Sweet escape

At this very moment I write to you from the place in my home that go to relax, to sleep, to read, to get ready for the day and to escape. The place of course is my bedroom. I have chosen colors I love and that I know will soothe my soul no matter how tired or stressed out I may be. Today, I was just looking for a nice place to sit and think and so... here I find myself, tucked underneath my favorite brown quilt from IKEA. The blinds are open and the sun shining through them and it is mid-day. A beautiful Fall day that is inspiring me to do so many things.

I look around my room and realize I have taken much of the time spent in our new home to make this one room suit me and my hubby. And it does. It is the kind of room that makes me want to drink my coffee in bed and have lazy Saturday mornings with my daughter who often tip-toes in silently in the wee hours of the morning. It is...almost finished and I can't wait to have the perfect sweet escape. Whether it be from my stress at work, everyday life, my family, or the rest of my house which has yet to be finished...it is glorious.

I am currently tucking myself away from the sounds of my 4 year old daughter and nephew who are dancing to the Mickeymouse Clubhouse song for the 14th time(at least I think it's 14) and so I am blogging from my laptop which I do not have access to photos on. I plan to post some of the beginning photos of our bedroom and the phases I have gone through to get where I am. It's simple, but it's my work and simple is the way I wanted it.

Again, like the last challenge (finding comfort sites)I put out there... I challenge you to find a sweet escape in your home. It could be your bedroom, kitchen(especially if you love to cook), your bathroom(hey, what you do is your business) or even your porch. Whatever it is make sure it's some place that makes you feel warm and relaxed. Often times we find ourselves confined by the chaos that occurs around us in daily life. A blue room or a soft throw can do wonders for your well being. You'd be surprised. In fact....I'm feeling so relaxed I think I'll take a mid-Sunday nap. I haven't had one of those in a while. I'm sure the nap and I will get along quite nicely. Until next time.... be persnickety, because you can.
