A little bit closer

Little things mean a lot.

A cushion, a pillow, a rhinestone, a rock, each has its place in this room

Balance and color, texture and light, it all comes together in this room.

Put them all together (and I did. I put each one together, screw by screw, bolt by bolt, with blood and sweat and not a single tear.)

Starting in the center with an old fashioned wing chair,  I have added a couch and pillows, a side table and then the decoration on top, (Amethyst geodes from Brazil, spider plants from Bloomington, hand made pillows from India, even a tower of rocks balanced one upon the other to remind me that a balanced life brings a sense of security and a feeling that all's right in the world.)

There is more to come, but I am building this room one item at a time, choosing only those things I really love, because I want to be surrounded by that kind of atmosphere.

And I'm a little bit closer.
