Good Morning

When I first noticed that our house plan called for a french door going from the master bedroom out to the back porch... it caused me to pause.  Not sure I wanted a door right there.  We are porch people.  It is the first place we each go in the mornings.  Did I want that access/view right into out master?

So glad I just hushed and went with it.

While I still dream and hope for the day when we will actually have window treatments, snicker (none of our windows are standard sizes therefore requiring custom window coverings, chaching!!!)... until then I love waking up first thing in the morning to this view.

This morning's sights and sounds... birds galore, clucking chickens, donkeys making a ruckus, the ping of Ty's bat as he must me in the backyard practicing his batting, Cooper pacing the back porch waiting for breakfast, and Savannah sitting on the back steps with a kitten.

I will forever be thankful that I went with Walnut wood floors too.  I just can't get enough of the color variation they offer.  It has been so fun mixing wood tones in this house, clear from the dark espressos of this dough bowl to the bleached out tones of this amazing leaning mirror.  Again, I almost let some little fears... concerns of the banding in Walnut being too 'busy' and zebra-ish, scare me away!  So glad I took the leap.

Hope your morning is wonderful.  After the rain last night, it looks like today is going to be a beautiful, clean day!!
