In last Friday’s post, I announced that September is ovarian cancer awareness month. Healing Havens Continued
Healing Havens Continued
I encouraged readers to go to the NOCC website and take a quiz that will educate you on the quiet warning signs of ovarian cancer. If you have not done this, please do so, it takes less than five minutes and could possibly save your life, or the life of someone you love.
This week’s Healing Haven redesign was done in the master bedroom of an ovarian cancer survivor. The BEFORE shot shows a lack of a focal point and quite a bit of furniture. The wish of the survivor was to address those two issues as well as to inject some color into the room.
In another room two great vintage red lamps were found, as well as two red pillows rescued from a closet. This was just the punch of color the room needed. Furniture was rearranged and the bed covering was turned over to a more neutral cream. These changes resulted in an AFTER room that is warm and inviting.
In this BEFORE shot in the opposite corner shows an arrangement that was not really planned out. The vibrant woman spending time in this space was still in recovery and wished for a quiet reading corner.
In the AFTER picture, the furniture was rearranged and a favorite chair was brought in. A pretty lamp and side table ensure that there are adequate lighting and a place to rest a book or a cup of tea.
This was a true redesign as nothing was purchased for this makeover. Just a bit of time and creativity were needed to create a restful space.
Please break the silence. Knowledge is power and health is everything.

Awards
On a side note, I truly believe in that what you put out into the world will come back to you tenfold. Recently, two lovely ladies each gave me a blog award. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude and am thankful that I perhaps add a bright spot here and there to their lives.
My second award comes from Deborah at A Cup of Joy. This is a great blog as well that links to many giveaways, reviews books provides recipes and wonderful doses of inspiration.
Congrts on your awards!I think the bedroom redesign is now a special retreat where the lady can find strength and healing.
Wonderful makeovers! The ladies will really enjoy those spaces now.Thanks for visiting me again. It’s always nice to have you. I’m in SC. You may have thought I was in the dust storm of AZ.
Congratulations on your awards! I think I have enjoyed your redesigns as much as the recipients! Its encouraging to see that you don’t have to buy thousands of dollars worth of new home items to improve your living space.
The new places look so beautiful! You are so wonderful for doing that for those wonderful survivors. Congrats on your awards I know you deserve them.
I like the makeover, especially knowing that it was for a survivor as I am one too. I had ovarian cancer discovered in 1990.
