I don't, however, know the joy of being able to sleep them all, but I'm finding my camper helps alleviate that need.

I am sure your house is a very beautiful home to visit and your friends will be delighted with it.

I think your camper van solution is pretty smart.

We finished DH’s room including the decor. Well, we have to figure out a lamp but otherwise it’s all done. And gosh it’s so cozy and cute.


There’s nothing like fresh paint on brand new woodwork and walls. We replicated the woodwork that was in this house to begin with, although bits are quite a bit nicer than they were in 1941.

I made the window treatments and the two matching bed accoutrements. For those of you who are not up on bed fashion, the latest “dressing “is a lumbar pillow and a blanket thing at the bottom of a bed. The days of lots and lots of pillows on your bed are over, that pillow thing is passé.

The bed was a $50 find on Facebook marketplace. It is perfect, it’s just what I wanted— a traditional bed in small scale, because the room is small.

Very nice, IL. I like the serene color scheme.

What is the blue?

I had a light blue like that in my bedroom once, and while I liked it, it affected my seasonal depression. I want to find a blue like that and go a bit lighter (towards white with a blue tint), with a dark blue or teal base below the chair rail of my dining room. Something to enjoy, without sleeping in it.

The blue color is Sherwin-Williams, “honest blue. “
