Spice it up

Live to work or Work to LIVE!? Do you live to work? Well I don't! I definitely work to live. On the priorities list work is not number one... it would probably go something like this:

1. Family (hubby, mom, in laws, doggies, extended fam etc.)
2. Religion
3. Travel
4. Work
5. everything else...

It's not that I don't enjoy my job, but its not my be all end all. I do it to make money in order to have a nice life. If my full time job was just my side business I may be able to change my tune...I love wedding planning but I'm just not able to make that my full time career at this point! Maybe in a couple years! Here's hoping!

All that said, I decided I need to spice up my office a little to bring some elements of home and whats important to me to get me through the days.

So I brought in my Frenchie mug to remind me of my little yabbies!

Now every time I sip my tea I smile a little bigger!

I also brought in this painting that my auntie did of Katepwa valley (which is where our families cottages are located! It's such a beautiful lake and I just love spending time out there) 

Speaking of home decor, our basement is finally finished! So now it is time to paint, decorate and re-organize! I can't wait to get started, our basement has been in disarray for months waiting for this to get completed! Here are the before pictures, stay tuned for the after pictures!

Renos included: dry wall - mudded/tapped, half wall built, drop ceiling, pot lights (all on dimmers)
