for all those who have visited me in my home lately, you already know my dreams...

a patio on the right hand side of the fig tree, with shade under the wisteria and shishkabobs on the fire.

colors of wildflowers in front of a 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 white wooden fence set 18 inches back.

benches under the apricots and pomegranets.

a denim sofa with many blankets. (on the diagonal, over the heater)

black and white check in the kitchen. green on the walls?

some may say home improvement is selfish, wasteful. a voice in my own head might have said that too once. maybe it is. but beauty and taking care of home takes an important place in my life right now. i am enjoying this gift immensely.
