For the Home

As many of you know, I'm currently in the process of looking for a little place to call my own, home  if you will. As if perusing Local listings isn't tough enough, the idea of decorating is even more daunting. Not daunting in the way an undesirable task would be,  I'm more or less referring to my restraint to hold back on purchasing things before actually moving in.

Yes..I am somewhat of an impulse home decor shopper! I find myself saying, "Well, I should just get it now, that way I'll be all set when I move in." {great reasoning ;) }. However, the more I think about it the more I realize that the best decorated spaces are those that feel like the space they consume. Take for instance an apartment building from the 60s-70s, theres just so many architectural details that scream to be brought to life, or at least to this decade. Where as a modern "new-age" building relise on sleek streamline finishes. I wouldn't necessarily decorate the two the same, which got me to thinking that my home decor shopping should probably be put on hold until I can actually get a feel for the living space.

Lucky for me I received some lovely gifts for Christmas from my family that I can't wait to put to use.

  2. It's a bit of a headache trying to fit what you've got into your new house, my old stuff is just kind of stuck in a cupboard, I'll figure out ways to fit it in eventually

  3. I love those coasters! They actually take me back to my childhood- I collected rocks. Agates were my fave. Don't ask. Rock collection?? I know. Still, here I am drawn to a sparkly rock coaster.

  6. Good luck with house-hunting! I'm absolutely the same way- I buy up things right then, when I see them in stores, "just so I'll have them." :)
