When the going gets tough, the tough get decorating. No, really.There is something very therapeutic about it! You know what I am talking about!
I made some decisions about creating space in my life, internal and external. I have spent the last few weeks going through every closet and every corner. I have gotten rid of a ton of stuff that I no longer need. I have a friend going through a big life transition and so it seem the perfect time to cull out all the extra stuff I never get rid of. Including a bed in my basement. I have a guest room in the basement, but really I have enough room upstairs to accomodate guests when I need to. What I don't have is a space just for me.
I brought a contractor in and I have design plans to turn the old guest room downstairs into a yoga/ dance studio. I am just waiting for the estimates. I am sitting tonight with the Benjamin Moore paint chips fan. It feels like porn for girls!
I never painted the house when I moved in. I love colour and somehow I never put my mark on this space. When I bought it, it was only going to be a transition. So now that my future is going to be here, it seems somehow fitting to make it mine. To embrace this beautiful space. The painters start this week, inside and out.
This morning, I went out and bought a belly dancing scarf and a beginner instructional video, Last Wednesday's Goddess night was more fun and laughs than I have had in a long time. I think it is time to laugh at myself a bit, and trust me, belly dancing will give me lots and lots of material!!!! When that studio is completed in July in the basement I am going to be ready! I even found a wall system with pulleys and harnesses for doing yoga inversions. I just have to remember to keep my phone with me in case I get stuck! How funny would that be! (not at all funny without a cell phone! LOL!) And I have even decided to mount a big TV on the mirrored wall so that I can play my instructional belly dancing and yoga videos. It will be the female equivalent of the "man den:"!!!
I can't wait!
In love and light, Kathryn
