Holidays are over!
I can't believe the Holidays are over already. I love that time of the year so much that I wasn't ready to let it go just yet. I'm already removing my decorations and it's kind of sad. I love the lights and the tree... maybe that's why I leave my small tree in my studio the whole year... The good news is that the next holiday has my favorite colors! Yep, Valentines day!
I change the cover in my kitchen table and the curtains every season and now I found the most lovely ones. Pink, blue and red. My new favorite combination!!! I found the fabric at Hobby Lobby last year and I made a cushion and the curtains... when I came back for more it was gone... and I haven't found more :( (Is the one with the girls in the kitchen)
I also moved around my furniture ... I kind of get bored easily and tend to change the placement of my stuff to make it look new again. It worked this time! One of my New Year's resolutions is to remove some of the clutter and try to live with what I love and get rid of the rest. So far I've disposed of approx. 6 boxes of stuff that was just there, accumulating dust and taking space.
Now I feel better living in a place with more space. I know I will never have a minimalist house. I'm a pack rat and this is the better I'll get. Besides I have a toddler and she leaves her mark anywhere.
As I was saying... she leaves a trail wherever she's been. As I was taking the pictures of one side of the room she had already taken her crayolas and coloring book and installed herself in the dining room...
But that's what homes are for right? To enjoy and actually live in them. So I will keep doing my effort to maintain it welcoming and cozy. She will do her part living in it and enjoying every room :)
I tried to do the same thing with my studio... but that's something else!!! It was great during the Holidays because I wasn't working. I rearranged lots of stuff to gain space also... but as soon as I started working everything got kind of messy again... Anyway. As I was saying, I started painting again! It's soooooo good! My hands were itching and I was getting hysterical from not being able to work! So this is the result of my first formal painting session (on Etsy if anybody is interested):
Sold :)
What do you think? So far I'm very happy with the results!!

I loved looking at the pictures of your home.
It is always good to try to keep the clutter down - I have a big problem with that, too. I love to collect things that make me smile and change the displays to make them look new. I need to remove my own Christmas decorations now. So sad to see them go back in their boxes again, but I know when I open them up again next year I'll enjoy them all over again anew.
Glad you are painting again. I've found little time of my own lately and can't wait to get back to it, too. It's so therapeutic! Happy New Year!!
I love your house, the colors and the furniture. Seems like we have the same taste.
Beautiful paintings as always. " All you Need is Love" is my favorite.
Que bueno que ya estes pintando de nuevo.

love your work
