Thank you. I thought I would post an encouragement to your readers. Everything Kate said IS possible. Years ago, I discovered that I liked cottage with a ladle of country and a dash of rustic and industrial. I have haunted second-hand stores, found treasures sitting next to dumpsters, bought new that was cheap and new that was pricey. My home is nourishing and delightful and expresses me to the nth degree. I am just days away from becoming 71 and my home has evolved as I have evolved. Good luck, everyone!

Exactly. Thanks so much for your comment, Jason!

I’m so glad this article resonated and that your home is starting to feel more like you again. Sometimes we have to learn our design preferences through trial and error (myself included!).

So glad to hear this resonated. And I hope the Instagram break has gone well! It’s so necessary to set those boundaries every once in a while.

I recently unfollowed alot of the ‘home decor’ instagram accounts I follow as they all look the same. I thought I too wanted gray/greige/wood/black ala Amber interiors (who I do still love) BUT it turns out I love color and some quirkiness and things are homemade. All of which I discovered through my small daughter. I use color in her room because she’s (now) 4. Rainbow art, and florals and patterns and playful pieces. One night my husband looks at me and goes ‘this is my favorite room in the house’ and I said me too. And from there i’ve been adding all of that into the rest of the house and i’m loving the change. There is still alot of muted colors and Scandinavian vibes i’m drawn to but it’s warming up. And it makes my eyes, and heart, happy.

I just deleted Instagram from my phone tonight. I decided I needed a break as I found myself constantly comparing my home with what I see on IG. Your article makes perfect sense and love your ideas and thoughts on making your home fit you.

My friends ask me all of the time for decorating advice and I’m always hesitant bc so much of it is personal preferences. I’ll be sending this around to them as a push to have confidence in their own taste and to trust themselves.

I think this is something we all struggle with. I recently remodeled my home, and decided to get rid of all my furnishings and start with a fresh slate. It has been my biggest regret. I ended up getting rid of all my thrift store finds and random art pieces I had collected over the years, and my new fresh slate started looking just like the rooms in my Instagram feed. Half way through the design process, I was like what am I doing? Had a heart to heart with myself. Stopped following all the generic influencers on Instagram, and really started doing some of the things this article talks about. Piece by piece, the soul of my house and style is coming back.

Your home is supposed to be an expression of the person living there. After all you are the one who is living there and not celebrity so-and-so. Do not get me wrong I am not against drawing inspiration from someone else’s designs, but just keep yourself in mind when you design your living space,I love to entertain my family and friends, so I want a space that they feel comfortable in. I love a space with an open floor plan between the kitchen and living room.
