Resting Your Eyes
It is time to rest our eyes. To "calm down" your living space this January, why not strip the room of excess color and introduce a few layers of white & cream. You can try softening the room with the glow of candlelight. The votives shown above were cooling on a tray after being filled with melted beeswax. Have you ever smelled beeswax? Heaven!
Maybe you could add a fleece throw in the palest shade of pink. Change the lampshade to a neutral cream or white. Remove the extra items from the room to give your eyes a rest. Instead of stacks of newspapers and magazines, place the one book you are reading on a side table.
Now breathe. A little less visual "noise" will do us all a some good as we welcome the new year.
