Lilac Window

we’re back.

You may have wondered what happened to us. We were driving the past two days, and before that the internet connection failed us. So I wrote the posts and put them up today. I figure I can do that, I mean, your not paying THAT much attention…are you?

We drove all the way from Chilliwack to Calgary yesterday. We arrived really late at night. We are tired. We re-arranged the furniture. We have yet to unpack.

On the drive we stopped at the enchanted forest. It was something the husband had driven by a thousand times as a kid, but never got to go in. So we made a point of it. I actually had a great time checking out the little buildings. I found as many – or more little projects that were so sweet and interesting, I should have been taking notes. The green-roofed brick building from the three little pigs may have been my favorite, but the Swiss Family Robinson style tree house was great too. Wood, used in its natural shape was used for furniture, doors, stairs, railings. It was lovely. You never know where inspiration will hit!

so. upon arriving home.

I think re-arranging the furniture is very important upon returning home from such a momentous trip. It signals a change. That we have learned new things, and that we are ready to live in a new way. 

The whole second half of the trip I was dreaming about changing the furniture around, making light shades, curtains, futon covers. We got so inspired by all the amazing spaces we were in, we wanted to bring some of that home with us. So there it is. Our dining room table has been moved to the living room, and the futon is in the eating nook.

A little different? rebellious? fun? exciting? lots of sticky rice in the rug? yeah. its going to be great.
