This quote, as read on The Feathered Nest, is exactly what I aim for in our home (control freak that I am, ha ha):
"By creating beauty and order where you live you will be controlling the private hours of your life. Home, especially, is one area of existence where you can have control. By concentrating on easy, positive steps - the kind of toothpaste and shampoo and body cream you use, the contour and color of your sheets, the firmness of you mattress, a sunny place set up for lunch, the kind of paint you use, the temperature of your room and tub water, the smells and colors that surround you - these are the things that you can make right for yourself. Our five senses need nourishment, and then they can nourish us."
