Here at the Phillips Home, we don’t live to love our house; but rather we love to live in our house! What I mean is we aren’t the kind of people that say let’s wait to invite company over until the house is “done”. We say if you’re coming to visit “us” come on over anytime, but if you’re coming to visit the “house” you may want to call first! I mean, when you’re a busy mom and dad with two kids and two dogs, finding time to start let alone complete any home projects is literally like trying to find a needle in a haystack! Keeping the house “clean” is a project in and of itself.
We don’t stress about it though because we know there’s a time and a place for everything, and eventually it will get “done” maybe! We just do a little here, do a little there, do a little dance, make a little love (oops- sorry I’ve apparently been watching too much Glee, so here I am just breaking out into song), and eventually we’ll cross the home improvement finish line if that line actually exists. We’re not sure that it does; every time we’ve been close to reaching it, we’ve ended up with a sale sign in our yard! We’re pretty sure our moving boat will be docked here for awhile though, and we’re thankful for what our cruising around has taught us. We’ve learned that what really makes a house a home isn’t the time spent decorating; it’s the time spent making memories there with the ones you love.
So while yesterday, I showed you how far our kitchen has come (and it’s still not “done”), here is a little house tour of current unfinished projects (completion date TBA).
Caution: While halloween is approaching, these pictures were not intended to scare anyone.
Yeah. Its Brad. The Hubs. HATE this chair sitting there lonely in the foyer. We will see what she does with it. I can do mission, and obviously modern. I can even stretch to traditional occasionally. But this chair…what is that, Early American? Yikes.
