A little late on the commenting for this one, but it’s such a good reminder as we are still trying to get our home decorated. I’ve been tempted so many times to just get stuff to fill the space, but am waiting (it’s hard though) until we find things we truly love. My favorite right now is the wall decor in our kitchen that my granddaddy and both brothers worked on for Matthan. Love it because they each had a part in it. http://tinyurl.com/nekeyl

An elderly lady passed away on the first floor of my building and she was an artist. Lots of her things were left in the garage for trash. I was so happy when I returned from my trip and found this large destressed picture frame, white and actually thought of you! I have it in my bedroom and don’t know what I am going to do with it, but I am not going to throw it away! It’s wonderful! I was so glad to be able to save it. When I figure out how to put pictures on the computer and send them to you I will take a picture of this frame. It is so you! Love you and happy birthday week! Aunt Toni

I am always struggling with passing up things that I really love. Sometimes it is the price (so silly, GW IS my dept. store) , sometimes it is that I was looking for one thing but found this other jewel that doesn't necessarily fit my "style". I have to remind myself that a home is a personal thing. You can't let others-even bloggers you admire-dictate what your home should look like. .-= Rachel´s last blog ..Trash to treasure-A dresser rescue =-.

Or, I’ll be shopping and think, This looks just like Robin. Or my mother. Especially in antique stores.

I have a tiny door right now on my front porch. It’s on the side of the house. It’s very old and too short to use as a real door. But I love it. Still trying to decide how to use it.

I love to decorate my kitchen with cobalt blue glass. I don't just buy anything though. The piece has to really "hit" me which is why I only have a few pieces. I find them at thrift stores, yard sales and E-bay. .-= Eileen´s last blog ..My Newest Project – Baby Poncho =-.

It depends. Sometimes I get so caught up in waiting for the perfect thing to come along that I get stuck and leave a room or part of it empty for a long time. On those occasions I may buy something to fill the space. But the older I get the less I desire to buy things that I don't have a stronger connection with. .-= Vicky´s last blog ..Simplicity. =-.
