Last week I took on some deep cleaning in the living and dining room. You know the kind...where you move all the furniture into the middle of the room and clean behind it...and you clear off all the surfaces and dust and then edit what goes back and where...
We had some company in town last week due to a family wedding.
Nothing like a little motivation to get things going!!
I LOVE having company and enjoy entertaining in our home.

I LOVE having company and enjoy entertaining in our home.
I took some pictures once I was finished...'cause you know those rooms just wouldn't be the same once the weekend was over!! And the sun was shining in so gloriously I couldn't resist!
I thought I'd share today and maybe even start a weekly series that would help motivate me to keep things nice and tidy around here.
I created this new vignette on the dining room table...using a mirror I bought at the local thrift shop for $2. The accessories I had in other spots in the room before.
I like to change things up and move things around.
My Christmas Cactus is still blooming!
(This is really helping to get me through all the winter that still resides outside our windows!)
This next spot became a favourite of mine the last couple of afternoons...
a great spot to read and nap!
Putzing, cleaning and changing things up...my idea of a great day!

DeleteIt is lovely seeing the sun shine into your home. Your vignette looks lovely and that is a great way to use a mirror.
ReplyDeleteLinda - I brought that mirror home and didn't know where to use it. It's been sitting here for a few weeks waiting patiently to find a home...
DeleteYour room looks wonderful and the sun really highlighted everything beautifully. I like the colors and accents a lot. I always look forward to seeing my Christmas Cactus blooming. I think mine is 3 yrs. old now. It seems to be a pretty easy plant to care for- no big issues. I hope your entertaining was enjoyable!
