Morning, Noon and Night

In the beginning of re-imagining our home's main floor plan, 

I had a distinct vision of a den, an office and a bedroom 

instead of the original three bedroom layout. 

Many assumed I meant a den/office sharing one space. 

At NO time did I entertain that thought. 

The den and the office serve two completely different purposes. 

My entire demeanor changes when I exit my home office as compared to when I enter the den.

Welcome to my day:

This is my morning view. 

A cup of coffee at my computer as I gaze at my absolutely awesome library. 

My morning perspective is one of ease and curiosity 

to trigger my imagination and intention for the day. 

This is my work-day.

My office is completely self contained and serves its purpose well.

I love that I can close my door on this room and know that only steps away, 

I can refuel and refresh myself to make the most of my day of work at home.

This is my evening. 

The moment all my daily work commitments have been met, 

I climb into my pajamas and turn on the TV to tune out my thoughts.

My days wind down in the same room they start out in.

Mom's white love seat serves two very important purposes:

1. It is very uncomfortable so I rarely, if ever fall asleep while watching TV

2. It is white so the black cat hair shows up very well. As an added bonus, the fabric does not trap the hair so it is quick and easy to vacuum so the cat hair is tended to very regularly.

The downfall of Mom's love seat is that it does instill the desire to settle in with a good book. 

Thank goodness our living room is more than welcoming

(it is also one of the best spots in our home to visit in).

Our third upstairs bedroom is that, and that alone. 
It is a room of rest, relaxation and sleep.

Of all the rooms in our home, this is quite likely the one I spend most of my time in.

The kitchen gets the least of my time. 

It is a convenient place to make coffee, smoothies and heat up frozen entrées.

It's easier to keep clean that way.

Welcome to my day.

Did I mention just how much I adore our home ...

AND my ability to work out of this slice of heaven?

Dream of the world you want to live in.

Draw it.

Save pictures of how you want to imagine it.

Let your thoughts sink in and settle.

Wait.

Wait some more.

When the time comes, you will know.

Our home is everything I imagined it would be.

And more.

I have a few more spaces to imagine,

so my dreams have not died.

I'm enjoying where I am and will figure out what's next as time goes on.

Some dreams are free.

Others aren't.

For those that come at a cost, 

time spent waiting, wondering, hoping and imagining

is time well spent.

I love living in our home.

Morning, noon and night.
