For some reason I am still interested in homekeeping. I read lots of blogs and magazines and I have even explored Marie Kondo’s method of tidying up. The thing that really has my attention, however, is television programs and set designs.
I recently watched the entire series of Gilmore Girls and was totally fascinated with the Gilmore house. Nothing matches, it defines shabby chic and is so welcoming and doesn’t look the least bit cluttered even though it is.
Now I am watching Parenthood. I have loved the Braverman house since I watched it originally. Again, it almost looks like the clutter was purposely designed that way. I guess it was. Again, it looks warm and homey and inviting.
I have tried to aspire to the minimalist agenda but I know my pack rat husband just can’t do that. It would take about five seconds for him to clutter up a minimal coffee table because he is very dysfunctional with flat surfaces — he likes to see them covered in stuff. I hate it but I have never been able to change him. At this point in my life that struggle is over.
So I have been trying to create a warm, eclectic living environment that is welcoming and comfortable. What do I call it, this style?
Hot mess.

I'd love it if you posted pictures of your "hot mess". I always like to see how people decorate their houses and what books they have on their shelves. Tells you a lot right there. I could never do the Marie Kondo thing; I love my collections way too much. Although I'm trying to decide which things I like least so those can be let go.
