Home Tours, Compassion Quotes & Ridiculous Tweets to Bring Smiles

My day today will be about schlepping, cleanup, and priming trim in the bedroom. The more talented member in the marriage will tackle the electrical as he wires the space above the fireplace for the television in our family room. His work involves opening up a wall, creating another dust storm, more mystery, and mega mess. (The fireplace mantel is presently on the floor with a heap of broken drywall, and things are unlovely.) This is how renovation life goes. One project gets done or almost done (our bath is almost finished!), and then chaos returns. So in this post, I’ll give myself a break while things are in pieces and half done…enjoy!

Home Tours, Compassion Quotes & Ridiculous Tweets

My Favorite Renovators on HGTV

I love them for so many reasons (Ben is so much like our eldest son that I feel I gave birth to him – but feel relieved I didn’t since he was probably a super-sized newborn!). Erin struggles with physical and mental health as I do and has been open up about it in a refreshing way. They simply seem set apart in a league of their own as far as celebrity-land, and then there’s their beautiful work!!! Full of so much talent and goodness, these two!

Do you watch HOMETOWN on HGTV?

For No Good Reason

I had an interesting conversation with someone yesterday about healing right where you are. This person does not believe moving forward is possible without tying up loose ends and full resolution. My perspective is different because my health is fragile, and I think I always feel a sort of desperation and a sense of I just don’t have that kind of time.

And since I don’t know what tomorrow holds, I want to heal in the present in spite of the work and processing of past trauma.

Katie Rosenfeld’s Gorgeous Renovated Wellesley Home Tour

I love this designer so much and would love to be her friend. (Psst. I was offered a scholarship to attend Wellesley but felt anxious about moving that far from home and ended up at Northwestern. Sometimes I wonder about how my life would be different…like a sliding doors type imagining…had I gone to school out east.)
