| Like every May, the rhododendrons are at their peak. The spring continues its course with its symbol of energy. As I am writing this newsletter, I am listening to one of my favorite waltzes. Usually when I design I listen to Bach or Chopin, instead, this spring I often have found myself listening to waltzes. Like colors, music creates moods and is linked to our memories and experiences. I grew up listening to waltzes and learned how to dance it at the age of four. Before a holiday, my father would start the celebration with a waltz. He used to say: ”let’s start the holiday with joyful music.” It was energizing for him and he wanted us to feel the same way. I realized that in the back of my mind, my memories from childhood were boosting my inner strength. While you read this newsletter, I invite you to listen to the most joyful waltz composed by Johan Strauss: “Voices of the spring.”
Music and color have something in common -they both impact our moods. As we are spending long hours at home, it is important to avoid monotony in the decor. We can bring the energy of the waltz to our homes by adding the right accent colors in the right places. Then we can waltz all day long. Let’s see how! |
