I love going on vacation this time of year because when you come home after only a week away there are so many changes. The temperatures have warmed by 10 degrees, the swelling buds on the trees have begun to explode into flowers, the sun shines brighter, and the birds chirp louder . . . or so it seems.
I enjoy changing out the bookcases in our den with the Seasons.
Since Spring is about to burst forth I’ve added a lot of green accents.
All reflected in mirrors collected from various thrift stores and from around the house (you can read all about my Brilliant Mirrored Bookcases right HERE).
With St. Paddy’s Day right around the corner my little leprechauns have joined in the fun.
This little guy reminds me of my father who felt so strongly tied to his Irish roots.
I think it’s pretty great of Mr. OTN to let me rummage through his office for books of green.
This is his favorite room to relax in after a long day at work and he actually takes great delight in my making it a comfortable place for him to come home to.
Do you have a favorite room? The rooms that we spend the most time in can become kind of messy and neglected but I believe it’s important to take care to make these rooms as welcoming as any other part of the home. These spaces can be real sanctuaries, places of escape from the outside world.
Is the weather becoming Springlike yet where you live? Have you begun any Spring cleaning or Spring decorating? Sometimes we just have to start the ball rolling and wait for the weather to follow!
Almost Spring blessings to you my friends 😉
