I see it in your sweet home. I would like to begin a kitchen project with upper cupboards. Did you and Larry design the open cabinet above the sink? Is there a post following this project? I LOVE it.

To me, it's cozy and soothing but very stylish. I've been going back in your archives and I am really listening to you on Project 333 and about living mindfully (remember the estate sale and all the stuff; the neighbors losing their home; was the accumulation worth the house...wow, was THAT thought-provoking...). I'm feeling this groundswell of change rising up into me for how I want and MUST live in 2013. I like your recipes, too.

Please tell us where you found those sensational pillows on your sofa. Did you make them? They look very Pottery Barn-ish. <br /><br />You are such an ideal role-model for so many of us. I wonder how you came to be who/where you are. Was it easy? Was it a struggle? Do you meditate daily to achieve the peace you seem to have? These are very personal questions and I will understand if you ignore them - but please tell us where you found those pillows!<br /><br />May you have a wonderful Christmas and a terrific 2013 in which you will keep on blogging for the pleasure and education of all of us who are most grateful to you for sharing your life. - Jan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-54769724887106734412012-12-22T14:53:58.989-08:002012-12-22T14:53:58.989-08:00I love, love, love that kitchen!

I am always looking at other blogs for ideas and changing things around the house. I always come back to your home as an example of what I want in mine. I think we have the ability to do it, each in our own way, but how did you find it. In this season and with the New Year upon us, wouldn't it be nice to have peace and kindness in our homes and lives. Merry Christmas and may the New Year bring happiness, health and joy.
