My wunderkammer wanderings led me to D’Ette Cole’s site. Amazing, inspiring, at times confronting for the minimalists of you out there. If clutter is not your thing look away now.
I love things and I can be somewhat of a hoarder at times so I love this look and in particular the top 2 images. I think the possesion of “things” makes a house a home and in particular a house with your very own things which you have collected over time makes it YOUR home!!
I so agree Anna. Some of my most treasured items are things of little monetary value but steeped in memory and meaning. They are the first things I unpack whenever I move. I do not feel I have settled in properly until I have arranged my vignettes.
Me too Jo!! They are the things which remind us of home yet so many people just think of these things as junk – they are the people without soul in my opinion!!
But there’s vignettes, and then there’s clutter. Some specifically arranged items on top of a few dressers/buffets is perfect. Stuff all over every flat surface in your home can get to be a bit much and too distracting. Oh ya, love those top 2 pics too!!!!!
I love this look. I love when a space has been look slowly collected and is completely personal. It’s probably the closest to what I go for in my own home.
It’s soooo strange. Anna and I are having our weekend powwow at the moment about Casapinka. I just sent her an email about that Les Indiennes bed and those images with the parasols. Now I see she commented on both of them. It’s the kiddie room we are discussing, so something interesting will hopefully come as a result of D to I!
