Express Yourself!

I think I have Spring Fever!

Every year about this time

I get the incredible urge to redecorate.

Yesterday I read this inspiring article in the Oprah magazine

about design wizard Xorin Balbes's eight steps

for making your home the ultimate

expression of you.

 

Over coffee this morning I thought of

the article again and

decided to take some action.

What better way is there to spend

a day at home.

 

 

So here is my finished product.

A rearranging of furniture, some Ikea curtains

from the closet, and a good cleaning.

 

 

I'm very satisfied with the way it looks.

Very warm and cozy.

 

 

I've always liked my windows exposed but I was

ready for a change.

The curtains should help the room stay

cooler this Summer.

 

I don't know if you will be able to tell anything

from this photo, but this is a little

flower garland I picked up last week

in Asheville.  I just strung it in front of the windows.

Now that is the

 "ultimate expression of me".

 

 

 Do you remember my oak

school room table?

PAINTED IT!

(Not today, last month)

 

 



Well, there you have it.

What a great day!
