Feels so good to finally be adding finishing touches to our primary bath, and I’ll share the before/after soon. Today I’ll be painting trim as we address the sunny sitting room in our bedroom. Thank goodness the almost spring sunnier skies are energizing these old bones. (But just a reminder if you don’t feel energized, it’s okay to do take baby steps and accomplish a little at a time…the little bursts will add up!). Hello Lovely Not to Be Missed Inspiration recaps stories you’ll want to explore for ideas as well as poignant, silly, and ridiculous quotes!
