Description:

The journey of customizing Le Papillon, my house and home in Bend, Oregon, since September 2019 has providing much opportunity for learning both about the actual and practical purpose of home remodeling and decorating but also about much opportunity for self-growth. Over the past nearly four years, an abundance of experiences, discoveries. lessons and wow moments have been collected which is why I wanted to share today's detailed and lengthy (90 minutes) with listeners of The Simple Sophisticate podcast.

As I share at the beginning of today's episode, while it has been a dream of mine to customize my own home, I never actually planned to spend the past 4 years doing so, but the timing and opportunity presented itself to continue moving forward once my first "must-do" project (the kitchen) was completed, and now with the installation of the front porch screen door you see a glimpse of above, the journey is complete and I am eager to share with you 33 lessons I have learned below so that you can confidently and more enjoyably take part in your own customization of your sanctuary that will, when you dare to trust what you discover and learn how to do, provide priceless refuge, rejuvenation, inspiration and joy.

No doubt, the journey has its headaches, stresses and questions along the way (for example, when will the bathroom ever get done!), but I share here and in the podcast episode, without any hesitation, it was worth it, to be able to call home and live my life now in a home that works with me, nourishes me and helps me feel secure but also confident enough to try to soar and explore when I step out the door into the world.

So let's begin! In the Show Notes below I have only included the 33 bulleted points and left the detailed conversation, examples and ideas solely in the audio section as otherwise, this post would have been loooooong. To thank you for your patience as there was no new episode on the 1st Wednesday of this month, I have two Petit Plaisirs to share with you today and I look forward to sharing those with you at the end of this post and episode. Now to the episode!
