Help Wanted: Inspiration Please

I need some inspiration. Something visual to stimulate my senses or maybe more like bring me to my senses. I am acutely influenced by the visual things around me. I realize I am quite simple minded person, if it looks icky --- I feel icky. Right now in my house everywhere I look is visual chaos-loud visual static-that in your face not pretty stuff and it is draining me. I get this way from time to time. Those that know me well, know that this feeling is typically a warning sign for impending paint brushes and furniture moving. But...I have painted and painted to the point where I am going to loose square footage in my home if I continue and there is no new way to move the furniture as I have tried them all. I am feeling stuck with the need to change but no immediate path or resources to execute it. I am in need of a new source of inspiration for my surroundings. I keep trying to play this game with my self where I am not me and what would I tell me to do if I asked for ideas...and of course the answer is to start with removing half of the belongings in the home...Any suggestions?

sounds like you have answered your own question -
"start removing half the items in your home." I would say each person in your house should do the same, good luck!

When you figure this one out, let me know!

I'm not sure how your seasons flow there - but I'm thinking you are right on about the same latitude as we are - so how about brining in some fall things? Close enough to Halloween if you want to decorate a little? One year our middle son was feeling the same way in mid-summer - so he put a Christmas tree up in the basement for a couple weeks - and it really brightened the mood!
