"Firmly planted bearing fruit"
This is one special little corner. It’s probably one of my favorite spots in my house. It’s undergone a little facelift lately. A new color on the walls, a new lamp, a new(old) table. All just things that help make this corner cozy and comfortable. But that’s not what makes it special. The book on the table next to the chair and the moments spent reading it are what make it special! I love waking up early, pouring a hot, flavored cup of coffee, and curling up in this chair with my Bible. The things I’ve learned and the many ways I’ve been comforted, challenged, and changed are too many to count!
I can finally show you this fun project of refinishing these old theater seats! May was such a busy month and I am finally getting some time to sit down and catch my breath! I ended up taking off one of the seats and only using two. It just worked better for this space. I painted them to give them the old, stained look. I love how they turned out! I will have a full blog post on the process and the products! Be sure to visit the website! The link is in my profile.
MONDAY MOTIVATION "Where are the Instructions?"
Have you ever tried to play a game without reading the rules or instructions before you start? What about that Christmas present for your child that you are putting together at midnight on Christmas Eve? It has 1,000 pieces and you don’t have the instructions. Can you imagine trying to get it put together correctly?
Without the instructions or rules we end up with a mess on our hands. It’s the same way in life. We need something to guide us. I don't know about you, but I need instructions to get through this life! You know for things like parenting, marriage, friendship, work, all the things!

Sundays around the table are one of the many blessings that our family has shared through the years. Whether at home or at our local favorite restaurant, gathering together after Sunday worship has always been something special.
Life lessons, love, and more laughter than I could ever measure frame these moments for our family. But one of the sweetest blessings of these times is always making room at the table for others. Join me on this week's Sundays Around The Table as we talk about Making Room At The Table.

The vintage industrial style provides a great rough, farmhouse style for your home or office. I have purchased some new reproduction furniture, but I've always hoped to buy one of these authentic vintage industrial carts. I was finally able to snag one of these at the flea market in Round Top and I am over the moon with how it turned out!
