Painted Canvas

As of Friday, the transformation of my dining room-turned-piano room is virtually complete.

In August, I emptied the dining room of furniture and the room became a blank canvas on which to create the room I'd envisioned.

Redecorating this room was not a chore for me. Indeed, it brought me great satisfaction. It's emotionally cathartic to effect a physical change in the environment. And it provided a creative outlet.

This style of the furnishings in this room may not suit my friends, my family, or strangers. But it suits me. And my family seems to like it, too. So it works for us.

Just one more thing to be thankful for this season.
