Seeking Purpose...Finding Joy: Staging
http://portelinteau.blogspot.com/p/staging.html
It is amazing how little it takes to fill a space and add some personality to a room. A small inventory goes a long way! Here are two different homes that I staged last month. These were for sale and both sold within days of listing. Use multiples of 3 or larger odd numbered items. Use plates as art. Symmetry goes a long way in balancing a space. More tips coming soon!

Seeking Purpose...Finding Joy: October 2014
http://portelinteau.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Arizona Autumn is fleeting and if one pauses for too long it passes in the night. We delight in all things orange at this time of year and dress up in warm clothes if only for fun. It's October and we can finally play outside! We got our orange on all month! What better place to visit than our Botanical Garden where butterflies are celebrated. A light dusting to remove any clinging species is a pre-requisite to leaving the garden. Caught this little tulip in the garden.

Seeking Purpose...Finding Joy: December 2014
http://portelinteau.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. ADVENT memories of a glorious season have left our hearts full of His glory. Each day we spent some time reading The Greatest Gift. To affirm our faith. I love this time of year when the house is still celebrating Christmas because no one has told her it's over. The memories are close at hand and for the next few days I will relish the peace that has fallen. I do wish that I had taken more pictures when our house was bustling with toys and visitors! Perhaps this will be a trend.

Seeking Purpose...Finding Joy: September 2014
http://portelinteau.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 19, 2014. The challenge by Ali Edwards to tell our story for a year through One Little Word. Continues. June was a reflection of sorts with simple graphics so that we could focus on writing about our thoughts. The July prompt was threefold:. 1 Do something good for yourself. That was easy. I was training for my triathlon so I gotta coach! 2 Do something good for someone else. Gifted my Bose radio to Rick. He loves music, talk radio, political banter and all things on air. An intense aer...

Seeking Purpose...Finding Joy: April 2015
http://portelinteau.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. Spring lasts about 4 days in these parts and we know how to bask in its' glory! Our desert is spectacular. Our Easter egg hunt was amidst these beauties. What girl does not like flowers? My ancient sewing machine still comes out of hiding once in a while and this time it created this beauty that will soon head to it's permanent home in a New York cabin. My sis is a pro at remembering special occasions. The cards can be tucked into pockets and pouches until the special day arrives.

Saturday, April 19, 2014. Sharing Things that Make Me Happy. I FINALLY made a banner for my studio! The prompt from the One Little Word. Class that I am applying this year inspired the creation. It seemed like the banner should demonstrate a level of trust. These Tim Holtz pulleys. Really challenged the project. I LOVE old yardsticks so I sorted through my little collection and found a rare 48" stick to tie it all together. Yes this was a balancing act of gargantuan proportion. Swim, Bike, Run. A little ...
