Humble Little Lily Pad

So I have updated the decor in my house. I have added some new pieces that tie into what decor I already had and might I say I am so proud of my Humble Lily Pad! I have worked so hard to get what I have and to make it look like a home over the years that I am finally starting to be at peace and take pride in my home. Not to mention I enjoy the time spent at home with my daughter because it does look so inviting, cozy, peaceful and friendly! It has taken me many years to get it to look so nice, and I have to admit I have had a lot of fun these last few weeks adding and fine tunning the detail of the decor to make it look so grand! While it isn't done yet, it is very close. I have a few things in each room I have to finalize before it will be complete but over all each room looks amazing. I don't say any of this boasting....anyone who has ever seen any of the places I have lived will testify that my decor has been nice but always very simple and always lacking in detail. The crazy part, my budget now is way less then what I have decorated with in years past...Yet when I moved here over a year ago, I made a lot of decisions regarding my relationship with God and I truly believe that because of those decisions, God is rewarding me with the desires of my heart. One of the desires being having a home that is BEAUTIFUL and looks AMAZING, something right out of one of those magizines. Therefore, He is providing the finances, sales, bargains, buy one get one free, and all the other cool treasures to make this desire a reality for me and Amariah! I owe the honor, praise and joy to God for making these new additions of decor possible for me! Thank you, Lord, for allowing me the ability to have these materialistic items in my house to enjoy! Selah.............




Smiles, You are an amazing God, who am I to try and understand your ways? Who am I to try and solve the mysteries as to why I am worthy of such favor and blessings? I stand in aww of you....and your blessings, favor, grace and mercy! The vision to make my Humble Lily Pad a home is coming to pass only through you Lord, again Thank You!



I have to admit so far I think my favorite decor piece is the wall art on the half walls in the dinning room leading into the kitchen. It was a bit time consuming making sure it all was pieced together and lined up and even laid out right but the finished product is breath taking if I may say so myself...Giggle Giggles! Oh and I have found the same color skeme word picture with a different caption and picture to put on the wall with the one that my God daughter got me while she was in Kentucky that says Prayer....This new one says Vision and has a caption that talks about vision....So now both of them are up and intergrated with my mounted light up bridge picture my Mommy bought me many years ago as a present! The 3 of them look amazing on the wall behind the couch! I am getting excited to get my candle order from my friends party so that I can tie in those home decor items with what I have!



The last but best project will be my room. This project will be a complete makeover on my entire room...I will have a theme picked out, I have 90% of the decor already but I just need to tie it all in and put the finishing touches on it and buy the bedding and maybe either paint my bookshelf to tie in the colors or paint my bedroom tv stand to tie in the color skeme or paint both..Giggle Giggles! hmmm, what to do what to do....I just bought tonight a large picture to put on one of the larger walls that have been decorated by the "themed beach towel" so the wall wasn't naked! Giggle Giggle....So the towel will come down and the picture will go up and I will re-arrange some of the pictures I have up already to start making the walls PICTURE PERFECT before I get out the decor items!!! I am so excited because my bedroom hasn't ever been fully themed and fully finished since......well to be honest...I don't think ever.....I remember growing up I had a mint green room because I was supposed to have a pastel border added to the top of the walls that went around the entire room and when we moved from that house, needless to say the trim wasn't even finished being tacked back on yet alone the boarder...Giggle Giggle....so you can see why I am excited to have a bedroom fully themed and finished!

It amazes me that when we do our part in the relationship with God whole heartedly, just how FAITHFUL He IS to fulfill His end, pouring out Blessings and Favor for us and on us!
