Domestic Delight!
Today, I was the “Queen of Clean” and basked in domestic delight! I started my day determined to clean everything in my house and even sent out a tweet to my virtual friends on Twitter to confirm my determination:
“I am in clean mode today. Everything in my path is getting dusted, washed, or rinsed…except the dog. It feels like spring in November!“
I was motivated to attack every nook and cranny AND I also had the greatest desire to rearrange my living room. It must have been the conversation I had with a new friend yesterday about her quest to get her space just right. There really was nothing wrong with my living room the way it was. I just wanted a change.
Does it seem strange that someone who loves structure and routine also loves change? Some of you might remember from my recent profile on Rubbermaid that I started rearranging rooms at a very young age.
My new plant stand.
Today’s room redesign was just as fun as it was back then. There was even a little bit of creativity – a stack of books became a plant stand for one of my orchids. I’m sure I’m not the first person to come up with this idea, but I was particularly proud of myself. I also put my ladybug pot feet under the books to keep the plant theme going. I’m pretty tickled that Dean Koontz, James Patterson, my orchid, and the ladybug trio are all living nicely with each other. Perhaps a bit odd (like me), but it works.
I love these pot feet!
