When all is quiet in the house, and the morning is just about to begin, I look out the window and...
there it is....had to wait a minute or two but the bright sunshine came filtering through the dining room window and illuminated the stained glass hanging in front of it.
It's the little bits and pieces of the day that make me smile.
At the end of the day, the sunlight streams in through the living room window on the other side of the house. Pixie know this and never misses a chance to bask in the sunbeams that I am quite sure she thinks we send out to her every day. Now, I have to ask you...have you ever matched your decor to your pet...or maybe chose your pet to match your decor?
It honestly was just happenstance that the color of the room and the coffee table/ottoman happen to match the green of Pixies eyes. I'm just being a little silly today...it might be the paint fumes. We prepped the walls and painted the primer over everything...hoping to have the color on the walls to show you next week. We will also be replacing a window and carpeting the room... wall to wall. This is getting very exciting! Here is a sneak peek of the room right now...
The walls will be painted Serene blue, the doors a semi gloss white to match the moldings. Not a huge room, but lots of closet space!
This post is being linked to Little Red House for Mosaic Monday, Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday, and Smiling Sally for Blue Monday.

The closet wall looks amazing! And I just looked back and saw you got the doors for a song...yay, Susan! (I'd expect nothing less from my yard saling friend. :-)
Some day I'll post pics of my attic reno. Some day, lol.

I love your stained glass, it does look beautiful with the sun shining on it. Your kitty looks nice and comfy. Great photos. I wish you a great week ahead.

I'm still jealous of all your closet space, Susan...lol! I can't wait to see the finished room.
Your Pixie is a beauty! Black cats are so smart. My cat alsop loves to sit wherever a sunbeam lands.

I love your stained glass! Did you make that? I have a friend who's an artist and she does work like that. I love the look, pretty colors, too, especially with the sun shining through.

I would love some of your sunshine since I have not seen it in weeks:( Hope you have a wonderful week and good luck with the painting.

The sun shining through your stained glass is so pretty. I'm sure your kitty enjoys the warmth of the sun where she's relaxing.

Your closet is coming right along. I love stained glass and glass windows and your kitties! Lovely!
Posted by: Snap | January 29, 2012 at 06:06 PM
I too love especially the morning light coming in to our house. Better than the setting sun and maybe it's because in the morning the day is fresh and new with expectation and anticipation of what will unfold. Beautiful pictures and I'm sure your room is going to look wonderful!

Beautiful, I really like the first grouping with the stained glass window, so pretty. Thanks for sharing...
Posted by: Mary | January 29, 2012 at 08:57 PM
Hooray!! I'm bummed that I didn't get to help you guys paint at all... maybe if there's anything left by the time I get home! I love seeing Pixie on here, too. Her green eyes are huge and lovely as usual. I miss smothering my kitty with love!
Hope you had a good weekend mommy!
Love Jenna

Those are lovely green eyes! Yes, redecorating is exciting.

I love it when the sun streams through in the morning, but that Stained Glass must really look spectacular. Your mosaics are lovely. Your room should look lovely in that shade of blue.

I love that stained glass! Great choice for wall color. Thanks for sharing your blues.
Happy Blue Monday, Susan.

It's great to be there at the "right time" for a stained glass moment. I've got a bit of stained glass in my post, looking forward to seeing it cleaned up. Best wishes.

Beautiful stained class. I think your closet space is bigger than my house. LOL. Have a great day.

Great light and amazing closet space. Both are always so desirable. My living room is blue as well -- look forward to seeing yours.

I love those first rays of sunshine... So nice on a cold winter day!
Posted by: Julie | January 30, 2012 at 07:03 AM
Oh how I love sunshine! Gorgeous shining through your stained glass window. Now tell the truth, I think you took Pixie along to pick that coffe/table ottoman. lol!
Either way, it's awfully cute. I don't blame her for basking in the sun. I'd be tempted to throw on my bathing suit and do the same. Now that's a scary thought. lol!
Hugs,
Jann

Wow that looks great. Blue is sure a popular color for decorating as I am finding as I visit MM today. We have never had an indoor pet but I like your decorating idea.

It's going to look so good, and be so functional!
I love the sun glinting through the stained glass. Beautiful!

Beautiful captures!
My Blue Monday.

Somedays I would like to be like a cat and lie around in the sunbeams. Any sunbeams I get usually show up the dust I haven't got to. V

The beaming sun is such a welcome sign in the morning especially as it reflects through that stained glass. Oh so soothing and vibrant at the same time.
Those closets are amazing, Susan and the color sounds just perfect!
Thank you so much for sharing...
