inspired at home

while i've been inspired by several different things lately (and I really will post about them soon!), things in my home have captured my attention as well.

such as open doorways. which is quite a treat at the end of October around these parts.

a potion. after purchasing a new burner specifically for the den (and it looks lovely in there) and since we spend so much of our time in that part of the house right now - out on the patio creating, in the den watching the tellie, coloring and painting, on the computers, building - on and on it goes... i thought that i needed a "den" potion.
i have a potion of oils for just about every occasion, including a few different "happy home" blends.
but for the den, i wanted something special. specifically for our activities there.
creativity.
harmony.
balance.
happiness.
interested?
there's clary sage for creativity, cedar, geranium, and lavender for harmony and balance, bergamot for joy, and lavender for love.
delicious, i tell you.

this.i've planned to put up plaids (vertical and horizontal stripes) in my son's room for quite some time. not on the entire walls, but about half-way up. i'll leave this bead-board wall plain, however. here are the colors that i have already, and see how gorgeous they'll be with his decor.
inspiring, indeed!

a clean room.plenty of room for inspiration-- book reading and tea parties and kitchen and other imaginary play.
a clean house.
with the sunlight streaming in.

there's much love at home.
