This morning, I'm in our living room. You can see that it's not quite light outside...but I'm dressed and ready for ANYTHING!
All clothing and accessories are thrifted. (Nothing new though.) The rocking chair belonged to my grandparents. It is both comfortable and comforting.
Whether a trend or here-to-stay, minimalism is "hot" right now. On the one hand, simpler and smaller and slower are attractive concepts to me. In reality, they are very DIFFICULT for me to achieve. I was somewhat relieved to read the following quote from a decorator while browsing through magazines earlier this week:

Alas! I believe I belong to the Peter Frank School of Decorating!
I'm with you, maybe we should start a Peter Frank fan club, LOL! Love the rocker, things with family history are so special.

The quote's true, houses are meant to be filled with all we love. They are such a reflection of our true selves, and bring so much comfort!
ReplyDeleteJoanne, Thanks for echoing my feelings!
ReplyDeleteDarla, You wanna be the President?
I can appreciate the simplicity of minimalism but at the end of the day I want to be surrounded by my stuff! Not sure "stuff" is a decorator word but you know what I mean.

Hi Rebecca...I'm with you and Peter! Susan
ReplyDeleteyou have a lovely home. we too are trying minimalism to decorate our apartment
ReplyDeleteLove your new pictures you look lovely and I take the same motto as you.... to thrift is just to be lol!! But I always remove things we are not using and bring them for some one else to thrift ~Blessings Heather
ReplyDeleteAren't thrift store shopper and minimalist mutually exclusive terms? LOL!! I admire my minimalist friends...we have some dear ones and enjoy their "look" whenever I'm at their place. It can be an art form in itself...it's just not mine. I think they equally enjoy coming an seeing my "stuff" ... everyone has a different taste in style and in what makes us feel settled at home. Rebecca that photo looks like it came out of a magazine! It is really a great shot! You have some gorgeous pieces!
ReplyDeleteJacquelyn, Yes, I think thrift store shoppers and minimalists ARE mutually exclusive terms.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the lovely things in your house. I'm not a minimalist in my decor either - I really love to see my things displayed. I love beauty, colour and detail.
