spring....cleaning!!!

"I really love to clean. It's not anything compulsive, it's just that you can

see a difference when you're through. Not like raising kids or something that you're

not sure how it's going to turn out for a couple of decades."

-Jill Churchill, Farewell to Yarns

I've had this quote hanging in my house for several years now...when I get discouraged about cleaning it reminds me of how much I love the end result! We are cleaning out our attic, in hopes of finishing it, so I've been sorting and cleaning and tupperware-ing everything this weekend! And in the process have been dreaming of the new space this will free up....hopefully we can have a new family workroom! Here are some dreamy ideas! -E

mmmm, i love the bright colors!

a functional space right in the middle of everything...and i love that piece of art...been following it for a while! "Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come!"

and this is my all time favorite!!! look at those sliding doors!

a few more just to ponder...
