I don't know about you, but after I've put all the Christmas decorations away, there is something in me that longs for fresh, simple and new! The New Year makes me think of clean, fresh and renewed...a simple white slate! I don't tend to gravitate towards totally white rooms because I believe that color adds life! However, I do love rooms with splashes of white!

Here are some beautiful fresh rooms that will inspire you for the Fresh New Year!

ENJOY!

This bedroom is absolutely jaw dropping.

Furs, leathers, crystals, driftwood....fun combinations.

Black and white with a punch of gold. I'd feel really special and important in this room.

This room looks so inviting to me. The green velvet does the talking in this room.

A mirrored table always makes a statement, especially grouped with crystal lamps.

Totally white and fresh.

Perfect room for great conversation. I love the way the accessories are placed on the bookshelves!

Warm and cozy.

Fresh and subtle wall color.

A touch of pink with white makes me feel refreshed.

Fresh fruit in a bowl is such an easy way to add color and freshness.

Neutral background with irresistible terra cotta pops of color. Yum!

I could really be inspired in this room! Curled up with a book and a cup of coffee. Doesn't it look comfortable and relaxed? Love the green chair up against all the white bookshelves.

Love the simplicity of this kitchen but does the woman cook?

Imagine this table all set for dinner in candle light.

Fun white pitcher collection.

Well, I survived and my husband is doing better after his accident. I'm back to work and getting back to a regular routine. He's got a long way to go but is on his way back to recovery. Thanks to so many of my friends, family and clients for your support, cards, meals and most of all your prayers! We've been uplifted by your support.

It's nice that it's a new season. A new beginning after a stressful time. It's encouraging to us that the weather is beautiful and everything feels fresh and crisp. Life can take turns and we don't know what is going to be thrown our way. What I've learned is that the things that we think matter to us don't matter when our loved ones are hurt. Sometimes it's good to get knocked on the head a little to make us realize what's important. Our health, family, friends are ALL that matter in the scheme of things. The most important lesson that I've learned is that God is faithful and will never give us more than we can handle. My faith has grown and I'm ready to go down the path God has prepared for me.

I'm ready to get back to my creative side and can't wait to assist all my new clients! It's going to be a fun season!!! Ready, set, GO!
