Monday daydreaming...

I've mentioned before that I am a procrastinator daydreamer. I think Mondays are for daydreaming. As much as I do crave routine and structure, I'm usually not quite ready for it come Monday morning.  Most of my daydreams involve beautiful spaces of some kind, not the unfinished projects and blank walls of indecision that are my reality.

Here's some eye candy for your Monday morning so maybe you can put reality off a little longer too. All images are via Pinterest unless otherwise noted.

I imagine myself living in, or at the very least, vacationing in this bright and sunny Edward Hopper painting, Corn Hill.  I picture the ocean not far beyond the foreground. I can practically smell it.

I'll spend some time just hanging out on my imaginary sailboat, in this outfit.  In reality, anytime I've been on a boat, I've hardly looked like this.

Usually I look like this:
a funny face, because I'm squinting from the sun, baseball cap and sloppy shirt that's my husband's because I'm trying not to get sun poisoning and a clear lack of makeup.

Of course I am always daydreaming about a beach house,

or two. I'm not picky.

It has beautiful features and comfortable spaces,

and loads of charm.

And then I'm jolted back to reality.

My kids will be up in ten minutes.
Lunches to make.
Errands to run.
There's a big void to fill where the Christmas tree used to be.

Back to reality. 

What daydreams get you through a Monday morning?

Have a great week.

  10. Oh my! I'll take the tiny cottage by the sea as long as i can have those white paneled walls in my bedroom. I haven't painted my bedroom since we moved in over 10 years ago b/c I'm waiting for my hubby to panel the walls first. *sigh*

    So glad to have discovered your blog. Your About Me sounds similar to my story. What the heck do I do now that my kids are growing??! :)

    Have a great day!

  11. Love daydreaming and pinterest is great for it, or any number of magazines. I daydream of a place right on the ocean that I could go to anytime.
