Happy Labor Day!

After ripping out Ava’s carpet and painting 100 floor boards, we are in FULL project mode around here.

Hence, our home is working construction zone.

31 Days | Perfectly Imperfect

Hence, the topic of my 31 days series.

If you guys haven’t met The Nester (and who hasn’t?!?), first visit her blog, and then visit this post to see just how cool she is.

Truly, not only do we both embrace imperfections in life and design, I just think she’s exactly the perfectly wacky sort I’d be seen with if she lived down the street.

So, I’ll be joining her this October, writing about beautiful imperfections of all sorts–family, decorating, painting, life.  Those are just kinda my thing, ya know, so I thought writing 31 days in a row (I know, I’m scared!) about this topic didn’t seem quite so daunting.

Until I watched Julie & Julia this weekend.

31 Days | Perfectly Imperfect

I’ll be writing about imperfections like these.

It also occurs to me that so many of us who blog & read blogs get totally sucked into the perfect world of staged pics vs. my life.  It couldn’t be more ridiculous, and yet, we do it all the time.  I can’t tell you how many people, despite my adamant declaration that our home is quite often messy and unorganized, have said to me, “I don’t know how your home is so perfect!”

What?  Huh?  WHO?

Not only will we celebrate life’s imperfections during October, you’ll also get a seriously real glimpse into our lives…a little less staging for the blog’s sake.

You game to stick it out for 31 days with me?
