The Calm after the Storm

After the Christmas decorations are taken down and packed away, I like to leave the spaces bare and the surfaces empty for a while. The lack of adornment after the abundance of Christmas is quite soothing.

These images give me the same feeling.

    Lovely images. The bath looks very inviting - could see myself in it with lots of bubbles and glass of bubbly! Ange

    I agree...it is nice to have unclutter-ed-ness after the abundance of Christmas decorations. Thanks for sharing those serene photos with us.

    Oh, I feel it, girl. As I'm 'maturing' I have come to greatly appreciate the serenity and calm that is evoked in spaces like these. Thanks for the eye-candy! Hugs, Lisa

    I'm swooning over these images and yes they make me feel calm. These are my kind of rooms, no clutter.

    Hugs!

    I know that feeling and I agree with you. And those images agree with me too ;-)

    As much as I love decorating before Christmas (I'm a minimalist so I don't drown the home in Christmas decor), I'm always a little relieved when I put it all back in a box. Tomorrow is the day when we put the stuff away. I'm not sure whether it's only Icelandic tradition or a Nordic one.

    PS. I'm glad you liked my son's guest post. I think my interests have rubbed off on to him and the daughters too ;-)

    this is so calming, the designer must have spent a long time thinking to himself keep calm and carry on the art.

    I also agree. I cleaned up the day after Christmas. With my daughter getting married, Macy's has taken over my house! I just want everything put away..
