Anyone else love the satisfaction of cleaning up after Christmas?
I love Christmas, I really do... but there's something so satisfying about everything being put back in order. As a teacher, I capitalize on putting it away early, which gives me more time to enjoy my clean, well as clean as it will ever be with a 3 and 6 year old, living room before it's back to school time.
So because I cleaned, I'm obviously dreaming of new furniture and new spaces for the new year. I find myself repeatedly going back to my mantle for inspiration. After the Christmas stuff has come down, it's very winter-y and exactly the feel I want for my house...
Blues and beige, with natural wood, a little bit of sparkle, and the feeling of being near the beach...
I love this color scheme and love that it can spread through the whole year, with some yellow and white flowers added in for the Spring, or some deeper browns and maroons for the fall. I have a few favorite pieces that have been sitting in my online carriages, just waiting for me to push the "Submit Order"...
Sofa: Ektorp from Ikea / with Chaise
Sideboard: A TV stand from Walmart in weathered or blue / White from IKEA
Dining set: White set from IKEA / Honey Wood Set from Walmart
Rug: White Wool from Target
Desk: Weathered Wood from Wal-Mart
I think they'd look so amazing in the house!
Anyone else find they want to rearrange everything and order all new furniture after you take down the holiday decorations?
