Of House and Home
Readers-
Let’s chat about living spaces. How do you feel about your living space? Do you feel like it is a representation of who you are or could you care less? I am a big believer in spaces full of simple beauty and comfort. When I have a bad day at work or I am coming back home after a long absence, I find it very comforting to know I will be returning back to a home that exudes welcome, comfort, and warmth.
Have you ever heard the William Morris quote “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” This is something I am trying to work on. Having graduated from college, left apartment life behind and moved into a little 1950s house with Alan and his dog, I am making a conscious effort to have our home reflect that quote. Out went the plastic plates and bowls, the playboy shot glasses, the plastic cups and in came the glass dishes and cups. Of course we still have the Goodwill sofa, the hand-me-down t.v. cabinet, the Target bedside table, and many more remnants of college life; but slowly these things will go as we invest in our home and lives together using the William Morris quote as a guide.
