Growing with your home and a DIY

I'm finding that houses tend to grow along with you.

When we built our home we had only two small children to fill the empty spaces.

Years later, our home graciously welcomed a new born.

Although the 4 bedrooms seemed snug at times, it was always enough.

I now have two spare rooms to play with...sigh.

Along with its growing nature, it evolves with us.

It sheds tweety bird sheets for Lilly Pulitzer.

And I'm happy to report that it stood by me when I rebelled in my adolescent home owner years..

 with Kirkland Decor.

It has never given up on me. Not once.

Weeks ago we covered the SW relaxed khaki in our family room with Comfort Grey (lightened 50%)

We are all enjoying the new lighter and brighter room.

For the first time in like forever, I didn't rush to fill the empty spaces.

I allowed the room to breath along with myself.

I waited.

Almost as if I allowed the room to whisper its needs to us.

Ever so softly... I heard.

So

I scribbled out images that soothed my soul and brought color to the walls.

This project cost nothing.

I simply removed this and reused the frames.

My goal now is to find the perfect pillows and rug.

Does your home reflect you and the stage you're in now.

I'm not saying I didn't love my 80's hair and my king size water bed...lol

I'm just enjoying the journey.
