OLDIE BUT A GOODIE – 2005

I was looking for a saved document this morning,
and instead I stumbled upon
photos of our house in 2005.
COLOR was in full force.
I still ache when I see how much the kids have grown. But it makes me happy
that unlike me, who moved so often , the kids rooms have been their sanctuaries
since they were tiny and crept into our bed at night.
I thought I would share some of this HIP color
with you on this DREARY winter day.
It still holds its own.
And while I dialed back the WALL color a few years ago,
to make way for the color in all of my ART,
 I still adore it and would not have changed a thing. It was a VERY happy time.

I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO go back and look at old pictures of your family…in your house…see how it has changed, stayed the same, grown with you or how you have out grown it.
Or if it has changed it all.

  1. Funny how tastes change. I had some serious floral sofa/chair happening back in 2004. Back when I had my first child. Now I have four – and we’ve moved the brown microfiber sofa of newborn/toddler/preschool days to the playroom. Trying to be grown ups 🙂
