Live With What You Love

Tweet

This is part of my challenge on things to write about. It’s all about furniture and antiques and heirlooms and filling your house with the things you love, whether it’s furniture or rugs or pictures you have on the wall. It’s about LIKING your surroundings in your house or apartment. Decorating the rooms to suit YOUR style, and being comfortable with where you live. I think its important to feel that when you come home from work, your home environment should feel comfortable and pleasant. It should be a place where you WANT to spend your evenings, relaxing, even if your furnishings are simple and inexpensive. Do you prefer contemporary furniture or classical furniture? I’m not saying that I can afford to have the kind of furniture I would prefer. I just like to “IMAGINE” what I would choose if money was not an issue. I sort of like the “country” style furniture. Comfortable overstuffed chairs and sofas and big wooden dining tables and chairs. I don’t like the modern or contemporary look. And while “antique” furniture is nice, if the whole house is done in that style, I really am not into the antique look. What I have in my house is comfortable. The recliner matches the couch and the table and chairs for dining are made of wood with a nice table cloth. Nothing fancy, that’s for sure. As for an heirloom, I don’t have one, except a quilt that my grandmother made. And I don’t use it or display it. It’s quite old and possibly fragile. I keep it in a cedar chest. Do you have something that would be considered an heirloom? Something “handed down” perhaps from your grandmother? Picture by Pixabay
