What Mom Really Wants By Renee Ory
May is a time for all things beautiful: beautiful weather, beautiful blooms, and beautiful mothers. We absolutely, positively, one hundred percent LOVE spoiling mothers, and are always excited to work on projects for them. Maybe it’s because so many on our team are mothers, or because we were all raised by such amazing women, but Mother’s Day is a favorite holiday at Amazing Spaces, and we have some great ideas for spoiling your mother this year. Mothers are the epicenter of the home – they are its heart AND soul. Mothers occupy every room of the house, but so often, no room is particularly “theirs”. All of the hustle and bustle of running a home, raising a family, and often pursuing a career while doing so, means our mothers are tired and in need of some help. Some of our favorite projects have been helping women create small sacred spaces for rest in their home.
A small prayer nook with all of her favorite iconography and religious books can help a weary soul find refreshment in her day. A reading corner with a pretty but comfortable chair, soft blankets, beautiful lamp, and her favorite books can offer respite at the end of a busy day. Setting the scene in her bathroom for long, luxurious, relaxing baths complete with scented candles and tub accessories can help a mother soak away her worries at the end of a long day. Small, beautifully curated spaces made just for her can remind a mother just how much she – and all that she does – is cherished and appreciated. All of the above suggestions are things you can do on a fairly small budget, finding repurposed items, or moving a piece of furniture from another room and putting a new throw blanket on it.
