Eat, Pray, Love



Well today was a productive day in my La La Land studio! I am having a bit of a love fest with my house this summer - we moved here nearly 5 years ago and even on the first viewing with my husband I wrote on the info pages "I love it!". Now it is by no means perfect, finished or dreamy to most - but it is maybe for those very reasons that I love it so much. It is so "us" and it has actually brought us nothing but happiness and watched our family grow from the cat we adopted who lived here before us ..to the puppy..to the bambino! This is the first place my husband and I ever made our roots after such a whirlwind time together. We have finally made a home and when you are in the right place I think it just all seems to happen so easily. A year ago I thought I wasn't enjoying my home...we had some suspect junkie renters move in next door and bit by bit they really changed the atmosphere of our neighbourhood and my love of this house. We had been hunting and hunting for another place, but every viewing I would go on I would see something that didn't fit - find fault in some way and just keep coming home and going - but we have so much here. Soooo finally the renters left (yippee) in June this year - my feelings of relief were not immediate - but bit by bit my frantic house hunting has dwindled and I have begun to feel all that LOVE back for my sweet little home! So here is a picture of some words that are painted in my kitchen - still there from the previous owner - Love, Dream Laugh, Dance!! We are again and we are so happy to have our home back.
