~Dark Doors Suit Me~
I hesitate to post stuff about stuff. After all, it’s only stuff.
It doesn’t make you happy.
Unless you make a conscious decision, there’s always more to get.
Someone else always has more or less of it.
Kids tend to mess it up.
It can be taken from you in an instant.
You can’t take it with you when you go.
It doesn’t amount to a hill of beans really.
I would rather look at this all day long:
Or this…..
That being said, I think its not a bad thing to enjoy what you have. If you are honest with what you can afford and look for creative ways to enhance your living space, that’s a good thing. Contentment is an issue I revisit frequently. It’s a decision. In fact, I should post a shot of my bathrooms. I think I will! Hold on…I’m going to grab my camera!……be right back….
I know your green with envy over my blingy wall paper, considering how shiny it is and all.
I’ve heard it’s coming back but I’m not buying it. The bathroom on the right is high on my list of things that have to go. asap. In the mean time, I’ve learned that it’s okay to have things far less than perfect. My kids couldn’t care less if I’m happy with my wallpaper.Paint is pretty cheap, thus the painted doors. It completely changes the look of the entire room. 3 almost done, 7+ to go.
I posted the girls rooms a while ago so it’s Jake’s turn. Thank goodness for Target bedding and curtains, Big Lot’s curtain rod, a friend who can paint on canvas, and for old furniture that looks a lot better with a fresh coat of paint!
I could have a globe or map on every wall and it wouldn’t bother me one bit.

Love the room! We are also in a remodeling, re-decor stage. Sometimes, you just need to make your home your own. I really haven’t done that since moving into this house five years ago and now I want it to be more “me”
I have been going back and forth the past three weeks, deciding if I should paint my doors dark or not. You have just confirmed my decision! I love the way they look. Thanks for posting about “stuff”! Your house is very pretty. I should post a picture of my bathroom, the wallpaper is much worse than yours! (which, yours doesn’t look so bad! =)) Our kids used to be afraid to brush their teeth because the wallpaper looked scary to them. We’ve been lazy and haven’t gotten around to taking it down yet, but are planning to soon.
Well, now I’ve just commented on stuff! You are right, none of it matters, none of it will matter for eternity, and it’s not what matters in life. Learning to be content is hard, but I like how you said it’s a decision, how true that is! Hope you have a great day! =)
The dark doors look great! Your son’s room too. I agree that our stuff should not be the focus. I am all for making things attractive within your means…as we have seen the beauty God creates around us.
The beauty of those kids faces sure beats out any wall or door though
I could have a globe or map on every wall!!!
Let’s see ( counting inside my head…) I think that we have five hanging up right now.
I know what you mean about stuff. And glad that you posted those thoughts about it, as well as pictures of it!
Your house is so pretty and I love your dark doors!!! Jake’s room is cool too! I love the tweak that paint can give!
You did a great job!
Speaking of wallpaper, I have some that makes me shudder…funny thing, some of it I loved, like a decade ago!
love.
so cool~ all of it! love your style.
Waooow!!! Really very cool site of blogs. You can imagine what you have done for me.
