Our den is slowly but surely coming along.
I envisioned in my mind how I wanted it to look
and I really think it's getting there!
If you are a minimalist, this look is NOT for you.
I love the collected look.
Shelves filled with sweet treasures to enjoy.
Not tucked away in a drawer or box.
I special ordered two shades for the huge French doors
that are in our den.
I wanted something natural looking so
I went with bamboo!
They arrived today and my dad got busy
installing them.
I'M IN LOVE!!!
They may seem dark but with this blistering,
middle Georgia heat, we needed them.
The look is exactly what I wanted!!!
For those who love bright and white,
this is the polar opposite.
This is not a sponsored post (I wish it was!)
but I found them on Blinds dot com and ordered
2 woven bamboo shades in Hatteras Cocoa.
No cords either! Just lift up or pull down.
It takes a few weeks as them make them to order
but they are certainly worth the wait!!

Here are a few more photos of our small but cozy den.
I'm finally getting things up on the walls!
Yes, I still have more to hang but there's more
empty walls in the house thank goodness!
I'm thankful for the good days.
When my mind is distracted from grief.
I know my sweet mama
sees our improvements and is smiling!!
Thank you always for visiting me,
Hugs and love always,
Dawn

Dawn - so homey! And I have the very same Samsonite beige train case!! Sending hugs! ❤️
Love the cozy look. I tend toward that as well. I no sooner find a home for something, thinking I need less, not more. When lo and behold, I find something else that needs a home.

I absolutely love this room! I long for all that room to put out my gee-gaws.
Those vintage landscapes on the wall are what I have been looking for on eBay. I could stay all day in this room!
Dear Dawn:
Isn't it wonderful when it begins to really feel like "home"? I can see how much work you're doing, and I ache right along with you. Same for missing your Mama. Dad's been gone a year today. I cried writing my blog post for today, and was in tears a couple times during the day. I miss him, but I, too, kept busy today, so I was only caught off-guard a couple times. That's when the tears flowed. (Of course, I'm tearing up again just writing this note to you.)
Happy Independence Day, dear friend.
My heart is with you.
xoxo
Donna
