My Bedroom

 

This is what our bedroom looked like the week we moved in.

The walls were a dark green

  

Yep, the first thing we painted in the house

'

 The color we choose was Comfort Grey by Sherwin Williams

I love the color but have been struggling as to how to decorate around the room.

They say you should pick out your bedding or rug first but no I wanted this cool, calming color!

 So I got a white quilt, made some accent pillows and Made a dust ruffle to match!

 I Have changed all the hardware on the dressers , since most of them had fallen off or broken.

Pretty exciting to get to use the power tools and do it myself!

I felt like a big girl

Would still love to paint this furniture but I haven't been able to talk my husband in to it yet....

 I painted my bathroom a half shade lighter

 And now comes the questions....

I found this bedspread at Home Goods and thought the colors would match

 

My husband likes the full bedspread but I think I would need to make or buy another bedskirt

I'm not so sure I like it ?

 

 I think this is my favorite look, 

a little of both!

 What do you think?

Word of the Year

On December 29th our cousins from Alaska were here for a visit.

 We talked about picking a word to guide our year,

 I had already been thinking about it from reading all the blogs.

 It was a great way to get everyone talking and find out where they were at. 

I picked "Gentle".

Actually Denae suggested it and I thought it was perfect.

So I have made it a goal of mine for 2013.

To be gentle with my words, in the way i deal with others

I am so excited that I am starting a mentoring relationship

with a much younger lady and I want to be Gentle in the way I care for her heart.

Gentle with my husband....

Gentle with my girls....

Gentle with my patients....

Gentle is a fruit of the spirit and I want to embrace this as a goal for the year.
