This is SO inspiring! We are in the midst of the fun (but slightly overwhelming!) process of buying our first home. Our current apartment came partially furnished so other than a bed, a slightly uncomfortable couch, a bookcase, and a few other small pieces we are missing many of the items we will need to fill our home! Our goal is to slowly acquire pieces from garage sales, thrift shops, and handmade items for our new place and learn about the process of reclaiming furniture as we go! It’s so nice to see how lovely a home decorated this way looks! I can’t wait to support other artists and crafters on Etsy and locally by purchasing their handmade items :) Wonderful feature!

I love your picks Marichelle! So cute and so shabby. You’ve got great style.

lovely detail photos. I think decorating a home could be a “freeing” thing if we can convince ourselves that we truly are doing it for ourselves to enjoy.

I guess it is just me, but I’m starting to feel like all these “sneak” peeks are beginning to look and feel the same. Is it just me?

you definitely have developed a consistent aesthetic based on your choices. they all have a vintagey- natural (rustic) feel in a color palette that seems to have softened with age.

i keep a fairly neutral color foundation and just go with what i love hoping it will all work out together ;).
