January
seems like the perfect time to freshen up things around the house.
It's kind of like fluffing the nest before a long cold spell. After
taking down Christmas decorations, I like simplicity and cozy corners
for winter relaxation.
Last
week we updated our guest room with a clean coat of light grey paint
and rearranged the furniture. I packed away memories and pared down
knick-knacks. An older soft quilt in navy, hunter green and burgundy
makes the bed just the right spot for a nap.
Having
a comfortable, warm place to call home is important to me. It
doesn't have to be expensive or fancy, just a simple, basic place
where my sweetheart and I can enjoy life, retirement, and our
hobbies. Home is our sanctuary.
