"I can't imagine somebody decorating my house.
It would be like someone dressing me every morning, telling me what to wear."
~ Anon.
This quote makes me happy. :)
This quote, plus all the design/decor blog-perusing I do all day long in my free time, makes me think...
I Can't Imagine:
- Someone else decorating my house
- Not changing my mind about my decor whenever the hell I please, or leaving something for more than a year.
- my house without fifty-frazillion houseplants perched and hanging all over the place
- living somewhere without HUGE windows
- not being able to open the windows on cool, rainy days
- creating space in my house not inspired by the way I want to feel while I'm in it
- building a decor that doesn't include at least one altar or household shrine
- decorating for a living, lol (many people tell me I should, but, the last thing I ever want is for this beloved hobby to become just a job. Also, non-friend clients are mostly a-holes).
- pink, anywhere in my house. Or yellow. Except in flower form, and cat noses.
- that I'll ever be "done" with anything
What about you?

I agree with you on the decorating as a living...but for art and/or sewing. It would totally ruin it for me. Not that I don't sew on commission, or wouldn't do a mural or something also on commission, but to *have* to do it, on someone else's schedule...oh hell no.
ReplyDeleteAt one point in time I would have said the exact same thing about pink and (brighter) yellow. But with the Mexican folk art theme percolating...
You have inspired my writing for today...stay tuned. :)
