Hello and welcome back! This week we are talking about how a simple room can say so much more about ourselves and how we think about ourselves then we actually think

What a month!

May is almost over and what a month it has been! I have had several appointments, been back at work, working out, celebrated Norways constitutionday, spent lots of quality time with my family and I with help from my man been tyding up in our office and craftsroom.

As you can see, it’s been quite a month! And yet, my health is imporving slowly but steady!

Subconscious mindset

As I mentioned in the beginning of this post. I have decluttered, relocated and decorated with help from my man our office and craftsroom. I could probably have finished this room in a couple of days, however, I used three weeks where I also went deep inside myself to truly figure out what this room really said about me and how I think of myself when it comes to how our home looks.

And let me tell you all! It was eyeopening.
I moved around alot in my childhood and early adulthood and never really lived at the same place for more then tops 5 years. This had resulted in me subconsciously always thinking that it was no point in settling anywhere because I would be moving in a couple of years anyway. I therefore always made the best of every situations I was in always made it work despite never really made the place feel and look like me.

Evolved

After working on this room this month I have slowly but steady evolved my thinking about myself and how I want every room to feel like and say about me as a person.

We don’t really think about the fact that there is so much more than just our physical body that says something about us as individuals. Our home speaks wolumes about who we are and how we see ourselves.

I used to see myself as someone who always moved so there was no point in settling down in any of the places I lived. And therefor I gave myself the mindset of doing the best with what I had and mostly only bought things I tought was okey. Never saved up for things I really loved and wanted because I tought it was no point until I settled down in my “forever” home.

But now! I see myself as someone who blooms where she is planted. Someone who makes every space in the home she lives in hers (and her family)! She does DIY with things that other see as old, but with some love and painting it will give the room exactly what it needed. When one thing is not living up to her standard anymore she will save up and by the thing that she loves so she has a home with things she loves instead of things that only feels okey.

l have gone from being insecure about myself, my purpose and my home too someone who loves her home. Who buy with intention and decorate with love and my own style!

I am done waiting for one day when! The day is now and forever!

Love
