captures the state of my house and my mind. I have a treasure trove of knick knacks cluttering the place - all placed 'just so' however, nothing is accidental! - and my mind is just as jumbled with a maze of ideas.What caught my eye especially is the vintage wardrobe trunk being used a repository for 'stuff'. I bought one just like it a few weeks back for a paltry $10 at a garage sale; it was the end of the day as I passed and they just wanted it out of their yard. Little did these people realise I would have paid substantially more and I scored a real bargain. Mine is missing the drawers but that leaves empty holes which make perfect shelves.
It's impossible to define my personal style - I just know what I like and labels be damned. You'll find an eclectic mix of victoriana, aged books, gorgeously aged ephemera along side some darker pieces with a gothic slant, as well as chintz, brocade and even the occasional accent best described as shabby chic. The same can be said of my wardrobe although I have a lot of pieces I rarely wear, and I really should. To hell with what the well dressed suburban 'soccer mom' is wearing, I should throw open my closet and defy convention.
