And, as with every decorating project, itand#8217;s important to develop a decorating plan that fits your needs, your lifestyle and most importantly your pocketbook. Consider these three simple steps:
VISUALIZE YOUR PROJECT
Begin by visualizing your entire project, and then list all the types of activities youand#8217;ll want to conduct in your get away haven. Perhaps itand#8217;s writing thought-provoking entries in you daily journal; reading your favorite books; knitting, needlework; watching old romantic movies; meditating; contemplating your plans for the next day and#8212; whatever your activity think through what types of things will make you the happiest.
ASSESS YOUR SPACE
Look at your bedroom with a critical eye. Given the amount of space available and your list of activities, will the space available be adequate? If not, you may need to reassess your activity list.
COLOR YOUR WORLD
