HAPPY FALL!!!! Who is not excited for this glorious time of year? I just love it! The cooler temperatures and change in light have done much to add to my energy level. I usually have TONS of energy later in my pregnancies but it has been slow going this time around. I am blaming it on all the stuff we've done. I gotta blame it on something!
I have a new spring in my step and am excited and have the house decorating juices flowing. It's small steps, but it's coming! In a few weeks we will hopefully be starting on the master bathroom remodel and I will have an update on the plans for in there soon. I'm excited!
Today I thought I'd share something I think is really important in the overall feel of your home and in the way you feel in your home. That is the master bedroom. All too often we put our master bedroom off because "it's just the place we sleep", but to me it's so much more. It's my and my husband's space. It's where we retreat after a long hard day. It's where we rest, rejuvenate, and reconnect to ourselves and each other. To me, it should be the first room you finish and the focus of your efforts to make sure it is the ultimate oasis. It's purpose is so much more than just sleep!
Now I may seem like a huge hypocrite in saying this because currently our master bedroom is anything but an oasis. There are clothes and piles of things all over the place which can only leave after the master bathroom is done. It is painted orange, and while it's a good orange, it's not my idea of an oasis color (although it is prefect for fall ;).
While I can't control the whole room, I can control my bed and a few months ago I finally got new bedding and pillows and I do my best to make the bed everyday (I hate making beds, but love the way I feel when they are made). It's not perfect (the blanket does wrinkle) but it is a bright spot amid a house still in chaos and just doing this one things has helped my spirits immensely.
Sooo, if you are wondering where to focus your energies, and perhaps that extra decorating money, put it into your master bedroom. You deserve an oasis and place where you can recharge and mount your energies for each new day. You won't regret it, I promise!!
Make it a great Tuesday!!
