Happy New Year! Happy New Space!

Happy New Year!  Back in GA after a wonderful visit in TX.  Missing my family already.  Just impossible to see everyone in one visit.  But we really enjoyed our stay. Kids start back to school tomorrow.  I haven't even finished unpacking and my Christmas decor is staring me down.  It'll all get done in time.  Thought I'd share pics of this little bench I bought at Ross'.  Even though I loved the color, it did not blend well in the space. So, I gave it a coat of black to match the black accents in the adjoining space.  Then paired it with black frames above. When I bought it, I really didn't know where to put it, but it seems to work well in this little alcove off my dining room. I like how it brought life to an otherwise boring little space, along with our new family portraits.  Blessings to you and yours for a happy and prosperous new year!  Thanks for all the comments left while I was away.
