Its Sunday and we thank God for a beautiful sunny day here in the Mojave Desert...thank you Lord for loving us and taking care of us!

We met with our dear friend and contractor today (over lunch after church) to go over the next projects on the beach house. Some of the projects are: making a very useless "linen closet" (which would not really hold in linens, even the previous owners did not use it for that) into a book case...I love books! Also, re-doing several door trims, adding beadboard to one guest room.

This blog is different from many that are about decorating, etc. in that we are not "DIY'ers"....we can paint though!! DH is handy but there is more work to be done that we have time for and our dear friend/contractor is much faster and is available!! Mind you, its a 3 hour drive from our desert home. So, its a good option for all of us. I do love decorating and know what I like but can't always come up with ideas...that is where other blogs have helped me tremendously!! We want our new "beach house" to be "ours"...a reflection of us...., a fun place for friends to come vist and feel comfortable...and a house that truly is a "HOME".

We hope you stay tuned to see our adventure unfold....
