On another note… or should I say another step?

I was right!!

Not only did I guess one of my cats would love my new open staircase project, but I also guessed who would be the first one to roost in an opening. ha!

Ivan found his spot to lord over the rest of us.

And he literally scares the living daylights out of me in the dark. Do you blame me?

Now it’s Lily’s turn to give it a try. She wouldn’t dare lower herself to such standards.

As for Loula, she’s my constant shadow and helper maintaining our busy household with five of us flitting about on a daily basis.

Larissa looks at things with fresh eyes, she problem solves creatively, and I love how she uses her "stash" of valuable "junk" in the process.

What attracted me to Prodigal Pieces at first was the business name. What kept me interested is her opening up to share her life with her readers. She shares her beautiful creativity, has tutorials in her blog and takes what was old and makes it new again. I have several of her beautiful pieces decorating my home.
