I have been getting ready for my weeks of recovery, which come to find out just meant more work for me, for some reason I felt it necessary to get everything in order. Cleaned and styled most of my home, things had to be moved to allow for crutches, a wheel chair and a walker, so my paths had to be widened in all rooms I planned on being in, but I wanted everything to look beautiful and soothing when I was able to start moving around. Tomorrow is my surgery and I just wanted to let you know I won't be blogging much for the next few weeks, but I am taking the time to redesign and work on my monthly newsletter. You were probably wondering what you signed up for!?
So I will leave you with a touch inspiration.....

Spring is a time for renewal ... Faith, Family, Home and Business are all areas in our lives that can benefit from renewed energy and focus. Spring is when I focus much more on my own surroundings, after spending the winter months decorating for the holidays, and pouring over magazines, books and even getting ideas from movies while I was snuggling up during the bad weather, I feel the urge to renew and redo.
Shabby chic is my passion but I am also drawn to modern pieces, so I am trying to find the right blend for my own home. Gemini, go figure. The rooms I pick out to share with you may have one element that inspires me or it may be the entire room.... here are a few more that I hope inspire you too.

I love this kitchen ...

I adore the simplicity of this space... I don't care much for wood chairs so I would probably add parson chairs with white velvet or chenille slipcovers for texture and comfort and I think that would give me the modern feeling I look for...

Chairs should make you want to linger at the table for chit chat with friends and family before and after a meal...

I am outfitting every window in my home with gauze this year ...

I would change the canopy to a sheer white gauze
but need I say more about this bedroom ....

another great fireplace mantle...

and a little touch of Spring for you.
What inspiration does Spring bring for you?
Have a wonderful week.
Enjoy your moments,
