I’ve been staring at these pictures for days. I can’t really say that this is my/our “style” but I love everything about these images. Although, I must say that the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. If I were to take the elements found here and ask myself if I loved them, most of them would end up in the no pile. But for some reason, all together, they work.

I’m even more fascinated by how they make me feel. They feel like home. This may not be what I’d like my home to look like, but they’re exactly what I’d like it to feel like. I’m a big fan of big, clean, minimalistic and almost stark homes but I don’t know that I could live in one. It just isn’t practical, the amount of upkeep it would require alone exhausts me. But aside from that I think it’d feel cold and lonely. I’d rather cuddle up with my honey on a big comfy couch surrounded by  images and tchotchkes full of memories. I want my home to feel lived in. To feel loved.
