All things are literally better, lovelier, and more beloved for the imperfections which have been divinely appointed.

    That is a beautiful photo! Your porch looks like the perfect place to enjoy an evening cup of tea.

    My mom has always said that those “imperfections” are what give us character. I’ve always been full of character. :) My house definitely reflects that.

    That’s the way it is every day here. I love the imperfections in my home and in the gardens.

Mr Chiots and I really enjoy doing things ourselves. We're especially excited when we get to tackle a new project...
