It's mid-February and spring is nearly approaching. You get home from a long work day and find yourself in your quiet space to decompress with your glass of wine or cup of tea. You kick your shoes off, you're ready to unwind from the day but then you notice "The Chair". Yes, everyone knows the chair.
You often find yourself piling it up, not intentionally but it has a mountain of clothing that didn't quite reach the closet. You have books that didn't find their way to the reading nook, better yet, a few toys from the kids that played quietly so you didn't notice that the toys didn't make it to their playroom. You start to itch and say out loud, "Oh Lord, this mess is so not me."
Out comes the duster and Swiffer Mop and all your cleaning products galore. After that's done you say to yourself, "Hmmm, this room is boring, it needs a little bit more." So you quickly run out to your favorite linen or home supply store, with ideas that you've brainstormed. You're on a budget so you can't buy out the whole store, but a few items will do for now.It's all about color to bring this room back to life! Vibrant yet elegant; yes that will suffice. You pick out new sheer turquoise curtains to cover the window that you like to look out and watch the sunset. You pick up a cute turquoise pillow and thermal blanket to decorate "the chair" that is a white microfiber material and you tell yourself it will no longer be neglected because now it has style.
Completed, you push the chair over to your window just in time to watch the sunset with your glass of wine and notepad as you begin to write your "to-do-list" and unwind. Next time you'll add a bit more because this is an empty room with decorations to explore!
