A Few More Peeks {and Some Honesty}

I thought I'd be farther along on the room than I am today.

I hem and haw.

I make up my mind.

I change it again.

And again.

And again.

I put the sideboards of the bed on upside down and
didn't realize it until WELL AFTER I had battled the mattress
and box springs into place.

{More on that later}

LOL!

{Just keeping it real!}

And I lug stuff down out of the attic...

To lug it back up again.

I struggle with layering texture and color, 

knowing I need it to pull off the look I'm trying to achieve, 

but not quite sure how to get there.

This is the part of decorating I wrestle with...

How to get the image in my mind to reality.

I talk about that issue and my other personality flaws, HERE.

I am definitely not one of those bloggers who has all the answers...

Unless you want to talk to me about painting furniture.

;)

I'm just a mom trying to give my daughter 

a beautiful space to call her own.

Nothing has been hung on the wall.

And the linens sit piled on a chair.

I'm patiently waiting to stumble upon the right combination that says,

"This is it!"

You know, the one that makes your soul sigh?

{This is a new thing, for the formerly inpatient me.
I'm actually keeping the promise to myself not to rush!  YAY!}

For now, I'm still arranging, thinking, planning, and deciding.

Hoping the next time I'll get it right.

Have patience with me?

:)
