SOLD

 Well, it's about time I broke the news....

 I have posted so many pictures of this wonderful house over the last year and it now belongs to a new family

 This was a hard decision for my husband and I.... but one that will bring new challenges and new beginnings

 I sold it completely furnished, collections and antiques included....I know, I know

 That was the hardest part for me...the letting go of the many things I have found in antique malls and flea markets 

and have lovingly placed on shelves and tables

 I never really wanted to sell everything, but it just seemed like most everything belonged here....

 For those of you who are new to the Polished Pebble Blog...many of the things I do are one of a kind and funny quirky sort of design ideas and they just belong in the homes they are placed in...

 I like to find a common ground with things I use... to inspire everyone...

I want you to say "I can use that in  my own house"  and maybe help to jump start a new project with just a little pillow fabric...

or a simple pot of flowers...that is what unique ideas can do...

 So what is next for me?   Lots of things....

 We will spend more time in Ojai and plan on starting a new search for a great little house that we might just end up in until....well whenever

 I have loved the process of finding and decorating....and collecting

 The dishes came with me.... but not the great cabinet

...but  I did manage to sneak out my chickens

The bread box is now filled with orchids of another color....not mine 

 I sold most of the art work, including the wonderful oil by Jean Jack...but I called her and she has another she knows I will love

 And yes Mr Grainy and I are no long an item....but a love like ours may never really be over

 The view I enjoyed will be a bit different now...

 And the movie watching will be on another fluffy couch...

 But life is full of things that change....

 A friend told me yesterday.... when one door closes anther one opens

...and I think that is very true

 So here's to the future and the opening of new doors

gosh I love that sink...is it bad to love a sink?

Sleep tight my little house...and to all of my wonderful blogger friends

my sincere thanks for your support and lovely comments...

you are the best
