There is something cathartic about painting a room. The closest I have come to a state of oneness is when I am painting. I get lost in what I am doing until the old color has disappeared and the space is transformed. Yesterday I found that calm at my sister’s new home. I was tasked with edging the room. It was a nondescript beige when we began and when we finished it was a rich, deep blue offset by crisp white trim. It is a color that envelops you as you enter the room. Once devoid of personality, the space is now uniquely theirs. Each brush stroke ushered in a new vision of stories to be told, memories to be made.

I live for moments like this. For all the uncertainty, the stress and the challenges that house hunting can bring, the reward on the other side is huge. A new address is a blank canvas. It is an opportunity to leave behind the clutter, both literal and figurative. Seize the moment, take chances and reinvent yourself as you transform your new space.
