This is our home, and as much as I can I try to keep things simple and spare.
I’m easily overstimulated, and there are already such big personalities living here *cough* that it’s just not necessary for rooms to shout.
Not even the grown men in the house can resist the swing.
I am a fan of DIYs and inexpensive finds (or FREE finds…benches in dining room were found curbside). I snag accessories for pennies at the flea market and shop eBay (even our tub was an eBay find!).
Important art is not in the budget. I create some, find pieces on etsy, and barter with my friends. For me, painting and creating are lovely lovely therapy.
Even the huge Marie Antoinette chandelier above was scored on eBay for cheap! The architectural fragment above our bathroom mirror is old and French.
Thanks for taking a peek!
Peace to you right where you are.

Don't mind me, I love having time to go back through blogs to see what I've missed. So glad I took the time with yours. Your home is so lovely. I never tire of white or vintage {repro or authentic}. The flooring in your kitchen/dining is a similar colour to ours. I like the mix of modern and vintage, which is what we're aiming to achieve. And a swing – I said to my husband don't worry I'm not asking for an indoor swing. My daughter is most disappointed. I'm off to look at some more posts.
Beautiful home!
Simply lovely. Your home is just beautiful. Such wonderful inspiration..Thank you for sharing. Enjoy the Day! Bobbie
