I've made a little mess because of the Christmas preparations. Traditionally, in all the homes in Romania, we have a big, big cleaning of the household before Christmas (and another big, big one before Easter). I don't have to clean too much because I have a weekly cleaning routine. Still, it's the time to rotate some furnishings and to bring up new decorations - and that's why everything is upside down.
Like I already said, the kitchen gets a red-and-white makeover. I'm working on the shelf display.
I need more storage in my happy entryway, hence the new shoe storage units that need fixing on the wall.
And my cats are rearranging the rug every day for a deconstructionism manifesto.
I would love for the messy spots in my house to look this good in pictures! Really, somehow it looks nice! Can't wait to see the changes!
ReplyDeleteCristina is right....your messy spots look cute, and sort of stylish.
DeleteThat is awesome you live in Romania. I always wondered where you lived. We lived in Hawaii for awhile and the Japanese have their annual cleaning before New Years. Maybe I should adopt all the different cultures deep cleaning times. lol
Well, I like the way the mess looks, too! I think it's because that I see new potential in the bare spaces and I get that liberating feeling that I can do anything (on the shelves...)
DeleteAnd Katie, I think I should adopt all the cleaning times from all the other cultures, as well, ha ha ha :))))
Haha, Meeha, this is NOT a mess! This is simply a creative surrounding. I'll send you some of my kids over to make a proper mess, if you like ;)
ReplyDeleteAna, send the kids over a.s.a.p.!! My best friend from childhood has 2 girls and she always tells me that once I have cats, I am prepared to live with children without killing myself :))))
DeleteMy place is a bit of a mess too! With all the gift wrapping and DIYs this time of the year, stuff is everywhere in my apartment. I can't wait to do a big cleaning!
ReplyDeleteA house full of wrapping in every corner, it must look so cheerful (I love paper anytime, anyway)
DeleteI have to laugh;)
ReplyDeleteSo it is in this house too, everything is clutter before Christmas.
I just LOVE the wallpaper in your hallway!
Have a nice weekend :)

Hopefully I will put everything in place before the 24th:))))
DeletePS: in the entryway that is not wallpaper, I painted it myself in a retro-pop pattern of my own design. I LOVE all retro design and colors and you can see how I made it here:

Mehha this is not a mess . I love your entryway... Guau a think is wallpaper love love .I love retro design and color!!!!
ReplyDeletelol cats & rugs - what's up with that??! Mine are the same. Holy terrors! :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I love that happy entry. Have a happy day!
My cats think that the rugs were especially invented for them, to have something to twist and ruin every day :))
DeleteEnjoy making new decorations! :) I sometimes get ideas for new thing to make when I make a mess, for ex. drag out fabrics from the closet in a big bunch. I remember your entry, it looks fantastic. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa! When I drag mu fabrics out, I just wanna take pictures with all the textile patterns on top of each other :))
DeleteHi Meeha! So lovely with so beautful mess, why does my mess not look stunning like yours!!! I must says it is so lovely to hear about all your tradition, keeper it flowing. Hope you'læ have an amazingly good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely words, I had no time to breathe this weekend but at least there is only very little mess, still :)))
DeleteDacă la tine-i "mess", la mine-i "disaster" ! :)
ReplyDeleteE-atât de vesel, luminos şi viu la tine, încât nu pot decât să-ţi dăruiesc

This is the most stylish mess I have ever seen :-)! I love it and the concept of clearing out before Christmas and Easter
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jutta, now I only have left a small "stylish" mess in the bedroom, where nobody else can see it :))))
Deletei need to have a big big cleaning too because i don't have enough space to decorate otherwise. it feels good though too, placing all those decorations on top of a mess would not feel quite as merry : )
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting imaginary picture, with decorations on top of a mess - maybe I shall try it one day :)
