I am back from one marathon weekend! We had Oliver’s piano recital on Friday night and I don’t know what it is about seeing my child play music, but I almost cry every time. I also almost cried watching Harper at her first dance recital. She was so precious! We also celebrated Taylor’s birthday on Saturday night and it was so much fun. All of our favorite elements- good weather, good live music, and most of my favorite people in one place. Sunday we had a completely different set of emotions while attending the funeral for Dobbs and Reed Eddings. It was truly a celebration of their lives and as gut-wrenching as it was it was also really powerful to sit in the presence of their parents and see that they still have hope and were able to sing, smile, and talk about forgiveness. I have never felt the presence of God like that in my life and I know that I will never be the same.
So I was finding it hard to transition from all of those feelings back into blogging so I did what comes naturally- decided to makeover a room in our house. I guess it really is therapy for me so I started brainstorming on a little refresh to our hallway.
I started by trying to find the perfect runner. Our hallway is long and leads from our kitchen to the bathroom so I wanted the colors to flow with the rest of the house. I was torn between wanting an old school oriental feel or something more geometric.
I really love all of those runners but some were not the right size or out of my budget.
I looked again and narrowed down my choices to three. And then I did what comes next…get design paralysis. I begged my family for opinions, sent out an Instagram S.O.S, and then finally hit “order.”
I actually ordered both rugs on the right because I just couldn’t make up my mind. I really need to see them in the space to decide and then I will return the one that doesn’t work.
This is my vision so far…
I am debating painting and I also plan to redo the gallery wall that is currently there.
It is my never ending task to add functional storage to this little bungalow so I am definitely adding hooks.
And greenery…a special little something I ordered online that I can’t wait to share!
So that was my weekend and the resulting therapy 🙂
Stay tuned for more peeks of the hall as I knock this out!

Oh, I like the first two the best 🙂 I feel like I have design paralysis lately too. I have been trying to nail down my wallpaper selection for our dining and I have had samples taped on the wall for a week. Can't wait to see what you do with you hall! xo

It sounds like a wonderful weekend and making over a room is always fun…love your picks, but the first rug is a favorite…can't wait to see what you choose!!
