We have a 3 yr old granddaughter that we have one to two days each week. Need I say our home is mostly devoted to her needs and possessions. But besides the playhouse, easel, and baskets, around the house containing all her toys, I am getting there with becoming a minimalist and heading toward a neutral pallet. She brings so much joy, I am ok with not having a perfect home right now. There will be time for that; probably too soon.

Oh, you should be so proud you are American with a Scottish background.

How fascinating that you have lived in all those places! I have never lived in Europe, but I have Scotch-Irish heritage and love to incorporate that into my home! Thanks for sharing! Maybe one day you could tell more of your story!

Yvonne,
As I have said before I really think our homes should reflect who we are not the latest trend. I love to look at beautiful homes in magazines and books as well as on the internet and often pick up ideas but my home tells guests that I am a lover of nature reflected in my decorating colors , an avid gardener, traveler,reader, bird watcher, cook, animal lover, collector of thrift, vintage and antiques.Love to decorate my home for the holidays and seasons and most important I am child of God, a wife of 55 yrs to my wonderful husband, a grandmother of 10, soon to become a great grandmother. My God, family and home are very important to me and I hope anyone coming to visit will feel the love.

They should reflect what we love, not what the current design trend is. I see many pictures of rooms that could be juxtaposed with each other and no one would notice. Who wants to live in a motel where all the rooms are alike?
