HOUSE: Inspirations

As some of you already know, I am moving back in with my mother.  Almost 10 years after she'd cut the apron strings, the fabric of life has mended itself thread by thread to reconnect us in this way.  To say that I am apprehensive about it is a vast understatement!  Although I am mostly a Type B, my personality is sprinkled with bits of Type A -just enough to clash with my mother's dominating Type A.  

But we love each other, so we bicker, we argue, then we eat a good meal and let by gones be by gones.  That's how we have always been, and I suspect probably always will be...which I am fine with because at the end of the day, I have a full belly filled with delicious food and my mother and I are in good standing.  

So in my free time, instead of doing things which are productive like studying or packing, I have dedicated myself to the task of decorating my "someday in the future dream home".  :)  I love the clean, simple, natural elegance of a beach house (for example, half of Pottery Barn's catalog).  At the same time I am drawn to bright, colorful, ornate things as well.  And since I doubt there will be enough income to supply me with a house each for my varying tastes, I foresee in my future a hodge-podge of different pieces, minus the chaotic aspects.   This will be an ongoing project of random musing and things that I would love to decorate my little corner of the world with.  This is what I have so far...

I want a really colorful hammock outside for leisurely reading and Sunday naps.

Below is a picture of a Pier1 table I have my eyes on.  I <3 this table top!  I couldn't find a picture to do it justice, but take my word for it, it's divine in person!

Hang that hammock on the wisteria tree, replace this black table with my aforementioned table, plant a bunch of lovely herbs and flowers in the open lawn and call me a happy girl!!
