Well, it’s mid-January. The holidays are over. The parties are a thing of the past. The decorations are stored away. Your spirit has gone away with them.
There is always such a sense of excitement as Christmas
approaches. Then, after weeks of
celebrating and decorating, the season comes to a screeching halt. Much toil, and much less joy, go into packing
all of the ornaments and lights away for another year.
At first, the simplicity of the holiday-decoration-free
house feels refreshing and a bit “Zen.”
But then, after a few days of gray New Year’s winter skies, your
interiors feel just plain drab, dull, and maybe even a little sad.
There’s a quick, easy, and inexpensive
(usually!) fix that will lift your mood immediately: toss a couple colorful
pillows on your sofa, bed, or favorite reading chair!
I dare you to go into the nearest Pier 1 store,
head over to the “Pillow Wall,” and not get a smile on your face!
There is nothing that will brighten your mood
faster than section after section of vivid silks, lively patterns and inviting
textures.
And as you wander around the showroom, you will be inspired by little vignettes that prove the power of the pillow!
Once you arrive home with
your plump poofs, your rooms will react the same way that you did in the store… with joy
and enthusiasm!
There are endless sources for fabulous pillows
in the home furnishings world these days... Here are just a few that I found that prove you don’t have to live with
the Winter Doldrums!
