one of my favorite bloggers jorjah-b tagged me with a question...if i could pick only one space that i could exist in, that inspires me, that evokes my style, my preferences and that i just plain love, what would it be. easier said than done...but oh so fun!
things i don't like in spaces. i don't like people who buy a house or build a house with a fireplace, and then don't use it. i would have to use it, just about every day. i don't like furniture that looks like you're not welcome. uptight and overstuffed. i don't like wall to wall carpet, i prefer natural wood with a rug here or there. the more bare the better. i don't like prints, i prefer hanging or displaying actual artwork or nothing at all. i don't like spaces where many things match. like lamps, dining chairs or even china in your cupboard. the more eclectic the better. i don't like everything in a home to be modern and new. it gives a sterile, cold environment. i prefer a mix of vintage and aged and gently worn mixed in with newer pieces. i prefer older homes over newer ones. i need splashes of color here and there but not overdone. i couldn't survive in spaces where everything was completely neutral. i don't like silk or imitation plants or flowers, they must be real or none at all. i don't like couches with no pillows, i have a pillow problem and need them around me :) besides all of that, i'm a happy camper!
there are so many great spaces and for so many moods and times of year, this is how i'm feeling at the moment anyway! i hope you enjoyed the space i selected and wonder if you would pick a similar space or something drastically different? hey, that's what makes this planet and the beautiful people in it so completely interesting and complex. i love that, and i love jorjah-b's blog. thanks to her for getting my creative juices flowing and always inspiring me. enjoy!
