I guess I just don't mind clutter. My house looks lived in--because it is; in every square foot of it's less than 1000 square feet.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-41637579304323213902013-02-21T03:07:45.959-05:002013-02-21T03:07:45.959-05:00Couldn't agree more.

My decor is not shabby chic, it's just plain shabby (and cat-clawed). But it is warm and comfortable -- and it is home.

That means hair and muddy paw prints at times, but it all comes with lots of love and laughter and I wouldn't change a thing! Well, maybe a weekly cleaning service to clean the bathrooms and floors wouldn't bother me too much.

I'm with Vintage Gal and think most of the time the spaces are staged and, really, who does shoot photos of their home when it's cluttered up? I love my cozy, comfy home but it's definitely not perfect. Especially with the 4 furbabies we have now. :) Love the quote!Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-32457548284765909412013-02-19T15:07:38.158-05:002013-02-19T15:07:38.158-05:00What a great post!

However, it is ever evolving as I swap this for that and that for something else. I think curating the space is part of what makes me really and truly appreciate everything I own.
