This or That?
I am instituting a "This or That?" poll every Friday for my readers (all two of you!) I want to know which space you prefer and why. For the record, I am torn. I adore Alberto Pinto but love a mid-century modern room like nobody's business either. I've been dying to get my hands on a Platner piece for oh so long.

The Zen Factor
Well, my first assignment was to address the need to get away in our own homes. I know, from experience, that your home can be the most stressful place to be! Make an effort to de-clutter, it will make a HUGE difference in the way you feel in your space. If the task seems too daunting, have a friend come over and help. A person that is not emotionally attached to your clutter is just the ticket. I also would advise bringing the outdoors in. Buy a bunch of flowers and put them next to your bed. Don't wait for your man...it may never happen. The color and the scent will refresh your senses. Lastly, pick a room and really put some effort into making that your restful space. Whether that is your bedroom, bathroom or closet (make sure you can lock the door) infuse a sense of beauty and peace. Keep it sacred!
It's the small things
Let's face it, sometimes all we need is to unwind is to treat ourselves to something sweet. Pull out your best china and celebrate life.
Pretty Bedroom
There is no zen space like one that has a very high thread count, blackout curtains and some fresh flowers. Make your bedroom the happiest room in the house!
