It’s fascinating to discover the mood of a person’s home—the things they choose to collect, the way the furniture is arranged, and the items which make up the unique personalities of the people who live within its walls. I’d describe our home as weathered, warm, eclectic, and messy. I am sentimental. I have lots of artwork made by my kids, plants, a teacup collection from one grandmother, a glass perfume bottle collection from another, ceramics, and lots of books and photographs.
I’ve been mostly homebound this week so I decided to photograph things around my house—a tiny glimpse into the place I call home. I hope something here brings a smile to your face.
Next week I’ll be attending a music festival and should have some interesting photos to share with you. Have a wonderful week and, if you live where it’s heating up, stay safe!

Oh, I want that typewriter! And I want whatever that is (jacket?) lying across it with the handwriting printed on it.

Some wonderful images of house and home – all the things you mentioned in your intro!
Couldn’t help but notice the Kimball piano. Do you play?

Thank you, Carolyn! I do play the piano-although not very well. It was always my dream growing up to have a piano and this one was gifted to me a few years ago. It brings me a lot of joy.

I know what you mean. It was a dream of mine to, one day, play the piano. I always saw myself, in my later days, playing. Now I have that piano and am learning to play. Definitely a dream come true. And, as you said; it brings a lot of joy!

How exciting!! Last year I learned several Christmas carols and being able to play beside the roaring fire and the decorated tree was seriously the most beautiful of moments. Happy playing!

Sounds magical…
Here in Australia Christmas time is generally in heat wave weather; so no roaring fires for me. Being able to play almost anything, though, brings little shivers! What fun!

I’m in LOVE with your style, your taste, AND your ecliptic personality 🥰. I’m very similar in a way. I think my blog post called “the leap” has pictures of inside my little house. I wonder what you’d gleam from mine!
