| sunny corner at my house |
I realize that I've never posted about the kind of home interiors that I dream about. Every home that I envy has a lot of sunlight, first and foremost. And white walls. That's it, that's what I wish I had these days. The thing is, I totally switch back and forth between wanting to live in a gypsy caravan, or a crazy home like
Pamela Love (still white walls, still lots of sunlight!) and wishing that my entire house was like the bedroom at the top of this post: empty except for essentials. The thing is, I guess, I just have too much going on for my home to be that empty. Fabric, jewelry supplies, many books, an old school tv that I refuse to replace until tvs are just stickers on the wall (which is
going to happen), cameras, dog stuff, bike stuff, so much stuff! We've definitely been getting rid of things, but I think Jeff and I both still want to purge more. Living in such a small space has been pushing us in the direction of downsizing and we're both ready to live with a lot less around us. The thing is, where do you put a giant record collection in a minimalist home?
What kind of spaces do you dream of? Simple and serene; eclectic and colourful? Both, like me? I think the answer for me is to move to a bigger space and get nothing new. It's hard to jam a life into less than 800 square feet. But you do what you've gotta do in Vancouver. Finally, do you have any favourite interior images or blogs to share? Have a great weekend, everyone!
