My living room is my favorite spot-

For years, I've had a wooden bookcase in one corner-

It's been fine and I've tried many vignettes

to add warmth to the space-

I even attempted a big makeover with mirrors at one point-

a little reflection never hurt anyone!

But, the time has come to say goodbye bookcase-

Yesterday, we moved a small china cabinet from

my mom's house into the space-

It's got a light and no china will grace it's shelves-

Of course, I have already set it up-

what's a girl to do with a "new" piece of furniture!

Make it feel welcome of course-

I may change it up down the road-

a little paint never hurt anything, right?

But, for now, it sits proudly in a coveted spot-

all I can think of is my mom when I look at it-

she didn't love it but it worked in her home for 45 years-

so, it will now work in mine!

Over the next few weeks I will be adding more of "mom's things" to our home- little pieces that warm my heart and remind me of her beauty and spirit-

It's all about the sentiment...

Take care, gotta fly-

Bless My Nest
