Our home is a sanctuary and it is important to have a home base. A place that is calming and inspiring. Especially in learning to be alone which is essential focusing on our personal space builds esteem and can quiet the mind. Cleaning rigorously and with purpose is an excellent way to alleviate confusion and make the atmosphere inside the home electric.
Above are some beautiful rooms that are magical, elegant, and comfortable. Enjoy them as inspiration. Perhaps you will be moved to study feng shui or interior decorating. I have found http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ and the accompanying book to be most insightful. Also, http://www.elledecor.com/ is excellent.
