I found this today and think, nay, know that it is true. Your home is an expression of one's self. One's taste and what you think is beautiful. Where we live now is no exception (have I mentioned that Joel's grandparents basically have an art gallery for a home?). It's a way of establishing a place in the world. Your own little corner of the Universe. Claiming ownership. And of nesting. Im a nester. Who likes pretty things.
Basically, I am whining because I want a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and a quaint entry or great hall that leads to a garland strewn staircase. With vintage ornaments hung from everywhere and fresh fruit wreaths. Is that asking too much?
Also, I really like the idea of home being where your art is.

wow, I'm suddenly feelng some pressure in the Christmas decor area.
I'll start working on the fresh fruit garland tomorrow. It would help to have some artistic ability...will bananas work?
I forgot to say I'm looking forward to that day you will have your own home to decorate your way...I know that the "organic expression of us" will be beautiful.
I think it is really funny how when Jared and I got out our hand-me-down ornaments, etc. our first christmas together, we discovered that our mothers had made some of the same diy-decor in our childhood, i.e. stuffed fabric heart/bird/wreath ornaments, and the bread-dough nativity from the Friend.
Happy Kwannza.
Hopefully, you won't have "clutter and downright lazy mess" as your "organic expression of us" 13 years down the road.... like me. ugh.
