consider this - ever take a road-trip to a new destination? you have amazing directions from someone's uncle's cousin - staking claim on the simplest, most efficient route - no chance of an unwanted detour. your water bottle is packed along with a well-prescribed, nutrition bar (which you will later find squashed under a bag of the fastest food ever made). while in the parking lot of the fastest food ever made joint, your inner voice repeats - "just this once, never again". suddenly, panic strikes... on about page 17 of your directions (would've been 16 but you used that to wipe the grease off your chin) - you realize, you made a wrong turn! sheer terror. do you keep driving? turn back?
in fact, maybe not a wrong turn - just not your original destination. then - inspiration strikes - maybe this detour was meant to be. that, my friends, is the beginning of your story. it's up to you as to how it continues.
I invite you to look at your house that way - simply - there are no mistakes. sure - you can hem the curtains too short or leave the iron on too long - and they'll be plenty of times when the destination changes, but as long as you live in colors you love - your house becomes your home.
by all means - enjoy our fabulous finds!
