The Good Guide: Friday Five

Well it’s the Friday Good Guide time & there is no going back now. The wallpaper & paint have been ordered for the entry way and I may be a tad bit excited to see major progress soon. You may not realize but this entry project started back in November 😳, so to say I am ready to have it complete is an understatement. Now don’t get me wrong, projects take T I M E- for us!! Expected, and sometimes unexpected, because life does that.

But I truly believe that intentional, purposeful & functional design, takes time! I could hurry and pump out project after project but this would be at the sake of my sanity, my joy, my first calling for my family or just to have a rushed reveal. And that just won’t happen! You can’t create spaces filled with joy, if they were made with frustration, hurry & a rushed mindset. So, if you missed it, here is a little sneaky peaky of the wallpaper and paint colors!

I cannot get over this wallpaper 😍

2. account i’m loving

If I haven’t made it clear by now, here is my announcement that James Clear is and for the foreseeable future, one of my new favorite accounts. He is the author of the book Atomic Habits (by the way if you haven’t read it, you need to put it at the top of your list) and his weekly newsletter 3-2-1 is by far one newsletter I never skip over!
