Its so beautiful out, what am I doing inside? School is officially out in our village, so I once again have a basement full of boys. Fed them hotdogs and watermelon so they are happy. I'm going to have to get used to flying solo. At least the boys are still sharing their mornings with me.
I made chocolate covered strawberries after deciding the berries were too big. I broke down and bought California strawberries at the store, but truthfully, I like the local smaller berries we should be able to pick in a few days. The tiny ones taste better to me. When I see a humongous berry, I naturally think it needs chocolate. I'll serve them to my homeschool posse moms tomorrow.
I'm taking baby steps to making over my bedroom. My original goal was to prime and paint this coming weekend, but I'm discovering there is just way too much junk to move first. I want a true love nest to share with my husband.
Yesterday we moved book shelves, including all the books stacked on them, from our bedroom. DH found room for them alongside the treadmill in the Mancave. My first reaction upon seeing the empty space in our bedroom- HEY! We could buy more book shelves to fit there! No, no, no, Dawn. You are building a Love Nest, not a library.
I'm trying to take inspiration from the forest, but choosing paint colors is difficult. I want it earthy, but not too brown, not too dark. I should just go for it and remember its only paint.
Well, I better get back on task. Hope you're enjoying your week!

Having a love nest is a great thing. :o) It's easy to let other things creep into our space. The main bedroom should be a place easy to relax in. :o) I like earthy colors too. Our room is almost the shade of taupe. It's a relaxing color for me. :o) I hope you get your room done soon! :o) I still have a bathroom that needs painting, but I haven't done it yet..............
The strawberries look DELISH!
Mmmm chocolate + strawberries.
I love earthy colors too. It's only paint. If you don't like it just paint over it. ;)
Strawberries look so yummy but I agree, the local farm grown ones are so much more tasty
Good luck choosing paint colors. As far as nature, do you have a favorite flower - maybe that would inspire a paint color or their are so many shades of green that look nice in a bedroom
