Dislikes:
Heart shaped cutouts in furniture
Unpainted oak – any unpainted oak
Vintage pieces repainted with overly styled geometric lines or patterns (unless mid-century modern)
The smell of tobacco in old furniture drawers
Women who jog with just their spandex shorts and sports bra on and look fantastic while doing it
Parisian sayings stamped all over a room (furniture/pillows/lamp shades/cat bowls…)
Parisian sayings in general
Too many ruffles in a room – actually, any ruffles in a room (sorry, but this is my list. Ok, pillows are allowed)
Rooms painted in primary colors
Houses without interior walls (love open floor plans but open air breezeways running above just unnerve me)
Bowl sinks (now I have really ticked some of you off)
Wasting precious hours in the hair salon
The 3pm wave of exhaustion
Losing a piece to someone else who either just got there before me, just emailed the seller before me, or outbid me in an auction – grrrrr.
Snarky bloggers 😉

When my dog gets out and runs full speed in circles around our front yard until he collapses in exhaustion
Sun streaming through a window
Old wooden screen doors
Vintage glass door handles (we had some in our first house and I left them behind. Silly, young me…)
Discovering a beauty in a corner somewhere, covered with junk
Listening to music and painting in solitude
Finally escaping the hair salon and feeling like a million bucks (which is almost what was spent to look like that for approximately two days)
The first cup of coffee after going for a morning walk
The smell of the fall leaves
A comfy chair, a soft blanket, a glass of wine and a great book
Watching my ten year old ride her pink bike to school every day
