Joyful Pause/Paws Cottage Studio Gets an Update

It has been years since I found these sweet little bird houses and painted them orange which adorned the front of my cottage studio.

As you can see by the photo above the color faded over the years. It was time for an update, but alas, procrastination was holding me back. Or was the timing not yet right?

I initially thought I’d just repaint them in the same shade of orange, but then had the idea to paint each one a different color. This was just the inspiration (and kick in the butt!) I needed to tackle this project one recent Saturday morning!

And I am thrilled with the final outcome! Looking at them now affixed to the front of my studio, I had to smile because I had this sense that one special little colorful donkey I found on my travels to Florida this past winter had somehow subconsciously influenced me. So a big hee haw of a thank you to Donkey who is shown in the photo below along with the updated birdhouses.

P.S. If you are new here…there have been many paws that have inspired my journey for the past 25 years who taught me the power of pausing often in my life to reflect and come back to center in order to live a meaningful life.
