Your house is mid-century awesome! Love it, especially those posters.
ReplyDeleteYour place really shows you can have great style and a cohesive look in a small space, great work :) Merry Christmas and thanks for all the fab House Tours!
ReplyDeleteWe so think alike! I'm doing a SHELTER study of MY home for a new year post. It will hopefully inspire me to keep it looking as good as it does in the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI find it just as difficult to keep clean as any other space I lived in. I don't think living small keeps you clean I think more piles of clutter develop because there's no immediate place to stash them.
ReplyDeleteI think having people over makes you keep clean.
Yeah, you're right. Whenever I know someone is coming over I can accomplish amazing organization and styling. I am also always amazed how quickly I get it done. But do I keep it up? No.
