    If you buy an antique frame but dont want the photograph, put the one you want in front and leave the other photograph behind, you still keep the photograph but have what you want showing.

      Then when you feel need to change, much like you did in this video, take out the replacement picture and see if your feelings have changed for the original. Sometimes it's just a wrong place wrong time thing. A different time in your life, maybe a new experience is wrapped up in the way you see it then.

    Quick note...the reason the silver pitcher had not be "polished" was because many folks prefer to keep their sterling plated items tarnished. Im thinking the seller chose to leave the "shine" preference up to the person who purchased it. I agree, i love your tiny picture next to the flowers! Lovely job my dear!!!!

    We have a connection. We gut renovated our 150 year old home and kept it true with hidden conveniences. My style is Eclectic Maximalist Relaxed Victorian and a room of Dark Academia. Like you, I feel we have not decorated our home, rather it’s curated. It took 20 years of antique stores, estate sales, flea markets an such and selected each piece. We both inherited our parents things which were from the era where you pass things down to “keep it in the family”. It’s been such a joy but we’re done. Time to just enjoy. We love it.

    Similarly, I used to be afraid of totem poles. When I was a kid we saw the Tiki Room show at Disney World and I was sitting very near a decorative totem pole when all of sudden it started moving and singing, totally freaking me out! I did not like seeing or being near totem poles for a loooong time after that. So long, that I forgot the Disney Tiki Room. Eventually, I got over my fear. And I only recently connected it back to the Tiki Room when I went there with my own kids and the totem poles started singing again ha.

    I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this video!! I really loved the silver little pitcher as soon as you picked it up in the shop. I was surprised that the duck didn’t make the final cut as I was sure it would, lol. Anyhow, your videos are so fun. There’s often some cuteness and sweetness without being cloyingly so. I really enjoy and appreciate your uniqueness in everything you do and really love how you fully embrace you! Your style of decorating and the style choices you make are so fully representative of you, and they work perfectly. I’m often left thinking how your choice of placement of an item or color choice make perfect sense and look marvelous. You’re so intentional with your choices and I love it. The way your house is coming together is such a representation of you and that is exactly what a home should be! Cannot wait to continue watching your journey in more videos.

What could be a seemingly mundane object or a task, you manage to see a spark in it and make this magical art.
    This was so much more than just buying a few materialistic things and the end. The whole process of searching for the right trinkets for you and than restoring them, truly appreciating them in it's full glory and than finding the ever so fulfilling right spot for them in your beautiful home was just so aaaaa. :) I love it!🌸🌺
