Continuing on with the discussion of home decor aesthetics, let me share my ideas on “home”. I have been married forever and we started our home with brand new furniture bought “on time” and decorated with wedding presents. I have since received gifts of home goods and inherited hand me downs from family. I still have a lot of that furniture, too.
I rarely buy anything new just because I like it except for my big, fat, blue bird of happiness! And a wooden carousel horse. I can’t take a photo of it, however, it is up too high. Most of my decor has sentimental value. The things I have around me are things that mean something to me, that remind me of fun times and special people. So, here we go.
Here is the big, fat bluebird of happiness. He makes me happy. I can’t remember where I got him. Maybe Pier One.

Decor that has personal meaning is the best kind.
I love your new chenille bedspread.
I grew up in New Orleans! So I especially love those tiles. All of your treasures are so nice. Pier One had so many pretty items. I have a little glass redbird from there. Your mother-in-law was a talented lady! Last but not least, what a darling bedspread. I love chenille, many memories!
Hi, GM! Thank you! They are cozy and feel “right” to me.
Hi, Merry! thanks! We were just in New Orleans this last spring break and I loved it. Spent a day at the WW II museum and two days in the French Quarter. My husband, daughter, and granddaughter spent a day at the Audubon Zoo while I stayed in icing my arthritic knees! We arrived the day they announced heir first confirmed covid case so we were all a little concerned about that but what fun we had! I will be going back,
