Sunday Sharing from the She Shed Volume 33
Happy Sunday, friends!
It has been a busy two weeks since I last wrote to you. I’m just now finding a moment at 9:00 p.m. to send this out.
Things are finally settling down after the fires, and the community is coming together to support those who have lost so much.
After church today, we took a drive up the street and saw the devastation firsthand. It was heartbreaking to witness the destruction and the homes that were lost—I couldn’t hold back the tears.
It’s difficult to comprehend how the fire moved through the area. On one side of the street, every house was gone, while the homes on the other side remained untouched.
We will continue to do whatever we can to bring a little light to those affected, one day at a time.
Happier Days
On a brighter note, we had these three with us for the weekend!
We spent the day at Balboa Island, riding the Ferris wheel, bouncing on the trampoline, and indulging in some delicious treats—a Balboa Bar, frozen bananas, and fried Oreos! Yum!
Then home for a hot jacuzzi dip in the rain!
We also had the joy of hosting some dear friends for a fabulous dinner—and let me tell you, it was a feast to remember! (I promise, some delicious recipes are coming your way soon!) Entertaining is truly one of my favorite things to do, and there’s nothing better than gathering around the table with good food and great company.
Our menu featured a show-stopping Crown Pork Roast, flavorful Couscous with dates, pine nuts, and dried apricots, crispy and buttery Potatoes Anna, classic Green Beans Almondine, baked apples and, to top it all off—the most decadent cheesecake. Every bite was pure delight!
What is Happening at WM Design House
We’ve been busy refreshing the inside of the house! I added wallpaper in the dining room, up the stairwell, and in the downstairs powder room—and I’m absolutely loving it. It’s been years since I’ve had wallpaper, so this change feels fresh and exciting. Have you tried it? The transformation can be truly dramatic!
I’ve also been busy refinishing furniture! I found a pair of metallic copper nightstands on the Facebook marketplace (which I love) and am transforming them with a beautiful distressed white finish for our guest bedroom.
I also had two tall shelving units sitting in the garage for a while, and after last week’s big garage cleanup, I decided it was time to give them a fresh coat of paint and bring them inside.
One found a home in the dining room, and the other now sits in the breakfast area near the kitchen. I’ve had so much fun styling them with my thriftstore treasures!
We also celebrated three birthdays—our daughter Meghan turned 38, our oldest granddaughter turned 10, and our youngest grandson, Callum, turned two!
Ironically, Florida gifted them with 8 inches of snow to mark the occasion!
