Mystery Mayhem {and denial}

If you saw my blog tour awhile back, you may remember me talking about how my 'creative process' works. 
I get an idea for something I want to try and then mayhem begins. I need to SEE all the potential elements in front of me, which results in a great deal of mess until my plan comes together.
I head to the "possibility pile" and pull all of the things I might want to use together. Often, this process is happening in the middle of our living space. 

Hmm, wonder why the kids haven't spent much time downstairs this week.... 

Is it just me, or does that silly ceiling fan ruin this picture? {giggle} 
Oh well, we are just looking at possibilities in this mayhem...

I am crazy about my new #4 French house number, sent to me by a sweet blogging friend, Doré of Burlap Luxe. 

It was a heartfelt gift representing my four children, and along with it, her dear words of encouragement to me (also a gift). Visit her beautiful blog here, and her pretty and peaceful Etsy shop here. 

Let's pretend there's no ceiling fan. Much better : )

I have a lot of candle sticks and candle jars, but I think my favorite remains this humble old pickle jar. 
This is a vignette in the making. Just trying out some random things together...

I was considering using this large piano panel I've had for years in this project, but I think it might be too large.

I'm forever trying to find the right spot for my mason jar chandelier. Maybe I should cut it in half and make two smaller ones? Maybe I should sell it? 

Yikes!
Can you guess what I'm thinking of creating here in our tiny living room? I think it's going to sit just like this for at least a few more days yet, while the wheels are turning, and I finish up another project I'll tell you about in a minute.

So I have a little news that I think I'm in denial about. 

A couple of weeks ago we got word that the home we are renting is officially on the market. In fact, we are the center home of a row of five townhomes, and they are all for sale. 

Thankfully, one of the homes is currently empty making it unnecessary to show our particular home (they are all the same).
The realtor assured me that things will probably not move too quickly, and I do have a lease that they will honor through the end of September no matter what. 
I should be thinking about packing up and preparing for the possibility of a move, but instead I just keep creating mayhem, and more projects around here. Why??

Denial

If you follow me over on Facebook, you saw my denial manifested the other day, in the form of cutting up a door to make over the totally dysfunctional office area in our upstairs hallway. 

For the house we probably won't live in for long. 

I'll show you how that's coming along this week, as well as the mystery mayhem in the living room {when I get it figured out} 

Should I just keep cruising along in Denial World until I hear something about the house, or should I start gathering moving boxes? 
I'm really not ready to "be done" with this house yet! But God is in control and I'm open to wherever He leads. 

Thanks for coming by today!
