What is it about changing up your space that gives you a good feeling? Have you noticed that rearranging furniture in your house makes you so satisfied and content?

We get to be our true selves there and we feed, comfort, cleanse, then recharge ourselves before heading out again the next day. Then at the end of the day, we feel relief as we head back to that space, our home.

Because they are that integral to our lives, getting the arrangement of furniture and creating a harmonious space can take time and even practice. When you get it right, you know.
