home tour

So i promised you something different, yes? Well, i suppose i promised myself something different. Let’s get it straight.  I’d like to start a new feature on this blog--a home tour feature if you will. A little peek into someone else's home, capturing their surroundings. Something different...rooms that reveal that a real person lives there, with their own tastes and fancies. Rooms that boast an effort that’s been made to go beyond the ordinary white/beige show homes, and to create a space for themselves that is all their own. Design that happens sometimes out of necessity and sometimes out of pure frivolity. Proof that people don’t live like magazines. Admittedly though i am a sucker for looking at design magazines, but i love it when the “rules” are broken and people just go with their instinct and with what they love. So let’s have at it, shall we?

I want to introduce you to snippets of a friend of mine’s house, let’s call her J for short shall we? I was recently house sitting for her and became inspired to begin this blog feature as i walked from room to room, watering the plants.

 

This girl's got class, no? I love it when people become fearless with using color on their walls, and this place is a true example of that. Hope you enjoyed the tour!
