So, something has come to my attention, something that had been right in front of my face but that I had never considered fully and yet on a recent shopping trip, there it was–as it always had been…and for some reason, this time I crossed paths with it and noticed it with fresh eyes…on this day, it smacked me in the face while I was perusing the aisles at Target…

It’s a concept…a phenomenon, really…one that I quite possibly would never have had the ability to relate to until this very moment…being in a position where I am attempting to find my color palate and I have a home full of neutral furniture and white walls…

Oh, sure…I have heard it mentioned once or twice before…even noticed it in the history books or tours of old homes….but never had it been terribly apparent that it still went on…until, of course…today.

Are you ready?

Decorating your home for the seasons.

I know. On paper it doesn’t sound like an outrageous thing, I mean you think–of course! Everyone hangs a fall wreath here, a carved pumpkin there and come Christmas time…we break out the Christmas cookie jar and the Christmas tree….but never had it occured to me that there are some people who would implement such extreme holiday decor measures that they would do this or this!

Ok, I know no huge revelation here for most of you (probably) but the thing is that you would really have to make sure that the rest of your room could handle such a statement…and what’s more, where in the heck do you store everything when you are done with it?? I mean that’s a whole lot of storage…

I think it caught my eye, the season specific decor, because I really like bright and bold colors and yet I find myself not wanting to do anything that is too “fall” or too “summer” that will be to the exclusion of the aforementioned holiday decor….and it just sort of hit me that people will change art on their walls, decor items on their shelves…towels…sheets…EVERYTHING according to season….

Seems like a whole heck of a lot of work to me and yet–intriguing.
