A strange thing happened to me on the weekend. I felt a sense of calm and clarity that has been missing for a long time. I opened my computer and did a search for some decorating blogs. Can you believe it? I can’t!
I haven’t had an inkling of decorating urge for the longest time. At least 5 years, and that’s a generous estimate. I’ve had 74 lime lane in my reader for a little while, but have been just glancing over the posts. Well on the weekend, I did a dig deep into the archives there. Oh, the cuteness and inspiration. I spent far too long immersed in etsy. I even subscribed to Martha Stewart’s blog for goodness sake!
Then I went to the library and borrowed some decorating magazines.
It’s all very weird. But nice. I feel like I’m ready to tackle the mundaneness of the house and finally put a stamp on it. Finally, after years of just cleaning up and making it look presentable, I’m inspired.

Even more remarkable is I took action. Yes, I finally found a use for the cute white frames that have been sitting in the corner of the study for 2 years. I’ve printed out the images from this post and arranged them (very artistically, if you don’t mind) in the girls’ room. I hung a mirror in there for them, too for a bit extra pizzaz. Who would have known that all it took to get them out of my bathroom was a mirror on their bedroom wall? I should’ve done that one a looooong time ago.
So here’s to my new decorating urge. I don’t know how long it’ll last, but I’m going to enjoy it while it’s here.
