My daughter is only 4 and she is already on her 5th address. If one would look at my addresses over the course of the last 10 years it would look like I am running from the law! It is very refreshing to read that someone else out there moves things around to make the house look new. I get so tired of looking at the same things in the same place, but can't afford to purchase new things. I have finally been in this house for 1 year now and need to change things up....thank goodness I am not moving, but I will be moving furniture and accessories with confidence now! Glad to know I'm not crazy!!! Thanks for sharing your awesome thoughts and tips....your home is fabulous :) I was referred to your blog site by a friend and oh my! – I feel like I am reading a biography about myself.

Boy am I glad I could not sleep tonight and found your blog! Finally I have come across a designer who operates the same way I do. No glue gun, roll of stitch witchery or can of paint can escape my grip. I am an obsessive mover of objects from one room to another. After living in a fabulous house for 22 years and using that house as my canvas and creative outlet, I am now a renter as well. Due to divorce, I have rented three houses in the last four years. I share your philosophy on making what you have beautiful. I will admit bouts of torture at not being able to paint or change things or live without not one hint of architectural detail. However, I have come to love an appreciate beige as a neutral backdrop and have created a beautiful home. I recently gave up my corporate job to pursue my passion of interior design full time. I am working on my website and blog and will share some of my photos with you when I'm done. Hi! Boy am I glad I could not sleep tonight and found your blog!
