Yeah, I am real decisive! Always great to see Tucker and how nice to have some new dogs in the family too!

And I love your "Le Lapin" chalkboard (pinned it). I prefer the fur on your antlers to fabric. I just bought a set and the skull is bare bone--still trying to decide how to handle that! I think the bees look great :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693740448978729377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357970116996873579.post-50222615639393123972016-03-01T18:23:23.016-07:002016-03-01T18:23:23.016-07:00I'm with you - those are colors, too!

I love all your chalkboard art and that pillow is wonderful.<br /><br />Good for you for doing the Whole 30. I have read a lot of bloggers that have had great success on it. I thought about doing it myself, but having to go gluten free because of Celiac Disease several years ago makes me feel like I've given up enough! Good luck to you and your hubby though! : )Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357970116996873579.post-8092060643025593772016-03-01T15:41:06.787-07:002016-03-01T15:41:06.787-07:00I always love to visit your house!

Sorry I didn't say anything about the bee art, I literally didn't even see it last time!! I do like it though! I wonder if you choose to not have color in your living areas now since you used to have really bright furniture (the red couch, multi colored wing chairs, blue sectional) you probably got sick of it!

I find my tastes are changing too. I like color but I'm slowly changing to a more neutral palette. It just feels calmer. I enjoyed catching up with you. Tucker's white eyebrow hair is adorable. How nice he's still active and happy! I need to work on cleaning up my diet. Just need to jump in, I guess.<br />Have a wonderful week!<br />CeciliaCeciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444791923510261610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357970116996873579.post-90962567898356796182016-03-01T06:34:38.382-07:002016-03-01T06:34:38.382-07:00I think your home is perfectly lovely.

It helped me realize what sparked joy for me in my home and which things were duds. Like you, I am favoring a simpler, more neutral style lately, and I find it so relaxing! I have PLENTY of color in my classroom during the day, so I like to come home to a quiet, serene environment to relax and unwind. You have such a beautiful decorating style and I am always so inspired when I visit your blog.
