One thing I have been struggling with since moving into our farmhouse this past June is not having one room that is even nearly finished. On one hand I don’t want to rush anything & I want to really enjoy the process of it all since we hope to live in this farmhouse for the rest of our lives. On the other hand, I want to have one space I can escape to in those frustrating moments. I am a creature of my surroundings. My surroundings often dictate my mood & that has had to change since living in a home with holes in the floors.  I’m really starting to bask in the progress & not just the “afters” which has been a cool transformation in myself, but the one thing that cheers me up when the whole house is torn up & under construction is pretty little corners in our house so I wanted to share one with you today that is in our front living room…

The floors aren’t finished in this room & one half is still torn up by the fireplace, BUT this little corner is so happy & sunny. I’ve decorated it with a collection of my favorite things from this antique dress form, some chippy white shutters, a lead glass window, a white chippy cabinet that holds some of my green book collection & clocks, & of course my antique typewriter that I love so dearly. I’m a collector of all things so having cabinets & little corners like this to display things is a dream come true. I know the “trend” is more clean & modern, but my heart is always going to stray to chippy &

So this is the beginning of the front living room getting decorated. I like the path we are on so far! I guess if I were to give some advice today to those who are re-doing spaces in your home.. decorate little corners int he process or a little space while the renovations are going on. It’s almost like a corner filled with hope for what’s to come in your home. Thank you guys so much for stopping by the blog today to see this happy little corner in our home. I will be back with another lovely corner in our fixer upper this week so stay tuned. I hope you guys are having a great week! I’m here in Waco with Kilz checking out the silos, be sure to follow me on Facebook & Instagram for all the behind the scenes while I’m here. xx
