Sanctuary

My minimalist movement is about making my entire home a sanctuary.  Having subtracted a great number of things, I am finding what I really need to honor my core values.  This weekend we re-homed a dining room table and chairs to a friend.  He was very grateful and so was I because it made space for me to create a lounge area.  I envision my lounge area as a space to spend my early mornings giving the dogs their morning loves, enjoying my coffee, blogging, and other seated tasks.  It's to be a place of retreat.

I emptied the room and used a great steam cleaner from Home Depot.  The carpet needed some refreshing now that the puppy is house trained.  The walls are a chocolate brown with a chair rail and white on the bottom.  I plan to brighten up the space with a light blue color.  The new furniture will be delivered Monday. Beyond that, I'm in no rush to decorate.  I want to keep things as uncluttered as possible.  What items I do add will be for the purpose of bringing nature indoors.

Looking forward to sharing pictures.
