A New Year : A New Space for Yourself...

• As the new year begins...to me it's all about new beginnings and changing your perspective on your environment...

• So as you think about how you can change your own home environment...why not think about creating a space for yourself...whether it be a home office, a craft room or just a place to gather your favorite things...

• Surround yourself with things that inspire and motivate you...You are creating a foundation for your everyday life that will motivate and uplift you...

• These images are of a home office space I designed that was meant to give the homeowner a haven to be creative at home...

• So let these images and details inspire you to create a haven of your own...

• Whether you surround yourself with your favorite photographs, travel mementos or things your kids have created...Let the details come together in a way that inspires you!

• Maybe you treat yourself to a few new things...accessories, props or just a simple bunch of flowers to finish off your new space...

• Maybe you want to take a more Zen approach to this year ahead...think about bringing in some things from nature too...

• Create simple moments...tabletops or other surfaces where you can put your favorite things out...

• De-cluttering and getting organized is big...do that first and everything else will fall into place...

• Happy New Year and may 2011 be a great year for all of us!
