Personally I don't mind a bit of 'organized' clutter... now
Flylady says there is no such thing but I disagree! I like a
homey look with a row of neat and dusted antique clay pitchers
that top my bookshelf in my family room... I like the floral's
and old blue mason jars that adorn the top of my kitchen
cabinets and I like the three bowls that set as center pieces on
my dining room table. I like 'details' in my decorating! I can
honestly say that 99% of my friends as well as acquaintances
have told me over & over again that they have seen something
or picked me up this or that because, in their words, "It looked
just like you Jean!" My friends know what I like because my
home & gardens are a reflection of me. Now don't get me
wrong... as I mentioned in a few blogs ago, my upstairs hallway
is NOT ME! It is dark paneling and really old, ugly carpet...
it is my boys play space. I realize that my home is not just a
reflection of me, but also my family, I just like certain things
and I like things to look a certain way... and that way just
happens to say "me"! My goal is to make our home both cozy
& welcoming while allowing our children to be children. My
challenge to you in all this is to do the same. Don't decorate
your home to 'please' others or even the latest & greatest
trends... make you home yours & your families~ and have fun
doing it!
