Hello Monday! Renovations continue here and altho Hello Monday! Renovations continue here and although I see so much progress…I can’t not see this popcorn ceiling and outdated ceiling fan! We’re getting closer to covering up the popcorn but for now I’ll just try to avert my eyes! 😊 In happier news we now have a chandelier hanging in the “new” bathroom (you know, the room that used to be a bedroom) and it makes me so happy! I’ll try to give you a sneak peek in stories later today! .. #havanese #havanesedaily #havanesedog #havanesemoments #havanesemom #doglifeisgood #dogsarefamily #ilovemydog #beautifuldogs #beautifuldogsofinstagram #longhairedhavanese #longhairdog #petfriendly #petsforlife #petsarefamily #jimmyandgreta #cozymountaincottage #polyandbark #smallspaces #smallspaceliving #smallspacesquad #smallspacestyle #bohostyle #bohohome #55plusliving #rvlife #smallhomes #chandelierlove
Real life! For those that are new here, this is Ji Real life! For those that are new here, this is Jimmy (in front) and Greta (standing up). They are my babies and are in no way camera shy! 📸 They are Havanese and are 4 (J) and 6 (G) years old. 🐶🐶 They bring so much joy and happiness to our lives and I can’t imagine it without them! They show up in most of my photos because they stick to me like Velcro and I don’t mind a bit. ❤️ We do still have Gigi and she spends most of her days with Dee, at work, in the barn, sleeping on her stool! She’s a daddy’s girl! 😊 I’m so glad you’re here following along as we cozy up this little 800 sq ft park model home, but I must warn you, beware of the hair!!! It’s everywhere! Happy Friday! … #havanese #havanesedaily #havanesedog #havanesemoments #havanesemom #doglifeisgood #dogsarefamily #ilovemydog #beautifuldogs #beautifuldogsofinstagram #longhairedhavanese #longhairdog #petfriendly #petsforlife #petsarefamily #jimmyandgreta #cozymountaincottage #vmat
Out with the old and in with the new! New @polyand Out with the old and in with the new! New @polyandbark bench for the foot of the bed! I’m learning how to live in a small space, and quality pieces of furniture that are appropriate for the space but still function the way they need to, are the ticket! You know that my dogs are very important around here and having a bench for them to jump on and off the bed is necessary to protect their backs and knees. And it looks good too! 😊 I could not be happier with this gorgeous bench! What do you think, did I do good? … #polyandbark #havanese #havaneseofinstagram #havaneselove #havanesedaily #havaneseoftheday #smallspaces #smallspaceliving #bohocottage #bohobedroom #monsteradeliciosa #vintagemirror #fauxbrick #cozyhome #mycozyretreat
So much has changed since I took this photo, and o So much has changed since I took this photo, and one of them is that I am becoming less of a maximalist and more of a not-quite-so-maximalist! I can’t imagine that I could ever be a minimalist, but I have to admit that letting go of so much stuff is very freeing! This photo even feels freeing, just a clean slate with three of my favorite things; a chandelier, a mirror, and my dogs! 😊 The downsizing continues! 👏🏻 Be sure to join me and Dee today at NOON EST for our LIVE chat and Q&A session! We’re looking so forward to hanging out with you! … #vintagemirror #vintagechandelier #smallspaceliving #smallspaces #smallspacesquad #smallhouse #shiplapwalls #havaneselove #havanesedog #downsizing #minimaliststyle #downsizeliving
I’m still loving this green! It has made such a I’m still loving this green! It has made such an impact in our little space! If you’re on the fence about adding color to your home, I highly recommend it. I also recommend downsizing, minimizing, decluttering, whatever you want to call it…it feels amazing! And kitchen photos always remind me that I need a cutting board for that empty slot. 😏 Happy Friday!!! … #kitchenmakeover #greencabinets #amyhowardathome #chalkpainted
