Around the House



I love experimenting with new things. Taking a new route home, trying a new dish, travelling to a new country, introducing new colour into our decor. I am currently going through one of those moments where I want to change all of my surroundings. New pillows, new accent pieces, more neutrals, I get into these funks. Sometimes I feel like I want to sell everything and begin from scratch, minimize, but then I begin to love everything all over again thinking about how each piece represents a memory, and the time I spent picking it out. 

My solution:  Time for a big re-accessorizing day! I strip everything bare, and surface by surface, I rethink and restyle. It feels so good!! 

Do you ever feel like that? 

Here are a few shots from around the house this weekend. xo

  3. Yes! I do this all the time! My husband laughs at how many pillows I buy. It's our running joke.

  4. I get that way all the time! (wanting to just start over from scratch! with the house and with my wardrobe). I think it might be a bit of "spring fever" too :)

  9. I do this all of the time, I call it puttering... I find that the longer I go between my puttering the more blah I feel... strange eh? I guess not for a fellow Designer, you get me! ;)
