Making a Personal Retreat Do not forget your own private space when building out your Arizona retreat.
Using your favorite decor you can succeed in having a sanctuary for the soul.
You can pick that smaller bedroom that needs redecorating and turn it into something special that is for "you" only.
Most of the time when people are thinking about design in their home, they focus on the rooms they will be spending most of their time in. The kitchen, living room, or great room and bedrooms most often gather and maintain the majority of time and attention. They also grab the most of the decorating budget.
It is not about being selfish. It is about being true to yourself
Even if you cannot devote an entire room to your personal space and tastes, you can create a special nook or corner in your bedroom or living room just for you.
This concept is a bit “selfish” but think about having a favorite chair nestled in a cozy corner where you can curl up with a good book for an hour or so. Surround yourself with personal items that have meaning and bring comfort to you and take a short nap.
Perhaps you love music or enjoy some quiet time to write in a personal journal or laptop. Whatever your interests, make a space for yourself, just for you to seek solace in after a long tiring day.
If your lifestyle supports devoting a room to this, choose a smaller bedroom to convert into your “nest”. Adding built in bookshelves on a wall can give you plenty of room to surround yourself with books or a collection of your favorite personal objects that remind you of soft, happy moments. A small stereo and your collection of classical or jazz CD’s and you are set to unwind before or after dinner. If you are a writer, you might want to add a small desk where you can sit for an inspired hour or so and create that novel you have been dreaming of writing.
