Have you ever just sat and looked at your space and been tempted to throw everything out? Wait, take a breath, one or two new spots of color, blown glass, colored tin, beautiful vase, will freshen up the whole room. Re-arrange the furniture, hang a new painting, look for something at a flea market to paint. There are many ways to add some 'flair'. Use chicken wire for photos, throw those old suitcases in the mix, wallpaper a wall with newspaper, magazine pictures, or photos. May is a great time to be creative for a fresh look.
Whether you believe in global warming or not, it's great to conserve, repurpose, and respect the earth. Recover one of those old chairs that's been in the attic. Drive slowly down the street on pick up day to spot the next creative conversation piece. Strip, stain, glue, duck tape, paint, sand, tile, grout, plant, cover.....Change. Remember one person's junk is another's treasure. Send your before and after photos to be entered in May's drawing at Sanctuary Sanctorum.
