One Step at a Time

Decorating isn't as fun for me as it used to be.  I used to enjoy "the hunt" for just the right piece to fit in just the right spot.  And I found pleasure in garage sale and flee market finds that I could go home and "re-purpose"for my current decorating tastes.

Kids, schedules, commitments, and conflicting design ideas reduce the joy of decorating to more of a function than a fun action.  Regardless, I try to squeeze in a little bit pretty whenever I can; one step at a time.  Today I gave the guest bathroom a quick pick-me-up.  I moved the towels from under the sink (where they were getting pushed and piled into such a mess that I'd have to wash them before I could offer them to company) to a rack on the wall.  And I brought some color and life into a bathroom that is usually dim with the shades drawn (since the window faces the road...and who wants to pull their drawers down in front of an open window?).

It's not much, but the cabinet under the sink is neater now, the guest towels are up and out of the way, and the flowers are pleasing to look at when I go in to do...whatever I went in there to do.
