Let’s Be Positive

I don’t know about you, but all the bad news I hear about every day can be very depressing. While the economy and real estate market is in a slump, there are so many small things we can do in our homes to lift our spirits.
It makes sense to me to spend a little to enhance what we already have. Simple changes such as a vase of brightly colored flowers strategically placed to catch your eye when you walk in the door from a long day will lift your mood. Silk flowers have become so realistic that you can enjoy their beauty indefinitely.
Think about a couple of new scented candles or a diffuser to bring the fall scent of nature indoors. Maybe a fun new lamp with a playful shade is the missing piece on a not so special table.
Often times it’s those little touches we give to our homes that really make the difference. As economic conditions have resulted in most of us spending more time at home, it’s more important than ever to do whatever we can to feel good in our environment. Whether home values are rising or falling, the investment we make there both financially and emotionally is one of the biggest investments in our life. So, let’s create a joyful space for ourselves and our families.
