Reality -vs- Fantasy

In my reality, 

I look at blogs...or decorating magazines...or Pinterest

and I come across an image that makes me happy.

It's usually some space that looks like perfection to me. 

Every piece in the space appears to be carefully selected
just to make me swoon. 

The space always has such style and flair and

 there is often some great handbag,
or even better, a pair of perfect shoes, 

styled into the room to grab my attention.

 Kind of like this:

Ethan Allen

Do you see those well placed shoes on the right hand side? 

In  my fantasy, 

I wonder how it would feel to have a room in my home

look perfectly put together like that.

I wonder how it would feel to walk into a room and sigh

with contentment, seeing those shoes thrown off to the side,

luring me in.  

Well my friends, 
I am here to say,
 my fantasy has become my reality!

I walked into my sitting room and chanced upon this image:

LOL!  

 Something tells me my son's LeBron James sneakers are not going 

to help me achieve that image of perfection, no matter how

well placed they may appear! 

I really hate it when the lines of reality & fantasy get blurred.  :)

Happy Memorial Day weekend, my friends!
