His home (which we live in) is all him - since he's been single for 8+ years. His home is definitely all about HIS comforts and memories. It's very difficult for me to come in and change things or try to add my things. Our styles are so different, making it very difficult to combine.

There is something about it having an undecorated look that feels personally decorated. There is a lot of depth perhaps that goes beyond the surface decorating that comes from a model home approach or a home filled with pieces from Home Sense or the like.<br />Great post. I gave up years ago on trends and now I find myself truly happy within my own home.<br />Donna@anangloinquébechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074337849133414753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-38610009167930741192013-03-08T04:50:43.301-08:002013-03-08T04:50:43.301-08:00I love this post!

I am an impatient decorator ~ I want what I want now. Thankfully I love with Mr. nowlet'sthinkaboutthisforawhile! The cost of things holds me back ~ so that is also a good thing. I think that a room should reflect you and your loves and the only room in our home that says that is our bedroom. So until I have the money I will have the patience to do it little by little.

Nothing in there was ME. It feels so much more like a home when I surround myself with things that talk to me and mean something to me. Enjoy your weekend!

My husband and I have similar tastes, but he often wants me to part with things that have sentimental value to me. I was just thinking the other day about what I want to be surround by when I am considerably older. I love the memories captured by objects in my home - my grandmother's rocking chair, my kiddos art work, a huge shell from a "soul friend" I met while living in Hawaii. I think it's fun to incorporate objects of meaning into my home. Thanks so much for sharing.
