If, down the road I want a red living room instead of blue, it's only a matter of changing out the throw pillows and curtains. I don't have to buy new couches and armchairs. I like a change occasionally in my decor, just like you changing out your window sets.Emily and Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981267998985714285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570562833835340893.post-42486527222736424872011-07-22T08:57:14.293-07:002011-07-22T08:57:14.293-07:00Very pretty towels!

It's fun to have a change of scenery for different times of the year. Right now I have a small ceramic pitcher of pretty purple silk flowers, a wooden cutout that says "love" a small cross and a special heart-shaped petrified rock my aunt gave me. In the winter I have these really cute tree cutouts that Blake made on his scroll saw when he was a wee lad and I might put an elk or a deer in there, I change it up all the time and have all kinds of neat stuff to brighten up the window; cheerful sayings, willow tree figurines, just anything that makes me smile inside. The key is to use miniature things and not over-crowd the space. One of my favorites is a plaque that says "simplify". That's always a good reminder!Lorinoreply@blogger.com
