"So this home I picture is all mine. Every book, every chair, every speck of dust." OMG this is so exactly what I needed to read right now. I'm at a slightly different point, more like a crisis point, because I'm struggling with maintaining that feeling of "me" in my nest as I consider merging treasures and personal space with another who does NOT share my sense of esthetic. Haven't spent a lifetime building a nest, then divorcing in my 50s and losing that nest, then finding a small cosy new nest and making it my own, I'm feeling ungrounded and a little lost when I should be feeling incredibly happy because I've finally found "my person." I don't know the answer, but your post somehow gave me comfort. So thank you!
Why am I not surprised you'd like to have a red wall? :) I always wanted a brick wall and a red wall and I made both of them come true and both of them were painted by me. Better a drawn brick than no brick at all :D Wishing you your dream come true before this Christmas.
Loved this piece Susannah. My favourite this far. We are currently getting ready to sell a family home and move to a new lifestyle. I hope I feel the way you do.
I see you and celebrate you, Susannah. I've long followed your journey and am thrilled for this next chapter. I'm on a similar path, feeling called to a place that has always called me and that I believe is the right next step after four years of illness, cancer, divorce, and finally, glorious rebirth. Thank you for sharing your heart and inspiring me always. xo
Sometimes a home needs YOU. The amount of events that had to happen for me to be in the home I am in is astounding. And it all hinged on one moment...and curiosity. Finding what a house needs once you get there is the other half of making it a home...and it’s so incredibly rewarding to see a house “light up” because you are there and you are listening. Love how much you already love the house that is waiting for you❤️
The owl was THAT long ago 🤦♀️? I’m so happy for you that your HOME is drawing near. Xx
“a complicated ache”… thank you for this wording, dear Susannah. I feel that complicated ache too ❤️
Your Pinterest home looks so cosy and gorgeous. A red theme sprinkled throughout too ❤️

was distracted per a personal matter & so an hour later found your story on my screen, just where I’d left you
& started again.. more with curiosity about the photo matrix & looked closer with eyes on
as one who’s done lots of architectural assignments might .. and went looking for the sideboards !
Fine work ! I like / love being surprised .. & good for yer mom too ! 🦎🏴☠️
When's this ADHD housewarming then? 😉❤️

Love the photos and that you've shifted to a richer red!
You sound happy Susannah, I'm glad for you.
Congratulations on finding your new home! What an exciting time.

I love this for you and feel it with every fibre of my being. I can see you there already <3
How is it that "countless side tables found in markets" makes a house feel like a home? They sure do, though. ☺️ Can't wait to see where you land!
