Pieces of Home

"The home should be the treasure chest of living."

~Le Corbusier

I spend most of my days running errands, doing yoga, going to the darkroom, taking classes, reading or writing and keeping a warm and cozy home. I believe our homes should be simple and only filled with the things that inspire us. Here are some of my home inspirations.

 I have a small travel guitar that my sister gave me. In spare moments I often pick it up and learn one song I'm particularly fond of at the time. I've found that singing in the bathroom and in my dining room makes my voice sound amazing.

 I  LOVE old cameras. I have one 35mm camera from my grandpa, a couple of 620 and 120 film cameras and a couple of old Polaroids. I love that old cameras have seen things I've never seen. Each camera offers a unique way of capturing the world. They are like old mysterious friends.

Chattanooga has a good number of warm winter days. I love sitting on my front porch and reading or writing. Front porches are where I dream of adventures.

 My beautiful bunny, Dixie,  teaches me to slow down and to live in the moment more. Paul and I have been trying to spend our evenings listening to music and sitting near our bunny. It's so relaxing and I know Dixie loves being near us.

 I love pops of color around the house such as these orange pillows, my warm farm blanket and my vintage Muncha poster.

Deer antlers remind me that life is fragile. I also love being able to admire the beauty of the horns from this majestic creature.

 Old maps always make me think about adventures. I like to study them. This is an old map of San Francisco.

Bright scarves seem to brighten up those dreary winter days. I always feel like I'm adding some beauty to the outdoors when I wear one.

I was reading about the importance of light especially during the winter. It is essential to our well being. These old windows let in such beautiful light. I also love how the glass is ripply too. It makes the world outside seem more magical.

My mom gave me this typewriter for Christmas one year. I especially like to type quotes or add words to some of my Polaroid pictures.
