I took a day off today. No special reason. I really just needed a day to chill out and mentally regroup. I woke up and was able to make breakfast for Sophie, saw her out the door to school and then crawled back into my bed with a cup of coffee. It was nice to just lay there and listen to the birds outside. It was a beautiful morning! Also, I was able to go up to one of the high schools in Plano and have lunch with 2 of my amazing girls! I saw 4 other students and 1 former student that I still try to keep in touch with too so that was really cool 
actually made my day! I love spending time with them!!
Then, I came home and painted the wood above my fireplace. I am not happy with how I styled the mantle but I will play with that later. I think maybe my mirror is too low? I read one time that you should angle them down a little so maybe that is it. I was trying to hang it to reflect the natural light from the french doors in the dining room but it is catching the lights from my ceiling fan instead. Oops.
Before - when we first moved in
Don’t mind the lovely styling of this particular picture. The furniture wasn’t in yet and it was the week before Christmas. While I was busy cleaning and getting the house ready, Sophie and Taylor (a student/friend ) decorated our tree and Barb was painting the bathroom. Fun night!!
- After – a fresh coat of paint
Maybe there is just too much stuff to look at on the mantle. Hmm. I’ll play with it this weekend. So hard to choose what to put up there. I don’t want all the clutter. Just because there is a huge mantle doesn’t mean I need to use it all!
