It's funny how a 'domestic goddess' can come up with so many great decorating ideas while simply doing the dishes!
This very morning whilst standing at the sink, pondering away with my daydreaming fingers moving slowly through warm suds, I hit upon a plan to finally move out of our main bedroom.
You see, there's only two of us now to bed down for the night, and I've always fancied sleeping in the smallest bedroom which nestles in the centre of our home.
In the Summer..it's the coolest.
In the Winter.. it's the warmest.
All year round..it's the quietest as far as hearing street noises goes.
So why not?
Well, I quickly put the idea to the Woodman who (bless his heart) agreed in no time!!
I guess that's the fun of being 'Darby and Joan'..we can play around with our rooms now without worrying about discomforting anyone else :-)
All we need in this cosy room is our bed and two small side tables.
Simple as that!
And a big bonus of changing over, is that I will be able to sit up in bed and watch the sun and the clouds on our mountain from the window of this room :-D
So..my "Hearts For Home" plans for the next week are:
1. Make the bedroom changeover :-)
2. Continue to prepare for my eldest son's visit this month.
3. Keep working in the yard.
4. Enjoy my book study of Fascinating Womanhood which I'm hosting for our Tuesday night ladies meetings.
5. Spend much more time in the Word of God!!
6. Start working on projects to keep me content indoors, as our seasons turn colder in our southern hemisphere!
To join our lovely hostess for this Tuesday homekeeping meme, visit Gae.
You'll always find a warm welcome waiting for you!
Dear Trish,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so delightful. How I would love to be part of your bible study though. Perhaps we could do an online one somehow? Just thoughts!
What is the book you are studying, and by whom?
Enjoy your changes and the change in the weather.
Much love and blessings
Gae
Very nice! Glad it will work so easily to change rooms! Enjoy those sunrises - or is it sunsets? Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi Trish,
ReplyDeleteI admire people who can make a to-do-list, and I say this because I just get so overwhelmed just looking at my own to-do list even if it's all fun, wonderful things. I enjoy reading your list, I feel no pressure :o), only encouragement, so thank you, friend.
I just so love the name of your blog, and your header.
God bless you and your week,
Michele
Hi Gae, the book we are reading is Fascinating Womanhood written by Helen Andelin in the mid 1960's.
ReplyDeleteShe wrote it to teach priciples of femininity which deepen and enhance an already good marriage, and which help an ailing one.
It seems to be still quite popular as a book, and there's also a Fascinating Womanhood Yahoo group you can join.
An online study..could be a good idea :-)
If you google the title or author you find quite a few links, in case you want to check the book out.
http://thefascinatingwoman.blogspot.com/ is just one place that explains what FW is about.
We began reading it last Tuesday night,
so I'm just starting to find out what it's like.
blessings..Trish
Trish- about a year or so ago my husband and I took over the dining room and now it's our bedroom. It has been wonderful. It's your home enjoy it. Making list gets things done for sure. Blessings, Gina
ReplyDeleteTrish , what a great post, your view is awesome ! number 5 is something I need to do also
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure to have the possibility of changing your little sleeping nook :D
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that you ask...most of the time they agree.
How wonderful that you are sharing with ladies what you are learning yourself. I enjoy reading this kind of books...they are a delight! :)
Many blessings dear one,
Mrs. M.
HI Trish...you make me laugh..you are so cute with your Domestic Goddess daydreaming, and putting it into action!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea if you have the space why not, like having a cozy new love nest!! ; }
If I moved mine it would be near the roadside of the house so I guess I'll stay where I am!!
Spring is in full swing here so I'm in the gardens and mowing grass, and doing things that aren't exactly feminine...is there any way to be that way when your changing the oil in the lawn mower ...hahaha!!
Love your post..new header...♥ Grace
Hi Trish,
ReplyDeleteChanging rooms is fun! You can have new curtains,a new colour scheme, new light fittings and a new furniture layout all for the price of some 'elbow grease'. How good is that?
Plus --- if you leave all your clothes in the original bedroom -- you have a dressing room /work room. I would like that.
Have fun . Enjoy no.1 son's visit..
God Bless
