I have had the rooms set up for the kids, ready for anytime they come to stay with us....its kind of hard sometimes to set up their rooms. There is a sense of vacancy in the rooms which is almost palpable. I keep trying to rearrange the rooms, to decorate just enough for them to still fill it with their personalities. But nothing has seemed to work. I dont spend much times in the rooms because it frustrates me to not be able to fix the odd feeling....the strange smell....the vacancy.
Well, since my daughter has moved in, and everyone is settling into their school routines and are pretty much in their places...summer is over and hopefully the chaos....then the room has changed. I noticed it today as i went in there to put away some laundry...the room held a faint sweet fragrance....it felt warmer than it ever has(not temp warm), and the vacancy was gone...Who knew that all the room needed was a person in it. It feels owned now. All of the same things are in it except the person is in it much more often....I mentioned it to my husband and he said he had been standing in the doorway of the room earlier that day thinking the same thing...the change is real.
