Purty Digs

Ah!! I found an Interbot house that totally encourages me about my own dwelling choices!! I love my decor style, and couldn't change it if I wanted, because it's so *me*...that being said, sometimes I give myself a hard time about not being more grown-up or coordinated. We have ZERO store-bought furniture (all hand-me-downs or thrift), nothing matches, everything is torn/scraped/chipped/etc. I like to think we are a less red-headed, fairly un-witchy version of the Weaslys from Harry Potter.


I love my cozy home, but get all miffed sometimes when I go somewhere that is color coordinated, fragrant, and crazy-clean. :(

These are some other homes I love...from Moon To Moon blog.

Here's a little snippet of our house:


This Nikki McClure card is a great image of how I want my home to feel: 


Anyhoo...this virtual house tour on Apartment Therapy totally made me smile. It also made me want to make plant babies of all my house plants, paint more rooms, and lift my self-imposed ban on cool thrift decorations. Uhhh, maybe I shouldn't have gotten rid of all those vintage suitcases during my brief obsession with the 100 Things Challenge....

And how does this relate to Vegan MOFO, you ask? Well I'm on it! This house is in Victoria, BC, where my very favorite, ultra-glam, vegan heroine herself, Sarah Kramer, lives. Score!!!

i love this post! in the last five years, i have veared (?) away from the traditional, neatsy-weetsy-coordinating home decor. (not that there's anything wrong with that). I just have found my place and find freedom and relaxation for me and my circus. I have already taken the pledge to not purchase any new furniture while my kids are in the house...learning that kids are hard on things! :)

would love to see some shots of your home!
