"Please Enjoy the Music..........

while you are placed on hold."  Ugh!!  

Or, how about some "elevator music" to ease the uncomfortable silence?  However, in this case, I'll be posting random thoughts and images, to end the days of non-posting, while waiting for the home renovation to be complete! 

I've decided to end the "on hold", "stand by", or "uncomfortable silence"! 

 Man, this renovation,  is just taking way too long!

This is an inspiration collage.  

(Remember, you have to pretend 

this is "elevator" or "on-hold" music.)

Ok... the next few images 

are not nearly not even close to being as pretty, 

or inspirational, as the previous collage.

But, they are more closely related 

to the irritating "elevator/on-hold" music.

This is an original built-in cabinet, with copper wire panels, in the kitchen. 

I replaced the Formica counter top with marble.

This is the original den/family room.  

This is the original office.

Although this is just a peek at the renovation, it's no secret.......everything is getting a fresh coat of white paint. White is my canvas. Not to mention, I love white!

Thank you to all my lovely friends who have been patiently waiting for me to return with some amazing "After" photos.  At this point, it may be Christmas 2013! xo

Why White?

I love white. 

I love crisp white shirts. 

I love classic white t-shirts.

 I love white dresses. I love white houses. 

I love white decor, and more.

According to Pantone Inc., 

white

is the best selling color 

for the classic american t-shirt.

And,

More shades of white 
are available commercially 
than any other color.


White projects purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. 

Doctors don white coats, 

brides traditionally wear white gowns,

 and a white picket fence surrounds a safe and happy home.

White affects us mentally and physically.

 * aids mental clarity 

* encourages us to clear clutter or obstacles 

* evokes purification of thoughts or actions

 * enables fresh beginnings (via here)
