Hope this finds out well on this August weekend. So its official, I saw back to school supplies and mums at my market. In the eyes of retailers,\u00a0 summer is well over. Not to me, going to try and savor these last few weeks as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>We have had a pretty mild summer weather wise and I am not complaining one bit. But its frightening and heartbreaking to see the outbreak of the devastating fires from Greece and Turkey to California and Montana. Really pray for those in the fires path. We are no contest to nature, the wrath can be fierce. I hope they are all under control soon but seeing those images and videos is jarring.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s move along to my post for this Sunday, hope you enjoy it&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>_________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1 HELP US FINISH THIS POWDER ROOM!\u00a0<\/strong> I love doing edesign and get such satisfaction out of it but it has taken up too much of my time and I felt like I was spreading myself too thin. Sometimes it is<em> really<\/em> hard to say no to things\u00a0 that you really love to do, but you also need to. know when you must step away from too full of a plate. And that&#8217;s what I am doing (at least for now)<\/p>\n<p>I finished up 2 jobs and my last remaining small job for was for 3 bathrooms (flooring, hardware, mirrors and wallpaper). Finished two and now we are finishing up the powder room. Below is a concept board for a small jewel like powder room.<\/p>\n<p>I came up with a bunch of wallpaper ideas and she narrowed it down to this beautiful wallpaper from Sherle Wagner. She likes all the floors shown and is torn as to which to choose.\u00a0 I was too but now think I have a favorite. Thought it would be fun to see which is <em>your<\/em> favorite.

EXPERIMENT <\/strong>When we did a photo shoot 2 weeks ago, we bought a bunch of white flowers for it. You know me and I love to maximize my flowers to the very last nanosecond of their lives!<\/p>\n<p>So I did a little experiment, i put them in the garage refrigerator and wanted to see how long I could get htem to last. Well here is what they looked like day 13. Quite remarkable! I would say 90% of them looks amazing, given they were 2 weeks old.<\/p>\n<p>I was able to make some new arrangements and loved being able to repurposed them when we have guests over! Now I get why a florist can keep flowers for so long:)<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full

We look back on this last year and a half (still can&#8217;t believe its been that long)! there is no doubt that I personally saw some silver linings, a lot more time with my family, was given time to refocus on things that I realized were really important.<\/p>\n<p>It gave me time to pause to enjoy some of the simple things that I enjoy doing but do not carve out enough time for. There are many things that came out of it and I was having this discussion with 2 friends, two of us said yes, it was worth it but the other vehemently said no.
