Sometimes I wish I could just turn off my mind and just stop. Stop thinking of new projects to do. Stop thinking of moving things around. Stop wondering if this or that would look better....just stop. But since I can't turn my mind off things are always changing around here and being updated. It's just the way my mind works and I know I'm not alone.
The mirror which I do love has undergone a change plus a few other changes in this room.
This mirror has moved again and has been replaced with something better.
This ottoman was a bit large for this room so it has been moved and replaced with the drum table again for a better fit and I painted it again. For the life of me I can't find a picture of what it looked like before except for when it was the green gray color which was Chateau Gray.
This bench has moved and been replaced with something else.
I've been gathering things for the great room to transition to fall soon. The rug has been switched out and I can't wait to share the new one. I'm ready to swap summer out for fall soon if only it would cool down outside. We'll hang on to summer a few more weeks.
I guess if I could turn off my mind and get it to stop then the blog would stop too.
That would not make me happy!
Stay tuned for all those changes and I'm sure more.
Happy Sunday!

You big tease, you! I am convinced you never sleep, Kim! I am constantly changing things around in my head but I don't always act on them. I guess that's why I love to see your updates so much. Always so inspiring! Enjoy your Sunday!

Shelley, I sleep some. :)
DeleteI know what you mean about trying to turn your mind off. That happens to me when I go to bed:( I lay there thinking of all sorts of stuff:( I hope you keep changing and creating cause it is all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Pinky. That is the worst.
DeleteI have always loved your home! Remember we can do whatever we want and it's never done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, JolieAnne. So true!
DeleteI love seeing the Savvy Southern Style Saga. It makes my day!
ReplyDeleteAwe, thanks, Julie!
DeleteCan't wait to see your "mind boggling" changes....Yes, let me know if you ever figure out how to turn that switch off in your mind....my switch is always on too....Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Don't know about mind boggling!
DeleteEvery change you make I say to myself, "This is my favorite"! Until you change it agin. Beautiful AS ALWAYS, Kim! I love your change-ups! I REALLY missed you at Haven this year!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yvonne. I missed being there!
DeleteHi Kim! I enjoy your changes because they inspire me to look at our home with new eyes. It is fun to take your cue and move things around a bit once in awhile!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan!
DeleteThat's because you are a very creative person. Creative are always thinking and creating new things, moving this g around. It's tge way you are wired and of course we live seeing your changes and wonderful ideas. Perhaps you could start creating and helping others design their space or write a ni e coffee table book? Love seeing all your inspiring changes!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Sandy, no book from this chic, but thanks!
DeleteBoy! My spelling was atrocious!
DeleteI'm glad I am not the only one! I do this with my kitchen cabinets and it drives my family crazy! "Mom, where's the toaster?" "Mom, where are the water glasses?" and on and on! Love your blog! laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, I am sure there are quite a few of us and thanks!
DeleteDear Kim,
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about not being able to stop - that's a blessing, not a curse. If ever the day comes when you're not able to start, that's when to get concerned! So many of us are like you - we love to keep feathering our nests!! It's what keeps us going and brings us joy!
So true and thanks!
DeleteYour busy mind is our gain! We get to see all of the changes without any of the work :-).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny for your sweet words!
DeleteWhen I hop in bed and can't sleep, I redecorate in my head!
ReplyDeleteOh, me, too, Carol, me too!
DeleteBusy decorating minds are a good thing! I look forward to seeing the trouble you've been getting into!
ReplyDeleteNo trouble yet, Miss Becca!!
DeleteLove the blue chest! You are a paint master my dear!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mindy!
DeleteKim, I've said it before, you are an energizer bunny. My mind is often thinking of creating, changing, etc. but getting my body in gear to actually do some of these things is another story.
ReplyDeleteThis afternoon, I'm enjoying reading some blogs, while we have a nice rainfall outside. '-)
Sarah, actually the older I get my energy is slowing way down.
DeleteKim, your changes are always great. I admire all of your energy! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pam!
DeleteSure wish my money flow would run as fast as my brain!!! I always love to see what you have changed up in your home, Kim. You really are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteJane, the day the blog quits making money is the day I'll have to stop changing things. :)
DeleteKim I'm just like you my mind is going all the time. Right now I have the flu and what do I do...not rest....I get up and stain a crate for the kitchen. Now that could surely wait but nope it was on my mind so I had to do it.
ReplyDeleteTake care and rest, Dawn and feel better soon!
DeleteYeah, I sure know that feeling! But Kim, every time you do something, it turns out beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Awe, thanks, Brenda!
DeleteYou inspire me to "shop" my home to change things up! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you get some new ideas here.
DeleteYes..but you are an inspiration to so,many of us because of your never ending ideas for us to interpret in our homes. I am still looking for wall space to do a breadboards display like you have. Ha! Sheila
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sheila!
DeleteWell, I for one hope you never stop! It's fun to see how you re-purpose and re-finish!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy! Of course eventually I will have to.
DeleteHaha! I've always said it's a disease! An inherited one, since my mom and I (and my daughters) all have it. I always love seeing your changes. It's so refreshing! Thanks for all the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I both have it, but not my mom.
DeleteMy husband asked me once if I could just let my mind go blank and
ReplyDeleteenjoy the moment. We were sitting on the front porch of our dream home which sits on the back side of 16 acres looking out over the rolling lawn surrounded by the trees dressed in their fall colors reflected in the water of the lake, blah,blah and so on. I was talking about ways we could landscape around the drive, move some bushes, plant some trees, paint and add some porch furniture.......I WAS enjoying the moment!! I turned to him and said,"Blank? No thinking? Nothing???" Whoever heard of such:/
Oh, I do the same thing all the time and my husband says the same thing.
DeleteWe love that your mind can't stop and I always admire that you have so many new things to show us each week!
