Your home looks beautiful. I am loving the day bed in your reading room! The room looks like such a retreat and a cozy space.

I tried to enjoy the still of the morning but then my mind drifted to our project and excitement filled my soul. I jumped out of bed and headed to Lowes and before I knew it Marc was sharing my excitement. I love that we have husbands that love us enough to share in things that make us "happy". I dont think we could do half of what we do without their support and helping hands. Let's just say we are off to a good start and I cant wait to share more soon. ~Susie from Bienvenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428674663127912455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-26473141775429778412009-10-04T10:12:36.517-05:002009-10-04T10:12:36.517-05:00You look so very much like your mother!

Virginia Woolf so aptly talked about having "a room of one's own." Whether it is your own or shared, it is a space where you find great pleasure in just being there.

You are thoughtful and enthusiastic, creative and wise.<br /> <br />You are absolutely gorgeous on the outside as well. You look SO much like your beautiful mother.<br /><br />I love this reading room idea. I am a busy mother of two children who has no room of my own and feel like I'm always picking up. The other day I thought, "Self, why not take the guest room as your sanctuary? It's peaceful there."<br /><br />I'm not settled in yet, but I love the serenity in that room. <br /><br />Your reading room reminded me of having a place of one's own... to reflect and renew.<br /><br />EmilyEmily Dykstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428758162863504633noreply@blogger.com
