Home, Sweet Home

Hope all you lovely people had a great 4th of July weekend. 

I am falling in love with my house all over again. 

I have always loved this house, but now after the flood, we needed to repaint the walls and so many things basically forced us to redecorate and I love it even more. I'll be posting some pictures here once I find my real camera. Should be soon.

Everything old is new again. Funny how you get a fresh perspective on things once you move them around and change them up a little. 

As I said, I haven't found my camera yet, but here's a 5-minute spread I just threw together that reflects my style. As you can tell, I love simplicity and a travelled-feel.

My current obsession is this site (LOVE the tin switch plates and what a great price!) I absolutely love Mexican furniture. That, and Indonesian stuff. And Thai. And some Indian (not the glittery and bright stuff though). And primitive African art. Moroccan lamps... well, you get the idea.

My dream home would be something like this, somewhere in South-East Asia:

There's something so soothing about spending the Summer home. I was going to be in Central America and visiting some islands but that is postponed, for a number of reasons. 

For once, I just really appreciate being home.

Thank you guys for reading.

Until next time.

Agnes

Nice!! Real nice! I love your taste and style. Yes, there is no place like home, even my dogs think so after 2 days of camping on the beach. They were so happy to be home. Me, too.

Love,
Robyn

Great interior decorating! Wish I could get my place looking that great!

[Zhu]

Glad to see you are back home! I know you missed it.

I love interior decorating but I had to refrain myself. See, you buy a bookshelf because you need it and next thing you know, it doesn't go well with the rest of the furnitures and you end up changing everything!

If only I had the budget for that...

Hmmm the house(s) in google images do look cozy.

And guess what? I found an old friend of Jamie's. Surprised? Hold on a while, you'll know :P

You have great taste and I love the feel you have put together. It is amazing what rearranging can do I agree, I have to play around at least once a year and switch up the furniture and also narrow down to only being with things I really love and enjoy.

I also love your outfit and shoes!! :)

Cannot wait to see the updates when you get your camera back, and I also wanted to send you your favorite print just cause, so when you have a moment I would love to get your address to send.
Have a wonderful week.

Welcome back Agnes :)

[Kiran]

I love your picture agnes and I love your shoes. And your style and taste of home decor is so unique and classy.

[Angeli]

wow! you have lovely things, agnes. ..and the pictures of your dream home, that's how i envision our beach house, too. :)

Super. Finally you are moving back home. I can imagine what it must have felt like to live in a hotel for sooooo long. Looks like you are going to get real busy. Please do post pics of your house as and when you are able to.

[Heather]

First, I have to say that I LOVE your shoes! Okay... that's done. LOL I am so happy that you are back home now. I imagine living in a hotel was fun at first, but I know you must be glad to be done with it! I can not wait to see the photos of your renovations. I'm sure they are lovely!

[Agnes]

Thanks so much for all the compliments and guess what? You made my shoes blush... Killer heels I tell you!

I got them at ALDO's, these were the last pair, but they do still have them on their website...

Hi Agnes;
I was also admiring those beautiful images you posted of your dream home as well as the ones of our actual home when I realized that what I really loved were the comments you got. I loved all of them. Sure those shoes are great but the whole post was really a focus on aesthetics and beauty and it seemed to really strike a cord. Beauty, style, and aesthetics are such a powerful communication and they truly bring out the best in us all. What a pleasure to read what our friends have to say and how nicely they say it.
Love
Geoff

I love your dream house! It makes me dream of far away places, beautiful beaches, and weather. I definitely think I could handle there!

[Nino Natividad]

"Everything old is new again. Funny how you get a fresh perspective on things once you move them around and change them up a little." JUST AWESOME, I say.

Your house is beautiful, Agnes. God bless you, Geoff and of course, Jam baby.

Am I late here?

[tulipspeaks]

[Duni]

Hi Agnes,

I used to live/work in Indonesia and I just adore the furniture. Indonesians are really talented cabinetmakers. Your home looks wonderful. It does have that 'Asian' touch indeed.

I think we've got the same taste in homes. I really love the tropics and Pacific island theme. I also love your shoes.....that's hot.
