Daily Creativity: Your Unique Living Space

What you choose to surround yourself with gives others insight into your personality and your charcter. For this reason I never believed in "Interior Decorating" for others. In my mind, this is different than design. Design is solving space and functional problems, Decorating is adding the personal touches that make a house a home.
For several months now, we've been in a new space, and not sure how long we would be here... so I haven't taken the time to personalize much. It has gotten to the point where I need to do something to make it ours. I have started in some small ways... putting up art work and family photos. But there are some large pieces of furniture that I really don't care for and that don't really function well for us. So those are on the To Do list to design and get built. But until then, I don't really know what to do with the space. I guess I can go ahead and plan and dream.
To make matters worse, I have recently realized how much I have been neglecting myself. I am now making it a point to at least take the time to put on makeup each day. Next step is taking a serious look at my clothes and weeding out those that don't fit or have holes in them, then replacing them with items that look good and say what I want them to say about me.

So... what would my ideal living space say about me? It will be comforting and inviting. All the furniture will be functional and look good. My overall color scheme are what  I call "Fresh Nature"... Dark Denim Blue, Sky Blue, Leaf Green, Kahki, and White. These colors to me say, "I'm kinda laid back, but far from boring beige." I like to have and overall color scheme for the whole house, and then give individual rooms their own accent colors. This way, there is no worry about "flow" in the house, every thing will work well together.




My Colors

  I like this color scheme, because I can add a pop of orange for energy in the boy's room or some dark sage green to be more calming in our bedroom.
