From Clutter to Calm

I don't know about you, but there is something about the start of a new year that makes me want to freshen up my home.  I know lots of people head to the gym, or start a new diet but for some reason I feel the need to purge the clutter, get rid of the accummulated junk that seems to take over around the holidays.

 

I love this simple, crisp and uncomplicated bedroom.  I think removing all unnecessary clutter helps me sleep better and relieves stress. 

 

Today marks the return to school for my children and I have a list a mile long that I want to accomplish!

 

Hope your holiday were filled with friends and family and lots of joy!

New Project

I think I've mentioned before that I have 3 daughters....The one in the middle is 12 and is in dire need of a room makeover.  I've been putting off this project for some time just because she's in that transitional stage and I really only want to do this one more time!  I showed her this photo, and she loved it.  She's an old soul, and I think this room would be perfect for her with a little tweaking.

What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts! 

Saturday Love....

I love all the cool textures in these images...that horse photo is to die for!!

Have a wondeful Saturday, live well.....

Loving Lace

Lace is everywhere these days...in home decorating and in fashion. I can remember as a child sifting through my grandmother's cedar chest and finding stack upon stack of old lacy doilies, tablecloths and scraps of fabric. So beautiful and delicate.

Hope your Monday is off to a wonderful start...live well....

Friday Inspiration

I'm in love with these brick walls....I'm so happy it's Friday, hoping your weekend is wonderful! live well....

Simple Sunday Mornings

Happy Sunday...I have so much to do today, but like the bed in this picture, mine too was very difficult to get out of this morning. Only the longing for coffee and toast with a tiny sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar could pull me out from under the covers.

One thing that is truly divine....SUNSHINE!! After what seems like forever with thick, heavy, snow filled clouds, we have bright, mood-lifting sun this morning. I spent a few quiet, extra minutes looking out my kitchen window at the beauty of it all....live well...
