Collecting Things You Love

I have found that when I am drawn to something, whether it is because the color is speaking to me or it has a time worn charm, that it all seems to work well together in my home. Many people try to match their decor. I believe that you should stick to what you love. There is something comforting when you are surrounded by vintage items mixed carefully with new items that have been thoughtfully arranged in your home. Inside you, there is an artist, even if you don't know it. It doesn't have to be expensive to collect treasured items. Often times I find them at garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales and my favorite local antique shops.
