Simple Swaps: More Creative Oasis Inspiration

Still mulling whether or not to take the September Simple Swap challenge and morph a space in your home into a Creative Oasis?

If after reading a few very simple guiding lights to creating your space, you still need a little more inspiration, let me share with you the spaces of three more talented ladies who've created their own spaces ....

Melissa took her bedroom from well-slept in to inspiring ...

Jade transformed her guest bedroom into an inviting space with a view ...

And Stephanie cleaned and revamped her sewing area to include some beautiful, inspiring artwork ...

Remember, we women -- artists, mothers, homekeepers, wives -- need a space to retreat to after a long day so we can breathe of the craziness, the busyness of the day. It's essential to have a space that is alluring and aesthetically pleasing and inspiring -- one that invites us in to it and allows our creativity to flow, says welcome with its sights, sounds and smells; a Creative Oasis is the cure for creative slumps and much-needed respites for sure.

 The September Simple Swaps Creative Oasis linky will be open until September 30, but I hope you'll carve some time out before then so you can have many more days of enjoying your space!

Also? Someone who links up will be the lucky of winner of a beautiful Creative Oasis space enhancer from Scentsy. Head on over!

{This is the first challenge in my Simple Swaps series, a monthly link up that centers around creating a healthier, more inspired and intentional lifestyle.}

Simple Swaps: A Little Inspiration {Creative Oasis}

We women sometimes fall to the end of the priority list when it comes carving out time to make space for ourselves in our homes.

But we women -- artists, mothers, homekeepers, wives -- need a space to retreat to after a long day so we can breathe of the craziness, the busyness of the day.

It's essential to have a space that is alluring and aesthetically pleasing and inspiring -- one that invites us in to it and allows our creativity to flow, says welcome with its sights, sounds and smells; a Creative Oasis is the cure for creative slumps and much-needed respites for sure.

So for the month of September, I'm encouraging you to create your very own Creative Oasis in 15 minutes or less and for no cost.

Need a little more direction?

Here are some very simple guiding lights to creating your space.

So far three fabulous women have undertaken creating a Creative Oasis ...

Robin has taken her bedroom from dusty to delightfully peaceful and welcoming.
