The love you feel for all your collectables and decorative pieces is evident in the memories they hold for you...and your little cottage is definitely a reflection of this!! Homes should ALWAYS be a place where its residents feel comfortable and at peace; I imagine that your visitors would instantly feel this way, too, once they step through your door!! P.S. My hubby and I live in a small, one bedroom condo...and we've installed a curtain rail on the ceiling of our livingroom that instantly creates a guest room when needed!!

I like the haphazard approach to decorating, that picking up of items that you love without having a definitive plan for them, but somehow having them all work together. Organic, is what I would call it, and oh so beautiful. You have that style! Thank you for sharing.

That's just the way it should be! Justin's comment is wonderful, and the bed your father has built for Anya is fantastic.

Your Father is incredible, what a loft bed! and what a gift, I bet Anya will love that bed forever and your view!! what a view! also before I forget, your parents bedroom is amazing and very clever - I don't think I'm skilled at interior design at all, our rooms tend to just happen, I don't think it ever looks as comfortable as I'd like it too, I think I should take a leaf out of your book and look at interior design books! x x xPeaches McGintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10431944936195385931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-3359941475148438362015-02-02T11:48:03.198-08:002015-02-02T11:48:03.198-08:00thanks for sharing your home pics, so interesting!...thanks for sharing your home pics, so interesting!. Love all those little details, objects, colors, textures over the wood walls, everything is evocative and full of personality, and it's also cosy, like if it's going to embrace you!<br />I've not developed a decorating skill, my walls are almost empty!. Mr.A. is an absolut minimalist and I've learnt to live with less things, as we moved many times. Some photographs on the walls and a pair of ikea shelves with books, that's all!. But we're changing, 'cause we bought a sofa and some chairs last year!.

Oh that was such a delightful post, Nat...What fun! Oh that was such a delightful post, Natalia! You have a home where anyone would feel welcome and there is so much personality there. I didn't even see my painting right away; I was so busy admiring the bed and its textiles. I love your art groupings and how everything has a story or meaning and was not bought to match the sofa. I too love textiles and although I like quality and craftsmanship I do not want precious things in my home. I don't want to have to worry about them. Getting divorced and starting over with only half (actually less then half) of the things I had originally selected to fill my home, meant leaving behind things I loved, but we cannot get too attached because there is always a risk of loss in life. After all, I live in an earthquake zone.<br /><br />Anna's loft bed is fantastic. I love loft beds and hers is so special having been self designed and made by her Dedushka. Her room is so full of life and personality and she looks so happy there. <br /><br />The new room, the newly created bedroom for our parents also looks delightfully cosy. <br /><br />Justin's words are so beautiful I think you should print then out and frame them or perhaps paraphrasing them like 'our home gets bigger the more family is here'.<br /><br />My style is similar to yours in that I am influenced by a love of cottage, folk-art, beach and bohemian styles. I have been in my home for a year and a half and I am still discovering how I want it decorated, though like with you that will always change and evolve somewhat. I used to feel frustrated that I didn't have beautiful architecture to work with but on the other hand a lack of that can inspire more creativity, the kind that comes from making do or using what you have. There is so much personality and character in that. <br /><br />Like you I have a collection of design and decor books. I bought many from the Sarah Susanka Not So Big series when my ex and I were renovating our house. I also enjoy Oberto Gili Home Sweet Home and Ben Pentreath's English Decoration.<br /><br />Are these photos you are going to send to Gabrielle at Moon to Moon? I don't feel ready to do that yet because I am so displeased with my living room wall colour and won't likely get it painted for a few more months. Also, the light is so much better for photography come spring/summer. <br /><br />This post was so delightful I didn't want it to end, even though you thought it was a long one. xoxoxoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-59290828894514128642015-01-30T11:53:23.568-08:002015-01-30T11:53:23.568-08:00I love you home, it is the perfect reflection of y...I love you home, it is the perfect reflection of your creativity and love of beauty,<br />I love the eclectic style, the realization, that a good home is never done!,<br />the sentimental touches, as well as the sentimental premise of the post,<br />_especially the butterfly art work from you now deceased aunt)<br />most of all I love the view and light!<br />It seems to come from you!<br />Now a love seat in the entrance is perfect!<br />xx, Elle<br />http://mydailycostume.com/The Elle Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352057220124245797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-11612538075998855602015-01-30T07:51:52.287-08:002015-01-30T07:51:52.287-08:00Your home looks so cozy, colourful, warm, so alive...Your home looks so cozy, colourful, warm, so alive. It has its own character which reflects the characters of its inhabitants. I too like home to be home, one should feel comfortable and at ease there. Not like in a museum where one must not do this or that. I have seen houses that look literally sterile.

Your husbands comment on the house seeming bigger is something my husband and I joke about. Because our home is very small if we move a piece of furniture or get rid of something we always joke, "The house is huge now!"<br />It's wonderful that you've made accommodations for your parent's stay. We have a dilemma every year when Russ's parents come to stay as they take our bedroom and Russ and I have to sleep in different rooms on tiny little single beds. Nobody gets any sleep. Your solution looks great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-54088422691316770372015-01-30T04:50:20.337-08:002015-01-30T04:50:20.337-08:00you actually have 2 of this great rugs!!!!! :-)
wh...you actually have 2 of this great rugs!!!!! :-)<br />when can i come to live in the new bedroom please? <br />i find it strange when people put style over comfort or "design" their homes after given formulas. datcha-style is the best describing i think - comfortable, cozy, not representativ, but full of color and LIFE!!!!! the changes and new things your parents put to the house speaks the language of people who are used to limited consumption - they made gold from dirt so to speak. love this - buying a nice interior in a designer store is not creative - one only needs money. but like you and your folks do - finding, creating, collecting is just wonderful - that´s the reason your home looks so lovely and inviting - it´s made by warmhearted, creative people!!!!!!<br />switch on the samowar - i´m coming over!!!!<br />xxxxxxxxxbahnwärterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032478343344432338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-53887275797649639122015-01-29T23:29:30.137-08:002015-01-29T23:29:30.137-08:00You decorate exactly as I do, with pieces that tel...You decorate exactly as I do, with pieces that tell stories.
