The Grown Up Room

The sun is shining and the spring cleaning at home has begun. I am a happy gal :-) Baby steps of course but at least its is a beginning! My garage is a nightmare and that's the first place I need to tackle. Do you ever get the feeling that on some days you love your house and on other days you just want to run away :-) Let me explain.....that happens to me a lot with all the chaos around me. Toys littered everywhere, endless laundry, papers that are sitting around but never get looked at......you get the drift :-)

Well, to solve my problem, I devote one room to me! It is the grown up room in the house. It is my space with an imaginary "Do not Enter" sign as per my convenience :-) The sign is for the family members to enforce that hubby and the kids keep their mess out of here :-)

Does it help to define spaces? I think it does especially with small kids. Eventually the kids will learn to keep things in order and within their own space. I am a long way from there......but then hopefully we shall get there SOMEDAY :-)

So here's my "Grown up" room while the rest of the house looks like a tornado has hit it :-)

I recently received a gift for my birthday. A lovely tray which is now the centerpiece on my dining table. Thank you S :-)

Here's a  full view of the cabinet I found at a local antique store. I like how my family heirlooms have a good home!

Here's a design tip.... all moms deserve a grown up room. So go ahead and try and create one for yourself :-) How is your week coming along?  I would love to hear from you.
