Today Kate spoke about her home being a Copper Art home. Now I don't for a moment believe that to be really true but I guess many of us can identify with starting our homes with stock, standard decorating ideas.
There is no real reason though why we should continue to be crowd followers if we don't want to.
I've used my very dodgy camera to point and shoot a few corners of my home to prove that it doen't need to take a lot of money to make a home feel individual.

What great photos - I totally love unmatching furniture. One of these days I'm definitely throwing out my matching dining chairs for a lovely set of old unmatching ones.
ReplyDeletePS - that shoe cupboard is ingenious!
Love,love,love seeing your corners of such finds and the story behind them.
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen the nicest furniture, Cherrie! Or did it choose you?
Isnt it astounding to see how much there is to be had on the roadside? I had to stop myself from driving around this time cos we are at maximum capacity here.

I love all those beautiful corners. The continuing theme of white jugs is really nice.... next white jug I see at the oppy is going to be mine :-)
