Lately I find myself eliminating more and more clutter around the house. This time it all started with a small change in the living room by removing some Pussy Willow stems from an olive jar that were leftover from the Christmas photo shoot. While they were pretty they were messy……always dropping the white fuzzy things when bumped and of course Simon aka Sir Licks A Lot found them very appealing and would always gobble them right up! This is not good for a senior dog with a delicate digestive system so out they finally went!!! After re-arranging a few things the prints next to the door were no longer working. Once I took them down I knew they were the wrong size and I needed something smaller for the wall. Suddenly I remembered these mirrors from Wisteria that I have loved since the very first time they appeared in their catalog.
The mirrors are called Stations of the cross…..they were inspired by a grouping of fourteen pieces found in churches across Europe that depict the final hours of Jesus Christ. I love the meaning behind them which makes them so special!
We are still working on the project upstairs….progress is very slow! I keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end but sometimes it is very hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when things aren’t going so well!!!!! Hopefully I will have something to show you soon that isn’t too scary! LOL

Very pretty! I love the splotches of silver in the room.
I'm trying to eliminate clutter in my home as well. Growing up it was always drummed into me not to throw out things just for the sake of throwing them out. If it was in good working order or not broken, it was considered wasteful to pitch it. So I have a very difficult time in the de-clutter process. Thank goodness for the Salvation Army, ECAT and Good Will.
Can't wait to see what you've done with the upstairs.
hello deserae! thanks for your sweet comment! all the best to you and with your decluttering!
