A change of heart.

Fall has arrived here at the lake.

With the change of seasons, comes a change in my heart.

I have accepted the fact that we will be living in our romantic cottage for another Winter.

Instead of feeling sad, and depressed....I'm actually experiencing a sense of joy.

Something I haven't felt for quite a while.

Since the house has not sold...we will change the things we have put off doing for so long around here.

I'm starting out slow, and simple.

The first thing I did was change two chairs in the living room.

They are just extras....but what a difference they make!!!

My youngest daughter uses these chairs in her dining room, and they look wonderful!

I chose them for my shabby chic living room, and love them just as much in there for extra seating.

The next thing on our list of "to do's" is the driveway.

That's going to be a "biggie" for us.

In a recent comment to my post on taking the house off the market, a sweet blogger said something about falling in love with our cottage all over again.

I feel like that's what is happening....God is keeping us here for a reason.

I might as well enjoy being here, on the water(where I've always wanted to live), while I am here...right?

This place might not be the most beautiful house on the lake, or even in the neighborhood....but it's the place I can decorate the way I want to make it feel like home.
For me...that's what it's all about.....it feels like home.
