Hello sweet friends. The other day I posted this photo and IG and it got a lot of attention. Lots of people private messaged me as well as left comments so I thought I'd post it here too. It pretty much sums up the way I've been living the last couple of years. I call it fewer/finer. I've slowly been decluttering and somehow making this place mine without erasing Larry. It's a delicate balance. I know some widows that don't touch anything after their loved one has passed away and I know widows who have sold the house and moved for a fresh start. I say whatever works for you and brings you any amount of peace is the way to go.
For me that has meant a slow but deliberate clean out and upgrades here and there. Btw, July's budget was blown to bits bc of a few upgrades. But to me overdue and well worth it. I upgraded my window hardware using Pottery Barn Teen rods. Their regular range of hardware was a little too big and overwhelming for my room and I love it. I also purchased their Belgium linen drapes. I'll leave links below. These have an ethereal feel allowing light in but giving lots of privacy. You eagle eyed readers will also notice a new landscape which I adore too. So small shifts here and there feel good to me. My home is feeling a little fresher, feminine and above all serene. xo
