We all go through lulls and highs when it comes to our interior spaces.  Inspiration, motivation, feeling dragged down and bogged down.  Some of us have more of one than the other, or maybe all of one and none of the other.

This week, with regards to your space, your home interiors, what I really want to know is:

  • What inspires you in your space?
  • What motivates you in your space?
  • What makes you feel bogged down, depressed, unmotived and uninspired?

I'll start us off by answering my own questions.

I'm inspired by decor that I love:  rich, warm earth and jewel tones, with a pop of pattern and brighter colors throughout.  I love cozy furniture that sucks me in and makes me want to sit and relax for hours with a good movie or book, or to entertain friends.

I am motived by this same environment being clean and organized, free of piles of paper and clutter, allowing the energy to flow freely in my home and within myself.

What bogs me down and depresses me is the opposite of the above.  As a busy business owner, I am prone to those piles of paper stacking up and it totally bums me out.  As I have precious limited time to relax, when I do have time off, the last thing I want to do is sort that pile of papers or clean house.  As you can imagine, feeling like this does not work well with keeping paper piles down.

The good news is at any given time, I get fed up with looking at it and I attack it to make it go away, which in turns keeps the piles to a minimum.

Now it's your turn!  Will you share your experience with our readers here? 

  • What inspires you in your space?
  • What motivates you in your space?
  • What makes you feel bogged down, depressed, unmotived and uninspired?

I look forward to learning about your experiences in your spaces.
