Whatever you love, you are

자신의 집을 자신의 페인팅으로 가득 채워 자연 속에 사는 느낌으로 데코레이트한 아티스트 Claire Basler 의 인테리어:

소박한 느낌의 부엌 (요즘 이사 직전이라 부엌/방 수납 및 정리에 완전 몰입 중): 

화사한 벽:

심플하게 colorful 한 부엌: 

텅빈 것 같으면서도 잔잔하게 멋스러운 분위기:

그러고 보니 이번 주에 친정엄마네 살림 정리도 시작하기로 했는데. 부모님 영화관에 내려 드리고 얠 크립에서 재우려다 하도 울어서 결국엔 업고 있는 것이 내 현실. 스윽 보면 치울 게 분명 많은데 정작 하나하나 따져 보면 왜 그렇게 없애는 게 힘든지.. 내 살림은 어떻게서든지 늘이지 말아야지, 수시로 결심하다.

새벽 5-6시부터 애 뒤척이는 소리에 긴장, 숨도 크게 안 쉬고 내 뒤척이는 소리에 애 깰까 조심조심. 

보통 아침 7시에 이유식 준비 시작. 만들어 놓은 거 있으면 7:30까지 숨죽이고 뻗음. 

아침 7:30-8 정도에 애 먹이고 나도 먹고. (나도 이유식…) 

어찌저찌 첫 낮잠 재우고 좀 놀다 보면 점심 걱정. 

11-1시 사이에 둘다 점심 해결. 

또 어찌저찌 집에서든 밖에서든 둘째 낮잠 자는 동안 나도 볼일 보거나 잽싸게 자리 잡아 책 읽고. 

4시 되면 이유식. 

그 이후 7시까지는 무슨 방법으로든 그때 그때 애 컨디션 따라 해결. 

7시에 애 목욕시키고 7시 반이면 그 때부터 바삐 내 할일을 챙긴다. 

요즘 내 할일이라고는 매일 가기로 했지만 일주일에 겨우 2-3번 가는 요가/필라테스. 

분명 내 살림은 몇개월 되어야 다시 차리는 데도 나가기만 하면 살림거리 욕심에 지갑을 열고, 저녁에는 블로그 서핑을 하다 온라인 쇼핑으로… (언제쯤 사진과 같은 부엌살림을 차려볼라나 으흐흐)

차라리 말그대로 넘쳐나서 부엌 전신에 진열되어 있는 엄마 살림 정리(…)를 해 "드리자"는 마음을 가지려 하나 몸이 따르질 않는다. (이번 주 중으로 꼭 시작해 봐야지.)

불어도 시작하고 싶은데, 그 의욕은 블로그 서핑하다 그만 잊혀지고, 다시 생각날 즈음 이미 잘 시간이다.  

결국엔 다시 2014 새해계획을 읽어보고 반성하며 하루를 끝낸다. 

앞으로는 그 새해계획을 아침에 읽고 하루를 시작할까보다.

채광과 느슨한 데코가 마음에 듬:

Vinegar. Vinegar’s place on this list will come as a surprise to no one; it can help you clean in almost every room of your house. (Don't worry, the smell dissipates.) Vinegar is acetic, which helps cut through dirt while killing mold, bacteria, and viruses. You might already know that a solution with equal parts white (also called distilled) vinegar and water can help you clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces -- just remember to keep it away from marble and other porous stone surfaces -- but it can do so much more.

Don’t want your dinner guests to know you spent $4 on that bottle of wine? Remove the price tag (and other papery stickers) by sponging on vinegar, letting it sit for a few minutes and then scraping off the sticker. And stop averting your eyes from the crumb-catching crack between your oven and counter. Grab a thin, blunt instrument (like a butter knife), wrap it once in a vinegar-soaked cloth, and slowly drag the knife toward you in the crack. 

Baking soda. Vinegar’s partner in crime, baking soda cuts odors and can be used as a gently abrasive cleaner. The combination of the vinegar and baking soda can help keep drains clear and de-skunk dogs (Really. We tested this one twice just to be thorough.). Give your oven a good cleaning by wetting down the inside surfaces with water with a sponge or a spray bottle, and then sprinkle baking soda all over -- or make a thick paste of the two and cover the surfaces. Let the baking soda do its work for a few hours (or overnight) and then wipe clean. Remove marks (like a crayon masterpiece) from painted walls with baking soda on a damp sponge. Water and baking soda can also be used to remove stains on fabric, or to gently clean surfaces.

Salt. Salt can be used to spot-clean a stained wooden cutting board; make a thick paste with salt, water, and baking soda, and scrub away your stains. When a dish boils over in the oven, cover the spill with salt while it’s still wet, it will make it easier to clean up later -- after the oven cools down of course. Don’t worry if your guests ignored the stack of coasters you set out; make a thin paste of salt and vegetable oil and rub it on the white rings their beverages left on your wooden tables. Salt can also help you clean your cast iron pans by gently scrubbing away stubborn bits of food from without removing your seasoning.

Lemon. Lemon’s mildly acidic nature will help you you make quick work of grease and grime, with an all-natural fresh scent to boot. Just add water to lemon juice to remove grease on your stove and appliances. Lemon juice can clean up brass -- just double-check that the item is brass, and not brass-plated! Amanda gets serious about washing dishes -- take it to the next level and add a little lemon juice to your dish soap when you’re filling the sink with hot, soapy water. Combining lemon juice with with kosher salt and mineral oil can help you deep-clean a wooden cutting board, and after you’re done cooking (or cleaning) with a lemon, don’t forget to put it through your garbage disposal to get rid of any lingering odors.

Rice. Uncooked white rice can help you clean out vases or thin-necked bottles. Partially fill them with warm water and a handful of rice and shake vigorously -- cover the top of the vase with your hand please. If your vase has a stubborn white film in it, fill the vase with white vinegar (enough to cover the residue), let it sit for a bit, and then add the rice and shake. Add a handful of uncooked rice to your blade coffee grinder and whizz it up to remove oily residue. (Don’t use this method on a burr grinder, and you do this often, stick with uncooked instant rice.)

Club soda. It isn’t just for your favorite 3-ingredient drink -- it’s also great for when you spill it. Club soda works to remove stains from fabrics and carpets if you act quickly. Pour or dab it on liberally, then blot and gently rub the spot away. Streaks on stainless steel will disappear after being buffed with a club soda-soaked cloth, and porcelain sinks and fixtures can be cleaned with club soda too. Give the inside of your refrigerator a good wipe down with a mixture of salt and soda water and then re-organize it.
