Vintage Storage Mixed with a New Kitchen Island

Monday, April 27, 2015

When it comes to decorating, there are no rules at my house. When I got married back in the 80's, people always wanted to know what "my colors" were going to be. Remember that? There was so much pressure to have a theme or color scheme when setting up house. I didn't want to have a mauve and blue house or little geese on everything, but I felt the need to conform. That's what I was supposed to do, right? Well, it never felt like me.

I just like what I like, whether it's in style or not and I'm okay with that. I would rather have an empty spot in my house for a year, while searching for just the right item, instead of getting something just to fill the space. The problem I have now is, I've run out of space!





I recently switched out the old farm table that I've been using as an island and replaced it with a new stainless steel topped island with shelving underneath. The new one is more narrow, which provides more space in the kitchen and adds lots of storage.

A Sunrise

Tuesday, April 14, 2015

I love to watch the sunrise.



It is an act of God, a combination of unmeasurable power, stillness, explosion, calm and peace all wrapped up together. Each one the same as the one before, but different.

On my way to work one day last week, I stopped in the middle of the black top road and took this picture with my phone. I just wanted to share it with you.

Let's take time to enjoy the world around us today.

Here's a Heart Rock for your Pocket:
O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for You. Be our strength every morning. Isaiah 33:2

Wishing you God's best,

Easter = Life & Hope

Friday, April 3, 2015

For the Christian, Easter is the greatest holiday we celebrate all year.

It is a celebration of life and hope!

The life that Jesus offers to us through his death, burial and resurrection and the hope we have in Him.

For Easter, I created this digital art to share with you. Please feel free to pin it, copy it and share it.



Here's a Heart Rock for your Pocket:

If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that your profess your faith and are saved.
Romans 10:9-10

Jesus is Lord!


Wishing you God's best,
Elaine
