Neat blog.<br /><br />I agree with you ~ contentment is definitely a choice and a lifestyle that keeps things real. =)<br /><br />Blessings on your weekend!<br />Katie~katie~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03098817313603747451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14734790.post-44399928236415556122011-09-16T06:28:16.592-04:002011-09-16T06:28:16.592-04:00I had to laugh about the leaning floor lamp.

(the top piece that holds on the shade is stripped and won't tighten enough) I just keep staightening the shade and keep on going!Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547001714523524390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14734790.post-83002391893674167182011-09-16T06:15:56.330-04:002011-09-16T06:15:56.330-04:00Our first home was a rental and I remember when I ...Our first home was a rental and I remember when I went to buy shelf paper for the cabinets I told my husband, "Look they have contact paper that matches the wallpaper in the kitchen!" That's when he pointed out to me that the kitchen wallpaper *was* contact paper!<br /><br />We are keeping it real here with furniture that is pretty beaten up at 15 years old. But it is still serving it's purpose. It's almost a game to me to see how long I can make it last.<br /><br />We've never been ones to "keep up with the Joneses" and I love to hear from like-minded people!<br /><br />Blessings to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
