a little visit...

We've been busy, busy, packing up and moving.  At the moment we are living amongst boxes.  This move has truly been a blessing from start to nearly finished.  Some of you may remember my posts about our small space.  I so treasured our little house,  I'm going to really miss it in many respects.  However, we were beginning to feel on top of one another and were grumpy about it!.  Therefore, when our landlady called to say she had a bigger place open up and would we want it, we jumped!  Here are a few glimpses of our new space. 

 The kitchen started out as my least favorite room. 

Even though I had nil desire to paint, I wanted a brighter space.  So we sprung for a few cans of paint.  The colors had the effect of liquid light!  I'm amazed at how it brightened the space. The tiles which before seemed very dingy, now look bright and cheerful. It's my most favorite room!  I also love that it's separate from the rest of the house.  A little bit of peace and quiet for this Mama.

The two walls around the eating area are orange, a sort of a cream-sickle color. Don't ask me what our fascination is with orange.  It began with my husband's orange paintings and now it knows no bounds.

Also, we'll now have two tables.  So we can eat breakfast in the kitchen, home school in the kitchen and leave the mess if we're still working after lunch.  I've mentioned many times here on the blog how challenging it was to have to clear our lone table for home school, meals and my doll making. This will help so much!  I've also always longed for a formal dining space.  I just posted about that here.  It's funny how things work out. 

I'm feeling truly blessed & so grateful right now.  Spiritually, I've learned so much through this move.  I'm learning to trust the Divine plan for our family, more than my own.  I never would have dared to imagine this space for us. Thank you for coming for a visit today!  

Until next time...
