the beauty of blogging

allo gang! i’m taking a big fat hour to do my favorite thing, blog! yes, you’ve been more than gracious listening to me grumble about doing it, and i’m not sure why it became a bit of a burden for the past few posts. as fate would have it, a comment from a new visitor brought me around to thinking hard about why i’m doing this. i love blogging cause it’s freeing, fun and the pics are truly soul food. as you may know i’ve developed a pinterest obsession (all the photos are from there), and tonight i’m just going to indulge in a game called ‘decorate a dream house’ where you just put whatever pics together as you go. this is the kickoff, it’s my very own imaginary chateau in the forest.  just putting it together was such a great meditation and fantastic way to change the focus of the day. come on in, stay for dinner. heck, spend the night!

it’s a very old place with lots of details and history

every door is a portal to a little world

take your shoes off

we’ll light the fire

and kick back

you have your choice of bedrooms

so relax and  unwind

gentlemen have a dressing room

and nook for a nap

ladies have their own little suite

not sure what this is but it’s working for me in this little fantasy for me

and there are plenty of places for catnaps

when it’s time to work, the office is quiet

and each bedroom has a bath

with mixes of old and new elements

when it’s getting toward supper, we’ll gather in the kitchen

and get ready for an outdoor feast

all roads lead outside

to all the little nooks and crannies that beg to be used

dinner will be served on the balcony

and for breakfast we’ll rendezvous in the garden

of course you always need friends to share it with, whether it’s blog buds or virtual kittens! truth is one of this would be ANY fun without you and it is the cherry on the top of my day.

well, enjoy your night, i hope your grind is finished and you get to to enjoy the pastime we all love so much, being here with each other sharing our imaginations and dreams.  bonne nuit!
