When I visit the homes of my good friends, they seem so right. Coffee cups just so on the table, not quite as many bills in the mailbox. It is so easy to see myself with less magic than the rest{go media!}, and getting comfortable in my own skin {or house} is harder than it should be.
I am not going to name names, but this particular house is a trophy of editing prowess. Each photo, dish, pillow, lamp and book is there with intent. Every piece of art has a story, and each volume on the bookshelf has been read and loved.
The only person I know who never goes wrong with blue.
I love the idea of an office that is beautiful. This one actually exists in real life, and it works. I am in awe. {Magnetic bulletin boards are a good way to display photos without perforating their corners into oblivion.}
Welcome to the most carefree sofa ever. The large scale of the cushions keep them from being a huge pile of decorative accent pillows, moving them into the category of comfort and easy good looks.
I love you mercury glass.
The fact that all the little touches in this home are so personal, gives weight to even the simplest of items. Let that be a lesson to us all. Just because it's pretty, or new will not insure that it will make your house a home, or even a place you want to be. Put yourself in there. At least you will have some company.
