What?
Thistlekeeping on a Monday.
Say it isn’t so.
What is this world coming to?
Next thing you know we will all be painting our upholstered furniture and making pillows out of flour sacks and covering our walls with pallets. 🙂
I’ve been traveling and couldn’t get the post out on Saturday, so I thought it might make a Monday a little brighter.
Mondays can be tough.
So here’s a little bit of sunshine for today.
I never really thought of house goals for my home.
And I’m starting with my master bath.
Sunshine, check.
Tulips, check.
Farmhouse, check.
This house tour made me smile. Â You can see the entire house tour here.
