Dreamy Master Bedroom...

It's finished! The master bedroom is repainted and staged for our Saturday open house.

I love the new color. It's soft, bright and perfect for a master suite retreat.

Although Handsome and I loved the sunny yellow that was there before, we

agreed that the new color will appeal to more prospective buyers for our property.

In case you're wondering, this is the color we chose for our master bedroom. It

happens to be one of Joanna Gaines go-to colors on her HGTV program, Fixer Upper.

Here's another image that I found by doing a web search of the color.

It's interesting how it shifts a little between blue-tint and green-tint.

What do you think? Improvement?

I'm not finished yet. I have a few boxes to pack and take to storage, along with a few

that have to go to Suncoast Resale Shop (benefiting the Suncoast Humane Society).

I'd better get back to it. (Don't worry. I stop for a little "me" time along the way, too.)

A Little Less Bookish...

I love books. I love magazines. I love patterns. I love crafts. I also like any combination of the above. Because of that, I have too many books, magazines and patterns.

I have books in shelves, on table tops, in baskets, in tote bags. They're everywhere. Did I say, "I have too much many?"

It's time to put this assortment to good use. Now that I've sorted all of these out of my still immense collection, I'll be taking them over to the Suncoast Humane Society. They have a resale shop that raises proceeds to support their shelter facility. It's a worthy cause and I feel like I'm doing some really good when I donate items there.
 

The Suncoast Humane Society shelter is located in Englewood, Florida, but they have resale shops in Venice and Port Charlotte. I'll be taking these to Port Charlotte. It's the closest to home.
 

Some lucky crafters will get great deals; we'll get deductions on our tax return; and best of all, shelter pets will reap the benefits in food, medicine and other comforts during their stay. Everybody wins.

Tag can't wait to visit with you tomorrow. He wants to tell you about this very, very special week!
