Well, it's about time I broke the news....
I have posted so many pictures of this wonderful house over the last year and it now belongs to a new family
This was a hard decision for my husband and I.... but one that will bring new challenges and new beginnings
I sold it completely furnished, collections and antiques included....I know, I know
That was the hardest part for me...the letting go of the many things I have found in antique malls and flea markets
and have lovingly placed on shelves and tables
I never really wanted to sell everything, but it just seemed like most everything belonged here....
For those of you who are new to the Polished Pebble Blog...many of the things I do are one of a kind and funny quirky sort of design ideas and they just belong in the homes they are placed in...
I like to find a common ground with things I use... to inspire everyone...
I want you to say "I can use that in my own house" and maybe help to jump start a new project with just a little pillow fabric...
or a simple pot of flowers...that is what unique ideas can do...
So what is next for me? Lots of things....
We will spend more time in Ojai and plan on starting a new search for a great little house that we might just end up in until....well whenever
I have loved the process of finding and decorating....and collecting
The dishes came with me.... but not the great cabinet
...but I did manage to sneak out my chickens
The bread box is now filled with orchids of another color....not mine
I sold most of the art work, including the wonderful oil by Jean Jack...but I called her and she has another she knows I will love
And yes Mr Grainy and I are no long an item....but a love like ours may never really be over
The view I enjoyed will be a bit different now...
And the movie watching will be on another fluffy couch...
But life is full of things that change....
A friend told me yesterday.... when one door closes anther one opens
...and I think that is very true
So here's to the future and the opening of new doors
gosh I love that sink...is it bad to love a sink?
Sleep tight my little house...and to all of my wonderful blogger friends
my sincere thanks for your support and lovely comments...
you are the best
