Where does the time go? This new year has found me discarding a lot of things. Last year was my revelation about so many things in life --- furniture, people, locale. I came home and saw things so much clearer. For that, I am eternally grateful.
A lighter foyer
This year finds me cleaning out. Cleaning out furniture, cleaning out gardens, removing gardens, cleaning the schmutz off my life. Everywhere. It is a good thing.
I mean - how much do we really need? The less we have, the closer we are to ourselves. I often find it humorous that we begin our lives with little. The bareness of it all is our beginning. We accumulate, and accumulate until we choke on the stuff. Then we disgard, giving it to those who are gathering.
From the fireplace
Off with my two antique chairs. Cane chairs. Off with my tiny tin table. Yes, I do love alliteration. Maybe off with the umbrella stand, too. I just moved that to my hall so it is on the way to the garage. Why oh why have I kept these things so long? Time to order a few new pieces of furniture. Soon.
I may add the two wicker chairs in the sunroom to the front porch. The newly made cushions don't work color wise because I made them for the New Hampshire apartment, but that is easily resolved. I have solid red cushions that I had made and they still work!
I'll also restain the end table that goes between them this weekend. I like the walnut currently on this and that just might work. It will be a whole new look and that...makes me happy.
Til the next time loyal readers. Thanks for following me!
