Ottoman

Good morning. 

This Tuesday hiking group likes to make hiking so very extraordinarily complicated. All day of text messages to land on a walk (not a hike) on a gravel road (with car traffic) and no bathrooms for miles. Why? I really have no idea. There are umpteen billion choices of hikes and we end up here. The hike's been planned for 2 weeks and suddenly, nope. It's going to be beautiful weather and we're on a gravel road. I'm hiking a lot this week so I'm downgrading to a walk, but I was close to backing out and going on a solo hike -- where hiking lives, IN THE WOODS.

Ottoman looks good. I ordered pillows for the chairs to tie in the green. I tossed a green pillow on to see if it works. Hopefully, the pillows I ordered have enough green to balance. The sofa across the room has the green pillow and a green blanket. Also, a few plants so green is scattered around the room.

I got a handmade lampshade from Etsy for an old lamp I thrifted. I like the contrast of patterns. The gold accents on the lamp work with the gold on the shade so I think the mix-match works.

I've been searching FB marketplace for items for the new house and keep striking out. People are leaving listings up well after they've sold. One post is for a $20 plant stand and the response was "I'm in talks with someone." What does that mean? Over $20?? I'll keep trying. I'm bummed about the plant stand -- it was a good price. Looking for counter stools and rugs too. Our new island needs 4 chairs and we only have 3 -- no longer available at retailer so I need to start over.

Total social calendar today. Hike, lunch, movie night with hubby. As usual, I need to remember to enjoy it and not be in my head about this and that. 

Hope you have a good day. Later gators.
