Decorating never should be intentional. Your home should change as you change. Let it evolve and transform slowly and carefully. Add things you like one-by-one and your home will start reflecting your SELF. Never force anything. Allow only things into your home that come to you naturally. That you feel comfortable with. YOU are the king of your home. You can do whatever you want. Let your home be the place that nurtures YOU emotionally, physically and intellectually.

I fell in love with the 2nd to last shot.
VálaszTörlési love collections of personal things. i try so hard to be more minimal, but in the end i am not a minimalist at all. i love my "altar piles" of stuff. thanks for the inspiration.
VálaszTörlésMonika, I just read your last post and I don't understand why you don't like being understated. I associate understated with a less is more philosophy, pared back simplicity almost classic, but never boring.
VálaszTörlésIt has its place in design and fashion. Cate Blanchett is someone I would say has understated style, Calvin Klein clothing is another perfect example. I hope you don't stay depressed for long. xx
I too hope you don't allow this discovery to change how you feel about yourself, your home and your family. Work is just WORK... it's not healthy to let it define you. You are more important than the WORK you do. You are a beautiful being to many people... and your home should reflect your personal beauty & "house" the items that allow you to decompose from difficult situations in your work life.
VálaszTörlésI hope you will look around and see the greatness you bring to your home.
nice quote at the top! who is it from?
VálaszTörlésThis is an absolutely great post! Couldn't agree more! Lived-in rooms have a quality and character all their own. Great images, too! Thank you!
