(Most folks will find this question tedious and boring" What was something you accomplished recently that you are proud .
I've always's been a bit anal retentive. I love beautiful design and spaces. When decorating a living room wall with art groupings I took forever to ensure perfect symmetry, clean lines, even spaces and perfect balance. Spending hours for the right outcome.
While I have a lovely collection of art of all kinds, people would simply glance a moment, and say, "Such a lovely collection". Today I realized I needed to make a radical change. Truth is, my environment had become boring, almost sterile. Void of my own personality.
I took EVERYTHING off the walls and decided to change my thinking. I wanted art groupings both whimsical, even a bit eccentric. I wanted these walls to look as intriguing and interesting as I myself would love to be.
It took hours on end, lot's of sweat and frustration trying to make "random" asthetically pleasing and easy on the eye's as I could.
The litmus test was tonight, an old pal dropped by who knows me and the house well. He said, "WOW" several times, and, I never noticed most of these pieces before, what a fantastic group of art"
The point is, don't be afraid to think out of the box and take chances. A home should tell your story and the stories of others long gone. You don't need to be rich to thrive in a beautiful space! You don't have to be a snobby designer to create beautiful rooms. YouTube taught me and can teach you on most ANY budget!
