Bedroom Dilemma

Alex and I decided that we loved the second bedroom so much, that we wanted to paint our bedroom too! We chose the same Velspar paint in "Cinder Block." However, we've got a bit of a dilemma. Where should we put our bed?  Below are some pictures and on the right sidebar please vote for where you'd like to see our bed! Thank you!!

By the wall?


OR


By the window?



Thank you!!





Thoughts for a Monday...

Let me be transparent for a minute...follow up.

A few weeks ago I told you about my Pinterest "problem" here.  After my week without Pinterest I learned:

1. I had more free time.
2. I was more content with the state of our house.
3. Alex enjoyed using the iPad a lot more often!

When my Pinterest free week was over, I began using again (that sounds like I'm an addict). But, I quickly learned that the problem wasn't Pinterst, it was my heart. I was allowing myself to sit and gawk, lust and covet over seemingly unimportant things and think it was acceptable (obviously it's not).

I'm not perfect and I still get on Pinterest. But, I limit my time and know my boundries. There is a point when something becomes a problem and you need to begin searching for a soulution. Alex and I prayed about the situation and I'm consciously try to spend less time gawking.

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned whatever situation I am in to be content.


In light of the subject, I found this ecard and thought it was amusing and fitting:
