This is so true. When I was younger I never saw the other side of anything that I didn't like. Now that I am older I love just seeing what other people do even if it isn't my taste and I do feel that I get something out of other folks projects.

I would warm it up a bit but.....I would take the books and put them on the shelves in an interesting way with some of the neat things she has and that back brick wall I would fin a great antique crazy quilt or a huge old sign with some color in it. Her place is great.

This is such great advice. My husband seems to think that a house always has to look like it picture perfect 24/7. Consequently he purchases furniture that is uncomfortable cause he thinks it just looks better. Wants nothing anywhere that says we live here.

Oh my goodness!!!!! I love your place. I wish I was 30 years younger and starting over because your place is exactly how mine would look. I have so many of the things you have and they are packed away.

This man is amazing. The outfit rocks but more importantly is his eye for collecting. Is he married?

Oh my gosh this is the best salad ever I have had one very similar Can't wait to make one for dinner!!!

I know exactly what you went through. My problem though is that I am 55years old and the keeper of everything as people pass away. Some how i just can't seem to part with things. As a result I too have a storage unit and my dads house that is full and my own home. I think some people are just the keepers of things for many reasons. The unfortunate thing is that you pass it on to your children. One of mine also lives in a loft in Chicago and has things that should find their way to the alley. Another shares a apartment in the city also but is a major collector of things like is mother.
