Romancing our homes

Hello  sweet friends!

Does making decor changes to your home ever seem

too overwhelming and you just don't know where to begin?

Well if that's you....how about just beginning with one corner of a room?

Just making small changes when you feel the inspiration

can make a big difference.

Of course we can't change and decorate everything at once,

but if we'll begin small,

we can be on the road to a great start in our homes.

 

Today  I decided to change my bedside end table

into a romantic little dressing table instead.

It gives a look of romance and adds a softness

as well.

I just put a frilly pink curtain on top of the table.

 I had purchased it

from a thrift shop earlier this summer.

I added an old mirror in the center,

and placed an old

 broken piece off of our old weathered adirondack chair on the top of the mirror.

 

I find that when I see an interesting piece of "something or other" from around the house or the garage,

I keep it and set it aside until I am inspired for its new use.

 

 

My recent grocery store  roses  have dried nicely

and I hung them beside the mirror to bring some femininity

 to the roughness of the wood.

 

I added a home-made  heart

 that I cut out, sewed and stuffed

 from a frilly sleeveless top

 which had been hanging around for years.

 

 

I added a gorgeous tea-light or candle-holder

which I purchased at Thanksgiving

at one of my favourite little country decor shops

in Bancroft.

This will bring some warmth and a little glow

before bed.

I love it!

 

 

And then I added just a few of my own  personal touches..

sand dollars  that my brother brought me back from his trip to Florida.
My favourite dream journal from my lovely friend,

Michelle

I use this journal for home decor ideas and thoughts for gifts, etc.

My  pink covered Bible looks pretty here too.

My husband bought me a new one; a girly one

for our Anniversary this year.

Adding your own touches makes your space more personal...

it doesn't have to be done in a day.

Just add as you feel the inspiration come.

 

 

 

So go ahead and start with some small area of your home,

and work with that.

Once you've done that, you can get inspired for another small area,

and before you know it, you'll be well on your way

to making some big changes that started with small beginnings.

 

My side of the bed feels a little more romantic now.

:)

Hugs!

 

All my heart,

Deborah xo
