Amazing!! A Wunderkammer, full of intriguing curiosities to explore. Somehow just right for an archeologist! Love the collection of soapstone and brass pots.

Lovely! Sweet spots everywhere and they all transition into one another beautifully (those gorgeous doors!). The mediation room is a gem. And the advice "fire your therapist and hire an interior designer" brought back memories of reading the book, "House As a Mirror of Self: Exploring the Deeper Meaning of Home."

Completely charmed by the sense of wonder and discovery this home holds. An "environment that is...conversational", oh yes. One of the things I enjoy most about living with vintage pieces are the evolving stories, emotions and ideas that seem to float in the air around them.

My computer can't handle flash at all, so I didn't even get to the experience that everyone is commenting on. Any chance that live streams like this could come along with the interview written out, or at least a summary of what was talked about? I'm missing out on something I'm interested in!

My grandfather was a rancher and I grew up with appreciation and respect for all aspects of the bovine nature, both during the cow's life and after. Love the color on this one...

Great post with really interesting comments!

I'm a fan of Karen Kingston's book and definitely learned a lot about myself and the stuff I choose to keep.

(Books are high on my lists of stuff, I could stock a small library.)

I realize I'm continually evolving and am not necessarily the same person I was when I first got some of my stuff. I love being able to keep the memories and not always having to keep the stuff. And besides, I want room for new stuff.

But wait, a lot of my New stuff is really vintage stuff, other people's Old stuff!

All that being said, check out the book;

A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder.

An excellent read and an open doorway to just letting yourself relax into your own style.
