Holiday berries and cream are the colour palette here in our finished sitting room renovation. The hearth is bright and airy and decorated for each season. The raspberry walls hug us as we play. We chose healthy materials, built in useful storage, and we love this custom design by yours truly. It is satisfying to turn a dusty dysfunctional house into a dream come true. We are loving this useful, festive room. Many more of our Rose Cottage room makeovers are coming up soon. Happy living! Love, ~Amor Milagre
There are lots of wooden desks and cosy corners. Little pumpkin soup dinners and first snowfalls are the focus this fall. I write stories every day. Now, I’ll be in full editing mode, so I’m planning a simply cosy autumn for our daily mood. New books will release this winter! We have more time this year, having finished our Rose Cottage renovations. We’re finally settling in now. Making mood boards is a fun routine we enjoy each season. What wondrous things you’ll reflect on when you take a moment to dream…. All ages can make one. Can you find the shimmer of magic woven throughout the ideas? Love, ~Amor Milagre
There are many ways to enjoy the little moments of each day. Baking a special treat, such as this apple pie, can be shared piece by piece all week in the evenings. Reading a longer bedtime story, bit by bit each night, is a fun way to connect not only to the reader and the laugher, but to a healthy tradition of togetherness and dependability. Getting back to private fun phone calls that only two friends can hear is bliss, unless there is someone listening in then you have to play a few jokes on the eavesdropper. “Gotcha!” Remember doing things you actually like to do, things just for you. This is life. This is living. These little moments feel natural and good. They’re real. And, then you’ll remember that you are real, too! Unplug, mill around the house, browse a bookshelf, sit in the fresh air, go for a stroll, and draw out something pleasant for you to breathe into.
If you won’t get your lovely eyes offline just yet, you can watch some new SHORTS on my video channel about favourite homeschool books and our April garden blooms and evergreens. These are some unplugged ideas of how to enjoy your days with self-education and nature-loving gardening. The nurseries are opening now. Go out and explore that lovely greenhouse air. Happy Spring! Love, ~Amor Milagre
Welcome to Early Spring at our Rose Cottage. It’s still snowing every day, and we cuddle up with tea to read. Here are a few books from our collection and some from the local library. It’s fun to find out which ones we love and wish to add to our home library. We use these for homeschool, too. My own original Amor Milagre artwork and books are also featured. The piano song is a melody I made up when little to meditate on during transitional times. This month, the flower bulbs are stretching up to the sun and the snow falls in fluffy clouds. Follow along with the books we explore each season. More rainy puddle-splashing reads are coming up soon! Love, ~Amor Milagre
Amor Milagre-March Days: Floral Hallway Wallpaper & Spring Tree Decor
This March, task by task, we’re adding refreshing beauty and usefulness to our newly hand-renovated Rose Cottage home. A gorgeous Sandberg floral wallpaper invites us down into our magical shimmering bedrooms. The soft blue-green and blooms are a breath of fresh air, and the artwork details showcase a fine embroidery style reminiscent of wise crafts of yesteryear. We are cutting our remaining woodworking projects, custom designed furniture pieces to fit in specific areas in our home. Storage, and easy to clean flooring, are important for an organised, enjoyable, healthy home and these pieces allow for this. We’re also looking at our year to reset boundaries. Knowing what is healthy for you is vital for being able to live the adventures you’re most looking forward to, especially if it’s a simple day where everyone is home together and feeling well. I will release some lovely films about our recent and past renovation and interior designs, as well as some organic gardening processes, too. Check back for these finished looks soon as we savour our last months of darling snow and quiet peacefulness.
Time is a precious fleeting invisible thing, and what remains is our proof, so let’s make it good. Love, ~ Amor Milagre
