As many of you know, one of my passions is design and decorating. I've been in the midst of re-making my space for quite a while now, and last weekend made significant headway... drum roll, please..... I now present to you my living space.
New sofa and chair in a mid-century modern style... gorgeous lime green slubbed fabric with button detail on the sofa... and the chair is a woven mocha ... both purchased from Stacy O's in Saginaw, MI. Also new is the TV cart (IKEA), the tables (which really are very very very similar to the style in Pottery Barn) that I found for a fraction of the cost on Overstock.com (gotta love the Overstock...) and the rug (one of my friends said that it reminds her of 'pepples' because of the size of the felted wool) is one of the softest I've ever experienced (also from Overstock).
The furniture pieces are slightly smaller scale so they don't dwarf the space... the tables, glass and iron to let the light and air dance through the room.
For me the key has been in visualizing what I'd like my space to look like... feel like.... and I wanted it to be a real reflection of me.... the woman I am today.
The best part.... I was able to make my purchases with the money from the items I sold that have been cluttering up my space that I was ready to release on Craig's List and Ebay.... and I sold my old furnture on Craig's List, too!
Baxter approves.

tisket, tasket, longaberger basket

I'm hoping to part with most of my Longaberger Baskets this weekend.... a wonderful friend is allowing me to leverage space at her storefront in Evanston for the Sidewalk Sales. Longaberger Baskets have been part of my life for over 25 years... OH MY GOD... lol... it seems a lifetime ago.
Another friend of mine commented when I told her of my plan, 'isn't it funny how easily we can let go of things that at one time were so important to us...?'
I'm celebrating the shifting and decluttering of my space (both internal and external)...
What shifts are you experiencing.... how does it bring you joy?
... scatter joy...
