Pretty

~ Pretty ~

How important pretty is to you?
In my world it's much more than
pretty important.
It's not frivolous ... it colors my world.
The simple fact of whether or not
 I am surrounded by pretty on any given day
effects how I feel, how inspired I am,
how much energy I have,
what I create.
And I'm very aware of it.



In the world of form vs. function,
my vote always falls with form,
for if the right form {pretty} isn't there ...
I don't function quite as well.
Do you?

In my life made up of days
and days made up of  hours
and hours made up of a collection of

~ small moments ~
I like the challenge of looking for ways
as I decorate my new home
to make those moments
as pretty as possible.
Something to make me excited for the day,
excited for a luxurious shower,
excited about what I will wear,
excited about breakfast.

There are many, many pretty things
that bring me joy ... following are a few things that
I find always add prettiness to my days
and in turn make me feel contented and happy
when I'm surrounded by them ...

An organized nightstand,
since it's the first thing I see in the morning ...
 

A serene bedroom with clean, fresh bed linens ...

Instead of wire hangers ...


Adding a new seasonal pretty thing
to my closet to look forward to ..


Artfully arranged vignettes ...




My eye finds balanced groupings
 pretty and pleasing ...


... and, of course, fresh flowers ...


These are just a few of the pretty things
that I plan on placing throughout the house
to make my days just that much nicer ...
what are some pretty things
that make your days happier?

By the way, I was interviewed recently
by the lovely Vanessa of

I hope every one of you has a very pretty week!
