Styling at home? What?
Have you noticed that when life interruptors…hello Covid 19 I’m looking at you!…come your way that more than ever we each need all the peace we can find?
Maybe you need fresh eyes to find your solitude space. That corner of the house you’ve never considered may be your escape route from the chaos of staying in place at home. I have a dedicated office in our home, but it seems in times of quarantine, it’s joint property, or at the very least a place for communication central to happen if they hear I am not on a LIVE or Zoom.
Now I don’t know about you, but I find during this season I need more solitude, more time to step away and BREATHE as we all are functioning from our home. Yesterday I realized I needed to add a little something something to my time in the laundry room. Yes, the one place in our home you can count on there isn’t a crowd clamoring to get to me. Our house builder build a large laundry room and its simply not a place I spend much time being a full time avoider of laundry, but as I visited it yesterday I realized, a little desk, a little lamp and a chair could give me an uninterrupted place to read or to write without interruption. (that’s almost guaranteed based on the way clean clothes do not leave the area!)
Fresh eyes. Do you need fresh eyes on to see the possibilities in your day? It didn’t take me 15 minutes to change what was in the laundry room and it bought me an hour’s worth of peace as I worked on reading a manuscript I needed to read and my devotion too! The bonus? As I had the solitude time, I realized it could be a place to purposefully be as a load finishes and Id have the bonus of getting my reading done to the pleasant humm of the white noise of the dryer while I enjoyed a cup of solitude and my favorite cuppa. What more can you ask? Shhhh, don’t tell, for I even hung up a botanical print above the unused table I brought into the space and it simply transformed the way I feel when I enter the dreaded laundry room.
What are you styling at home? What could you reuse, use differently or change to welcome you home to your space?
