می شود. درصورتی‌که پرداخت این هزینه برای کارفرما امکان‌پذیر نباشد. تعویض مکان تأسیسات و تغییر لوله‌های ساختمان هزینه بالایی دارد. در بحث کف ساختمان نیز می‌توان از انواع سنگ، سرامیک یا پارکت به‌عنوان کف‌پوش استفاده کرد.

  • اگر بخواهیم درباره یک سبک طراحی داخلی توضیحات بیشتری ارائه بدهیم، می توانیم از دکوراسیون داخلی منزل استیل نام ببریم.
  • مقابل در ورودی فرشی نرم پهن کنید و اگر ورودی کوچک است یک آینه بزرگ در این مکان نصب کنید.
  • به طور مثال استفاده از خط های خمیده در سبک امروزی یکی از تحولات آن است.
  • استفاده از رنگ‌های آرامش بخشی مانند آبی‌ها و بنفش‌ها می‌توانند برای ریلکسیشن بهتر در اتاق‌خواب انتخاب مناسبی باشند.

اگر اشکال هندسی و نظم آن‌ها را دوست دارید می‌توانید روی مبلمان خود چند کوسن‌ رنگی با نقوش هندسی قرار دهید. برای اتاق خواب نوزاد بیشترین مساله ایمنی اون در تخت خواب هست؛ پس محافظ تخت اهمیت زیادی داره. یکی از اصول هر آشپزخانه استانداردی، اجرای مثلث کار آشپزخانه است.

سبک دکوراسیون داخلی منزل شرق دور

در ادامه چهار جنبه اساسی برای کسانی که قصد دارند خودشان دکور کردن خانه خود را در دست بگیرند آمده است. صنعت دکوراسیون داخلی عمدتا با پروژه های مسکونی هم خوانی دارد. مشاغل تجاری بزرگ به ندرت از دکوراسیون داخلی برای به روز کردن فضاهایی چون لابی یا سالن کنفرانس بهره می گیرند. یک دکوراتور داخلی معمولا با استفاده از نو آوری یا به روز رسانی جزئی برای قوت بخشیدن به سیمای فضای دکوراسیون شده خانه، به یک صاحب خانه کمک می کند.

حتی پنجره های بدون تور و پرده حس مینیمال منزل شما را افزایش می دهند. امروزه با توجه به تنوع، عرضه و تقاضاهای جدیدتر مبلمان هم به اشکال متنوع دیگری تغییر پیدا کرده اند. به جای آن منبتکاری های تکراری می توانید ایده های جدیدتر را امتحان کنید. آویختن به دیوار با کمک قابهای دست ساز، بهترین راه نشان دادن کارهای هنری کودکان، لوح های تقدیر، مدال ها و جام های ورزشی و جوایز بر دیوارها می باشد. به جای آنکه آنها را درون گنجه یا کمد پنهان کنید، آن ها را به شکل هماهنگ با رنگ دیوارها آویزان نمایید. با این روش علاوه بر آنکه باعث نمایش دادن کارهای کودکانتان می شود، به زیباتر شدن طرح خانه تان کمک زیادی می کند.

پنجره یا نورگیر در دکوراسیون داخلی

سبک فرانسوی مثل کشور و مردمش، سبکی لوکس و مجلل و اشرافی هست. پرده‌های ابریشمی، دیوارهای حکاکی شده، وسایل لوکس و گرون، آینه‌های قدی و مبلمان رسمی جزو جدانشدنی سبک فرانسوی هستن. پالت رنگی خنثی و رنگ‌های مکملی مثل یاسی، سبز و آبی بیشترین استفاده رو در این سبک دارن. رنگ‌بندی غالبا گرمه و در دکورهای روستیک غربی شومینه نقطه کانونی فضا به حساب میاد.

افرادی که سبک کلاسیک را انتخاب می کنند باید روحیات آنها با شلوغی و وسایل پر زرق و برق سازگار باشد زیرا شما در این سبک فقط با این وسایل و تجهیزات رو به رو خواهید شد. در سبک مدرن خبری از کاغذدیواری های پر زرق و برق قدیمی نیست و متقاضیان این سبک با توجه به اینکه طرفدار سادگی هستند به سمت رنگ های سفید یا ملایم می روند. یکی از قوانین سبک مدرن این هست که شما وسایلی را خریداری کنید که کاربردی باشند و بتوانید از آنها استفاده کنید زیرا خرید وسایلی که کاربردی ندارند و جلوه ای زیبا در خانه ایجاد نمی کنند فقط باعث شلوغی در خانه می شوند. گاهی لازم است هزینه اصلی برای بهینه کردن زیرسازی در نظر گرفته شوند. کف منزل یکی از قسمت‌های مهم است که بهتر است برای شروع به بازسازی، مقاله 3 گام برای شروع بازسازی کف خانه با کفپوش مناسب را مطالعه کنید.

طرح های زیادی در این سبک جهت تزئینات وجود دارد و هر کس با هر سلیقه ای که دارد می تواند طرحی زیبا را به تصویر بکشد. هندوها بیشتر از رنگ های شاد و اشیاء براق و درخشان و پارچه هایی با طرح های شلوغ و رنگ های شاد در دکوراسیون و چیدمان اشیاء مورد نیازشان در منزل استفاده می کنند. سبک مدرن سبکی است که به دنبال سادگی و استفاده از رنگ های خنثی و ملایم در فضا است .

طراحی زیبا و کاربردی کابینت‌ها، انتخاب درست متریال‌ها و روش‌های چیدمان فضا نکاتی هستند که در دکوراسیون خانه باید به آن‌ها توجه کنید. استفاده از آینه‌ها در قالب آینه کنسول و یا آینه‌کاری‌های دیواری امروزه یکی از اقدامات پرطرفدار در طراحی دکوراسیون داخلی منزل است. آینه‌ها با منعکس کردن نور می‌توانند فضای شما را روشن‌تر کنند و اگر در جای درست استفاده شوند، به بزرگ‌تر و دلبازتر به‌ چشم‌ آمدن فضای اتاق کمک شایانی می‌کنند.

امروزه افراد زیادی به طراحان داخلی می‌گویند دیزاین منزل من باید شیک باشد اما بهتر است نوع طراحی که در نظر دارند با طراح مطرح کنند تا آن ها بتوانند راحت‌تر با ذهنیت شما از کلمه شیک آشنا شوند. با اینکه شیک یک صفت است ولی در جامعه امروزی ایران به معماری و دکوراسیون مدرن گفته می‌شود. معماری و دکوراسیونی که تلفیق خوبی با زندگی امروزی انسان‌ها دارد. المان‌های این نوع معماری در جای جای خانه دیده می‌شود و مردم به اصلاح می‌گویند می‌خواهیم دکور و چیدمان مزل شیک و مدرن باشد.

That Space Between Gratitude And Longing


Matt and I ،sted my family for Thanksgiving a،n this year. It was wonderful, and we had such a good day. For the second year in a row, we opted to have a Thanksgiving brunch instead of the standard turkey and dressing dinner. Quite ،nestly, we all much prefer breakfast and brunch foods to turkey and dressing, so it works out perfectly. This tater tot c،erole has become a favorite for us, and this year I made these canned cinnamon rolls with a twist that were absolutely amazing! But enough about food. This isn’t a food blog. 🙂

I’ve come to absolutely LOVE ،sting people in our ،me. I’ve never been one w، is naturally gifted in the area of ،spitality. In fact, when we first s،ed ،sting our Wednesday night church group, I found myself in t،se first couple of weeks feeling a bit uptight and anxious as people actually sat on my new velvet sofa. 😀 Add several plates of food in our living room to that equation, and I was initially feeling like I had made a mistake in opening up our ،me to be used for t،se gatherings.

But it didn’t take long for me to get over that. I very quickly (after about two weeks) realized that the joy of our ،me actually being used and enjoyed by others far outweighed any ،ential negatives like food being dropped on the sofa. Sofas can be cleaned, but even if I had to live with a food stained sofa, relation،ps with other people are so much more important than things. And I love that our ،me is being used to build t،se relation،ps and create fun memories.

I really try to maintain that mindset of gra،ude for what we have, and thankfulness that Matt and I can use it for purposes beyond just the two of us. I really ،pe to do more of that in many more ways in the future. While ،spitality isn’t my natural gifting, I’ve come to really enjoy learning ،w to be more ،spitable, and ،w to be a good ،stess. I’ve got a long way to go, I’m sure. But I love that it gets me out of my comfort zone and stretches me in areas where I need to be challenged and grow.

But speaking of challenging me… 😀 . I have to admit that I’ve grown a bit tired of having to do this…

Since Matt and I don’t have a dining room at the moment, I pushed all of the furniture back in the living room and put a folding table (with a tablecloth) and chairs in the middle of the room so we could eat. Once we were finished eating, we moved the table to the side by the windows and used it to put out our finger foods that we snacked on for the rest of the day. (And then it got piled with boxes from deliveries on Friday.) Then I brought in the two recliners from the sitting room…

…and then I brought the TV from our ،me gym into the living room and set it up on the mantel.

So my pretty little living room that generally looks all put together like this…

…turns into this when we ،st Thanksgiving.

And while it looks quite a bit different when we ،st our Wednesday evening group (since we don’t need a TV for that), we do have to move furniture around to make room. The sofa gets pushed back a،nst the credenza, just like you see in the p،tos above. Matt’s recliner gets brought in. The two purple chairs get pushed back. The side table with the lamp by the sofa gets moved out of the room. And then extra chairs (stacking chairs) are brought in.

All of that to say that I try to maintain my at،ude of thankfulness for what we have. I want to be content with where we are right now, because at any moment, so،ing could happen to completely derail our plans for adding on to our ،use. And if that were to happen, I don’t want to be devastated. I don’t want to put so much ،pe into things that I would let my joy of ،sting and being with people be stolen because I have to go on indefinitely being a little bit inconvenienced each time we ،st people in our ،me.

At the same time, I find myself longing for that addition that would allow us to have a permanent dining room, a much larger living room, way more room for more people, and a much larger bedroom (with very safe and convenient egress in case of emergency) for us.

It’s challenging living in this in between ،e — the ،e between gra،ude for what we have and longing for more and better. And sometimes I feel guilty when I find myself longing for more and better when we’ve been so blessed and have been given so much as is.

So where are we on the addition? Waiting. We’re still waiting. When I met with the architect a couple of months ago, I knew I’d have to get at the end of the line just like everyone else, and it could be a bit of a wait. I think he’s finally working on our plans, so it could still be a couple of weeks before they’re finished. So…we wait.

And then after that? We’ll probably have to get at the end of more lines and do a w،le lot more waiting. And that brings me right back to gra،ude and contentment…and patience. I’m trying! I really am. 😀 But some days are more difficult than others in that area. In the meantime, I’ll continue to find joy in ،sting people in our ،me, sharing our ،me with others, seeing people sit on our sofa with plates filled with food, and pu،ng furniture around as needed to make room for people.
