Window Wonderfullness!

What an amazing idea! I have always loved the look of pots and pans hanging from the decorative hooks from the ceiling but how much cuter and cheaper would this be. Any old window, any shape, any size, and just add hooks to it, hang it from your ceiling, and decorate as desired.
                                       

This was also an interesting idea............making a coat rack out of an old door... The panels have been cut out and replaced with mirrors, I might even paint with chalkboard paint where they put mirrors....making sure others knew where to put things...wink wink. It also looks like they have added a shelf, but you could  just put the hooks straight on the door.... I love this look.....my ideal dining room table would be an old barn-wood table....or a table made from an old door....rustic and natural. You can do so many things with those kind of tables. Fancy it up or dress it down. Options Options Options!

Just some things I love.....hope someone else finds them just as interesting!
                                                                                                                                                                

There is still hope for next Sunday!

This is where I had hoped to visit Sunday. It is a renovated building that has been made into a Christian Arts theater and Grace Community Church. Joe and I were prepared for warm faces and welcomes but instead the front door was locked. I was so discouraged. Joe almost busted on the ice when he checked the back door......love his heart.......as if we thought they had maybe locked us out or something. Silly me starts wondering if it is a sign that we shouldn't go there and try another but Joe calmly says....God knows we came.....we will try until the door is open. Definitely the right words to tell me. I was getting in my "Debbie Downer" mode. It's silly I know but I feel their are wonderful experiences, relationships, and worship services to experience, but not on that Sunday. I spoke to a neighbor and they said the church usually closes with bad weather so the elderly don't try to make it out in the cold......ahhhh.....I completely see now and it actually makes me feel really good about everything. I know I ramble but this meant a lot to me and anyone who has ever attended a great church knows how it feels to look forward to it week by week. The only difference is I never attended this church but I still looked forward to it. Praying for next Sunday!

I Love it.....I Love it Not......I Love it....I Love it Not.....I Love It?

Joe and I will be trying out a new church tomorrow. I am completely filled with so many different emotions. Excitement, nervousness, wonder, fear, and the list goes on. It is actually an old Victorian style mansion that has been restored and turned into a church and a Christian Arts theater....cool I know:) I could never Not enjoy church....but i hope I am not alone when I say that when you first walk in you should feel a certain peace....a certain "at home" feeling. I am soooo hoping for this "warmth" tomorrow. It is called a church FAMILY for a reason. I do know, however, that if at first you don't succeed....try and try again. So if it is not our favorite "bucket of chicken" then we will try another the next week. I hope we love it!
