Dream a little dream for me.

Is it Friday yet?

Haha, just kidding. But seriously. These last two weeks have been a nonstop whirlwhind of activity and busy-ness between going to Girl’s Camp, traveling to a blogger conference, running the Mystery Thrift-Off contest and more. But today is Monday, so back to business!

And business includes makeovers, and today’s makeover comes with a super cool story.  It’s so cool, you might need to bundle up. It’s so cool, you’re going to get chills.

So, Rachel at Lovin’ Life decided to paint a picture last year of her imaginary dream house. This is what she painted:

 

 

 

Then, after months and months and months of searching, THREE failed offers on other homes, edging in on giving up hope, this house (which she had never before laid eyes on) came into her life:

 

 

 

 

CHILLS, right?! She painted a picture of her dream house, and then she got her dream house.

STONE HER, SHE’S A WIZARD.

 

Haha, I’m kidding of course. She’s amazing. She truly, literally, turned her vision into reality. Especially since it didn’t look exactly like that to begin with …

This was the house as she bought it. It still had all of her ‘dream house’ criteria, square footage, lot size, etc.  All it was really lacking was that cheerful blue paint. That’s the power of living with intention, as those Wayne Dwyer books I haven’t finished reading seem to say.

Pretty cool.

She got to work transforming the inside, which needed some updating.

And look, she even got the round window from her painting, only it’s in the kitchen now instead.

Now, I’m off to go paint a picture of a million dollars falling from the sky into my backyard.  Or Ryan Gosling on my doorstep, holding a dozen roses.  Or Ryan Gosling, on my doorstep, holding a million dollars. I’m not picky.
