Blank Canvas

I just moved into a beautiful farm house in Iowa with my boyfriend, Adam.  Over the past couple of years Adam has perfected this farm site that he invited me to share with him.  I feel so fortunate - especially since he said "Sweetheart, the house is yours!"  That was music to my ears because I love to decorate and re-decorate. 

The night before the movers were coming with all of my stuff, we donated Adam's furniture to a good friend of his who livesdown the road, a bachelor in need of an upgrade.  Here is a picture of what we were left with on a Friday night.

I love this picture for two reasons.  First, the main subject of this picture is my extremely handsome boyfriend who had no idea I took this picture.  Second, it is a picture-perfect blank canvas, a fresh start, and a decorator's dream space!  If you ever get the urge (or the ambition), move everything out of a room in your house to create a blank canvas.  It's fun, refreshing and rewarding to give your space a new look!

More pictures to come as the decorating continues....
