The Home Should
be a Personal Place That Nurtures the Soul and Restores the Spirit!
Restful and serene interiors
that reflect nature and use the beauty of organic materials are the hallmark
of a restorative home. Luscious silk, fine cotton, textural linen, the
warmth of wood and the earthiness of stone are a few tactile choices that
awaken the sense of touch and sight.
Enjoy beautifully scented
candles, fresh fragrant flowers and perhaps create a “memories” potpourri
filled with shells collected on seaside vacations, dried flowers received
as gifts, champagne corks from life’s celebrations or other special things
that evoke fond memories.
Comforting sounds
such as recordings of wind chimes or bird song and soft music playing in
the background along with the laughter of friends and family imbue a feeling
of peace and contentment.Hand crafted bowls filled with scrumptious fruits
give you a renewed appreciation for nature’s bounty.Family heirlooms, collected
treasures and old books are wonderful for those contemplative moments.
Choose soft color palettes
to impart a calming ambiance or darker colors to embrace and cocoon. Color
is very personal, you should choose those that make you feel peaceful and
happy and wrap yourself in them! Clear out clutter and do some spring cleaning.
Remove anything that has a negative vibe. It’s great, cheap therapy that
will create a positive, happy energy in your home!
Finally, immerse yourself
in the beauty and serenity of art and objects that bring nature and
sunlight into your home. You will feel grounded and reconnected to Mother
Earth!
The home as sanctuary, a place to nourish
the soul and restore the spirit, will be the focus of my ongoing studies
and career. I hope you will visit often and experience the exciting journey
with me!
