Looking for Inspiration!

This is where I sit and get inspired... My "Wisdom Wall"... A wall filled with "Treasured Handwork" I've Collected & received from my Granny Bees... It was my first "Cluster of Love"... A term I used after becoming so overwhelmed when it came to decorating our home. I can put together a display for a Booth, a Show or Shop very quickly... I can help my friends with their spaces but when it comes to my house...
Well, I totally freeze, so I decided to take "Baby Steps" and only use things I Love or that hold special meaning for us... Hence..."Cluster of Love"... This is in the corner of my living room that's about to get a fresh coat of paint and an added "Rufus Porter" look! So Stay tuned... I'm taking all my before pictures today of all the areas I'll be addressing... The Attic, The Dreaded Basement, The "Fred Sanford" Garage, The Music Studio, The Guest Bedroom, The Master Suite, The Office & The Kitchen... I'm breaking out into a sweat just typing...Okay, now I'm committed... and petrified!

OMG Beth..I'd be petrified too! As a matter of fact...when Erin was here the other day to help me pack some things, she said, "Cindy, why don't we work on that room you are trying desperately to ignore and pretend isn't there?" Uhhhh not yet! It was my craft room, but became my clutter room. And it's not as bad as the basement! AND I started taking a little at a time out of the basement and I brought some blankets upstairs..Craft blankets I call them. Weelllll, I was trying to pack them and I thought...this would be cute on my bed, so in the washer it went, and this would be a cute bunny....so I took it to the other room....you get the idea! HELP!

I'm going to try to stay focused and not let my creative side take over...I'm even allowing myself time to sort/clean/give away and then time to create/paint/decorate! My hubbie said that I'll just be multi-tasking...I'm really excited to finally use all my finds/collections...you know!!!
