Re-decorating for Summer

Every now and then I have a strong urge to re-decorate things. For example, once I woke up and spontaneously felt like moving the bookshelf that was in the lounge, into my bedroom where it was much needed, because my already existing book shelf (that is quite small), was overflowing. So I dedicated an entire day moving around the furniture in my room to try and fit this new addition into my room. Nothing could stop me!

And the same goes for re-decorating my blog- I don't know how to navigate this very well, because technology hates me- but I love changing it every now and then. I'm going to miss my winter blog setting, with the night sky filled with stars, but as it is heading into summer and the days are getting lighter and lighter and warmer, I think it is only appropriate to give it a new 'coat of paint.'

The 'Winter look' 

I also would like to take this opportunity to put the side-quotes into the spotlight. I chose these quotes to feature on my blog because I am like a magpie when it comes to quotes. I love them, and I like collecting them, like a magpie likes collecting shiny things. My bedroom walls have quotes stuck up on them, so pretty much everywhere you look, there is writing and inspiration. These quotes, I find ring out true and are motivational too, which are always good to look at when times get a little tough:
