Around The House

Have you had the opportunity to read the March 2010 issue of Romantic Homes? It is titled “The Color Issue” – and, of course, features homes that are decorated with A LOT of fresh and vibraint color! I love it!

As I made my way through each page, I cannot begin to tell you how many of YOU I thought about. There are colorful afghans, floral pillows, whimsy next to the not-so-whimsy, directions on how to make a fabulous table runner, what to do with a yard of fabric and a page of THE cutest vintage items offered at a shop in southern California. I won’t give away too much, but I do encourage you to take a peek at this issue. It is like stepping into spring - so fresh!!

But for now…..come into my blog door….

because today’s post are photos that I have taken around our home over the past three years. Like many of you, things in our home get moved around and walls get painted different colors. Cabinets get changed out with different collections and decorative objects find themselves being tucked away in a box until they make their debut at another time in the year. Some favorite pieces even get sold – sometimes with regret, but hey, we cannot keep everything? Or should we?

Our homes evolve, just as we do. Our tastes change, styles change and colors change. Though no matter the changes, we just need to remember to be true to our selves. Surround yourself with what brings a smile to your face, what makes your heart go pitter-patter and gives you the feeling that your home is “Home Sweet Home."

So come along, go on a “scroll” with me……

…these are a few of my favorite things…..(as I have Julie Andrews singing in my head…..)

Our homes are reflections of us.

May they always be good ones.
