Bryan Adams, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Foreigner, Chicago, Phil Collins…..and I could go on and on! When cleaning house, doing laundry, and washing dishes seem overwhelming to me (because I have let things go too long), I can put my 80’s music on Pandora and move to the groove. It is amazing what I can conquer when I am listening to that stuff, and with my headphones in, I have perfect pitch!

I have been wanting to do a shiplap project in my house and after a lot of whining, begging, and singing 80’s music aloud, my husband finally gave in! Sometimes you just have to  be the visionary and sacrifice your dignity to get things done.

We did compromise and started with a small space. This is a hallway just outside our master bedroom.

It was so dark before and it didn’t have any personality at all….Now even though it is a very small space, it makes a statement. It makes me happy every time I walk by it (or dance by it, if Phil Collins is singing to me.)

With Love,
