I love intimate spaces. One of the (many) benefits of having a small cottage is that little decorative vignettes don't seem out of place. When I lived in a large home, I had to decorate in bold strokes - huge artwork, overscaled furniture, etc. Now that I'm living cozier, I can revisit my love of "downscaled" decorating. And, truthfully, it doesn't feel like decorating per se, but rather a visual extension of my true self. And isn't that the the best part of having a home - creating a haven that reflects the soul?
Below are little pockets of my home that make me smile...
 |
| Mikko wanted in on the photo shoot! |
 |
| my bed ~ I love to create wild color combos with pillows |
 |
| My nightstand ~ the gorgeous stained glass lamp was made by my talented mother! Visit her website here |
 |
| One of my bathroom shelves ~ I found the tray at a consignment shop |
 |
| ...these bottles sit on the shelf above the previous photo ~ more thrift shop finds |
 |
| In my bedroom hangs a gorgeous piece of art generously given to me by my blogger friend, Angela of Pennystamper |
 |
| In the bedroom again ~ books, art, and perfume...my idea of heaven |
 |
An adorable little hand towel I found which is draped over a flea-market-find mirror (bedroom)

 |
| In the bathroom, to the right of the sink. My mom made the stained glass night light! |
