The Story on My Walls

What’s your home decoration style?

My decorating style is probably best described as “If it makes me smile, it gets a spot.”

I love old things that look like they’ve lived a life before finding their way to me. Oversized clocks. Distressed wood. Vintage-looking signs with words that remind me who I want to be. Warm lamps that make a room feel like someone is always home.

Then I sprinkle in pieces that tell my story.

A vase overflowing with hydrangeas because fresh flowers make an ordinary Tuesday feel special. A Hamilton book because some stories deserve a permanent place in the room. And yes…a sign that simply says FABULOUS because sometimes we all need a little reminder – plus it’s my fave word.

I don’t worry much about whether something is trendy. Trends come and go faster than my Amazon deliveries. Home should feel like a collection of your favorite memories, not a page torn from a furniture catalog.

When people walk into my house, I don’t want them to notice the furniture first. I want them to feel comfortable. I want them to see little pieces of my family, my personality, and the things that make me laugh, think, and appreciate life.

Maybe that’s my decorating style after all.

Not farmhouse. Not rustic. Not vintage.

Just…me.
