empty nest…..

….again.

Well Christmas is over, the kids have come and gone, and I’m left with an empty nest….again.

Now, one might think that this is a sad time (it is), but I like to look  forward to what’s ahead.  And just what am I to do with an empty nest?? RE-FEATHER IT!!

As the New Year rings in I plan to reorganize, redecorate and see what vintage  treasures I can drag home. I have also found some great inspiration on pinterest.

I have a cupboard to paint.

But what color?

French grey?

Or white?

Another project I am hoping to do is finish my laundry/mud room. This is just one of the inspirations I stumbled across.

Now that the kids have returned to their respective places of residence, I plan to completely redo the back bedroom into my own studio/office/sewing space.

After all a woman can dream can’t she?

As you can see I love white, vintage, and I love open storage.

Well, neat and tidy storage.

Well, styled and decorated storage.

Actually I love beautiful things, but some things must be stored out of sight. So how about in some of these?

Or perhaps proudly displayed like these……

What decorating, reorganizing or projects are you hoping to do in 2012? I would love to hear from you. Plenty of ideas running through my mind, what about you?

Happy New Year!
