sneak peek...




as i mentioned in my last post, the wait to find a new place to call home finally paid off!  found this lovely duplex, just a few steps away from grant park, here in atlanta (and the grant park farmer's market and zoo atlanta!)

this past sunday, my wonderful sis and brother-in-law helped me move in... and while i'm still in the midst of mounds of boxes and dust, i thought i would take a bit of a break this morning and snap a few pictures of the progress so far.  mostly of the living room, where i've accomplished the most over the past few days... and, after looking at these images, i feel as if i may have been inspired by the hundreds of times i've read and watched jane austen books and movies ;)  
as soon as i have them framed, i'll have to share the lovely austen inspired prints my sister gave me as a house warming gift

still pouring over paint choices for the rooms... how to find the perfect shade of soft, pale gray?! any recommendations are appreciated

but in the meantime...















just starting on the bedroom and kitchen...





and this room will eventually be the dining room/ studio space... but for now, most of the room (just outside of camera range!) is still piled with boxes...





happy wednesday

listening...




this is what happens when i leave off writing the 'listening' posts for too long... there was just absolutely no way to narrow this list down any further.  so five (yes FIVE) beautiful listens for today 

sitting down for a bit, with coffee in hand, to enjoy the sounds... in an other wise hectic week of stitching and preparing for yet another move (be warned: there may be an excess of decorating posts this autumn as i settle into the new house!)














happy tuesday

i dreamt of a foggy morning. fine art photography print, by joystclaire


"when despair for the world grows in me
and i wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
i go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
i come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief.  i come into the presence of still water.
and i feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light.  for a time
i rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

~  'the peace of wild things', wendell berry
