I mean seriously. It's Wednesday people!

It's cute, and sweet, but lets be honest.  Your house doesn't really look like that and neither does mine.

Well yes.  On occasion, like when I'm off from work for a week, my kids are with the grandparents and I've already had 2 days of sleep, then yes.  I'll really clean.  And we all know that it feels AMAZING.  

I have this board on pinterest called "It's a mood" which are pictures of things that invoke that feeling of joy.  So this. This is what I want my house to look like.





But for some strange reason I can't get the white walls in my rental with brown carpet to look this way.  Hmmm?

Back to the point.  When you've finally finished doing all the things that you haven't done in weeks....ahem...months.  

I mean really.  When was the last time you dusted? Really!?!?!

Rosemary (my mother, not her name, but it's what we call her on occasion in our house. See: Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls) has built an empire on cleaning, and homes, and beautiful furniture.  She taught me everything I know, and is great at it, but I can't seem to get it together.  You know why? Oh, because NO ONE CAN.  I mean sure, some people can. But not this girl.  Not yet!  And so, for your viewing pleasure I present to you.  My Wednesday House.  ENJOY!!


 


If this doesn't drive you nuts like it does me....please tell me how you do it!


We make our bed every day.  I mean, every day when someone comes over.

 


No.  That isn't a bag of trash that's needed to go out for 4 days.

Spare rooms are for leftover clean laundry, right?

  
Yes. That is our shower....be jealous.


And this.  This is the environment in which I most experience zen.  Well...when the lights are out and I can't see anything.
