I totally get what you are saying. A room is never complete, is a representation of you at that moment. I feel the need to change my house decor as I go thru stages in my life. My surroundings need to propel me forward, to inspire!! your blog definitely inspires me. Thanks.

For me it is not about the individual things I put into the rooms in my house it is about the feelings I want to create in my home. I live in Canada now – I used to live in California. Needless to say I loved being in Southern Cali… I love the people, everybody is so layed back. The weather does something to your mood…it is nice and warm everybody is in a good mood… and the BEACH – oh, the beach. I want to recreate the feeling I had when I lived there. Listening to Jack Johnson, sitting outside at drinking coffee in December. Now I live in Canada with -35 degrees celsius. This is my inspiration… and yes, I am never finished either. My husband complains about it though. He says I move thing around too much… whatever lol!!! I love you, I love reading your blog and it makes me happy to see I am not the only crazy blogger out there ….stay the way you are!

I can relate to the “decorating is a process” idea so much. Esp. because the home we are in used to be my parents…it’s the one I grew up in, and after my mom passed away, we moved in to. Now I’m trying to make it my own, but it’s been such a process moving from what I’m used to, and what is trendy, to what makes it my happy home…still working on finding my style. But I find so much inspiration from you and LOVE your style. Glad you started this blog!

In reply to Jen. I feel your pain, Jen! I am redecorating my house, and I am afraid of it because I feel that I did not get it right the first time around. As you, though, I have made this year "they year of decorating chances". If I do not like it, I will change it again. Thank God for blogs like this that give you ideas to do it on a budget :-) Best of luck!

Thanks for posting this! I think I also love the process, and recently, I had an interior design friend come over and she’s kind of scaring me about the “finished product”! 🙂 I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves the actual act of decorating and change! 🙂

I just started reading blogs because I’m a crafter and I sew, so the blogs were very interesting to me. I remember when I first read your blog was when you were puting the bike up. So don’t stop, I enjoy your site very much.

I actually just started to really focus on decorating my house. It’s weird because the style I THOUGHT I had is still there, but it doesn’t really feel like my style. It is comforting to know that you have decorated and re-decorated to just now be finding your real style. I guess it just takes some trial and error and TIME!
