Changing The View In So Many Ways

Last week at Creative Everyday Leah asked if we had a special spot that we could decorate at home.  This is my response to her question.
Last summer my husband and I took a wonderful motorcycle trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Since my husband often has to rest because of breathing problems, we stayed in a beautiful bed and breakfast with a view of the small lake and wonderful gardens.  While he rested I would read and just reflect on the beauty of nature.  We talked about how much I would love to have a spot like this at home and the things we could buy or make to create it.  When we got home I went into my bedroom, looked at the chair facing in towards the room and the bay window on the other side of it.  I quickly turned the chair around, opened the curtains and had the special spot instantly.  No fuss, no money, just opening my eyes and looking through a different perspective.  It is amazing what we can accomplish by looking at life through different lenses.  Since this experience I look for the positive in a potential negative situation, I try to create beauty in the simplest way possible and I try to be open to new ideas and situations.  I am so thankful that we were able to stay in the beautiful bed and breakfast but even more thankful that I was able to take that beauty home with me in so many ways.  Is there a spot in your house that you could turn into a special place for you?  I would love to hear about it.
