I've got some fun pictures to share with you today! My friend Pam Sessions of Hedgewood Homes gave us a tour of 3 of her Hedgewood Stay homes and all I can say is just WOW!
She likes to say she isn't a designer and I just want to flick her head when she says that....and maybe stomp on a toe or 2...haha
Here are the first pictures.....which is a one bedroom....
Simple backsplash....and beautiful Quartzite countertops!
Love the Brizo faucet....a great choice to the more expensive bridge faucets!
I love the dark ceiling....
Cute little dining area.....
And beyond the kitchen.....
Small living area.....
Love the metal butterflies on the wall....nice change from art!
And upstairs....
And of course....some black and white to get me going.....
This bathroom.....
So what are your favorite details? I really like the butterflies and of course this bathroom!
Yesterday was my anniversary. I felt sad all day thinking about it comparing where we are today to 28 years ago or even last year.....Why are endings so sad?
I am still not divorced yet....crazy I know....and the weirdest part is other than some emails about negotiations....I have not talked to him or seen him. It will be a year on August 31. Words that come to mind are replaceable and diminished.
Sometimes I think that if I was more he wouldn't have done this....But deep down I know I was OK and whatever happened between us was not really a response to me.
This might sound weird but I don't feel hate or harbor any bad feelings. I realize he needed to do what felt right for him and I hope he finds happiness. Not to say I don't have bad days.....
Hope you guys are having a great week.....
There are 2 more homes to share with you:)

Thanks for sharing this gorgeousness. You also shared your feelings and how you are processing everything so beautifully!
Lovely post as always. sending you big hugs.
Hugs to you. You are from all appearances joyful, funny, caring and honest. Some people have a fatal presbyopia and cannot see what is right in front of them.
Your honesty and vulnerability are just some of the reasons why I adore you so. Thank you for being so real. And also beautiful and talented and witty and funny. Sending you love and light!
Hi Sherry,
I’m sorry for what you’re going through. If it was me I would need an answer as to “why”. I think it would be the only I could move on.
Hang in there. The sad days will be fewer & less often.
I think of you so often and what you are going through. My beautiful daughter has just been told that her husband of 8 1/2 years wants a divorce. She. Is. Devastated. You have handled your situation with such grace and dignity that I pray we can do the same. We are going back and forth...she is three hours away...getting her into a short term lease..and trying to support her as best we can. Please keep us in Your thoughts and send good vibes😊
Hugs,
Sharon
For some reason we as women tend to blame ourselves for others failures. Don't fall into that trap. Maybe it's the generation we were born into but the guilt needs to go. Obviously he has serious problems that he had to skip out while you were gone instead of being an adult and sitting down to discuss his decision to leave the marriage. I hate cowardly acts and he was (and is) a coward. Continue to help yourself in being the best woman you can be. You're fabulous!
Listen to that deep down voice it's the one that speaks the truth
Sherry, I wish that I was able to send you the book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. It is all about each one of us being enough. I just got copies for two friends who are widowed. Life is HARD but we are all enough and you are such an inspiration to so many of us........all your readers....gorgeous, super talented, hysterically funny..... the list goes on. Thank you for all of the honesty and grace you have demonstrated during this ultra challenging time. I have found so much inspiration on these pages.
You and Pam must have so much fun together! Wish we lived close! I love the bathroom, kitchen and that darling #thecollectedlook vignette next to the bed. Love how she combined the old and new in that charming room. You are a warrior Sherry!
Couldn’t agree more with everyone’s comments - you are a treasure! Love, love, love Pam’s creativity. You all have very similar aesthetics. I also adore those butterflies. Any chance she would share where she found them?
Oh Sherry, of course it’s hard. I’m glad that you seem to be moving on in a happy direction. What a mystery people are! I always tell my daughter that you can’t take things personally what other people chose to do or say. We can’t always understand others’ actions.
Thanks for showing your friend’s work. It is lovely. Especially love the bathroom!
Sherry, love all the comments and totally agree that you are a very special woman and a treasure. We can all learn something from you grace and dignity in troubled times. Thanks for sharing this wonderful 1 bedroom house. My favorite thing is the butterfly installation. The bathroom is pretty great too. Stay strong!
You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Firstly - that home is gorgeous ! Absolutely beautiful.
Secondly - please, please don't look for reasons in within yourself, or try to blame yourself, for what another person DID TO YOU ! It is very obvious that he has or had a problem going on inside, of which you knew nothing about. I agree with a commenter above that we as women tend to try to 'blame' ourselves, and this just isn't so in this case. The problem lies with him and him alone - I pray for peace and contentment for you. I don't know you personally, but I can see from your work on this blog that you are a very successful and independent woman. I know (from experience) it is still very hard to see that perhaps in the long run this will be just where you need to be. God Bless you and please accept a big virtual hug from a 'sister'......
Hi Sherry,
I feel you!
Divorce is tough under the best of circumstances and not communicating
with him after 28 years (like really talking) must be strange and painful. Obviously he’s
unable to express himself and lovingly transition into a different kind of relationship.
That was clear from the beginning in the way he moved out.
I am divorced and my ex has not been able to be a friend either....but I know
it’s for the best. So often when something is taken away dramatically, it is
because it is truly not meant to be. It’s like the universe saying “if you’re not going to address this stuff, then
we’re going to take care of it for you”. And as much as I have missed communicating with him, I
feel relief that I no longer have to live with the put downs, the anger and abuse. That’s what it was unfortunately.
I believe that there’s a whole new fabulous and sexy chapter for you right around the corner!
That’s what happened for me.
Hang tough, the good stuff is on it’s way!
XO, Ellie
I was with two of your buds when the NEWS came out!

BEST PET EVER!!!EASY EASY EASY!
YOUR GIRLFRIENDS will FIND SOMEONE to take YOU OUT!!!

Do not blame yourself for his issues! You are enough as you are! He is the one with the problems. Keep your sense of humor, it keeps you sane. I think it is best not to have any communications with him. He would no doubt use it as an excuse to blame you for his lacking. Turn the page in the book to a new chapter! I think you are doing that now. Just try not to glance back at the old ones.

I took my divorce as I was not enough or something was greatly wrong with me. He cheated on me in our first year of marriage so that was tough. After a few difficult years, I knew that this had absolutely nothing to do with me and it was his issue not mine. I was a good wife and friend. He is on his third marriage now. Go figure.
My life is a wonderful place. I learned so much from that experience.
Sherry, you continue to be in my prayers daily. As everyone here has said, you are incredible and we are all sending you a hug. So glad you got to have a vacation and see beauty.
I admire you greatly for who you are
