These posts were based on the feelings, ideas, and rambling thoughts around which my own personal theory of design evolved..... memories that matter, things I've 'gotta thing' for, the 'must haves' in my life.
These things are a part of me, and therefore by extension must be a part of my home if it's to be somewhere I feel I truly belong..... a place where my heart sings and my personality shines through.
Listed below, are the posts that for me, convey something about the core of my design philosophy, and have something to suggest about what could be at the core of yours.
They're the posts that give the best sense of what this blog is based on. If they resonate with you, I hope you'll stick around for more!
