The Power of Visualization

Our friend Daisy bequeathed a cottage to Kathleen in June of 2009. She told Kathleen that she could decorate the cottage however she wanted. At the time, it looked like this:

When Kathleen was visiting me in July 2009 she showed me the above picture, and with a lot of imagination and some Photoshopping, we were able to create a mock-up of how she wanted the cottage to look:

(*Goat optional)

Now, six months later, look at the cottage:

How's that for making a dream a reality?

How did she change the color of the grout on the fireplace??? The room looks great.

Kathleen didn't change the color of the grout, it just looked darker in the first picture because the walls were so dark. Isn't it so pretty!?! Dang!

She should add the goat....then it would be perfect!
