"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 itās so incredibly rewarding to see a house ālight upā because you are there and you are listening. Love how much you already love the house that is waiting for youā¤ļø
The owl was THAT long ago š¤¦āāļø? Iām so happy for you that your HOME is drawing near. Xx
WHAT EVEN IS TIME?!
You have no idea how hard my covid-addled brain has tried to get a TARDIS gif in here.
I nearly choked on my hot chocolate reading that š¤£
āa complicated acheāā¦ thank you for this wording, dear Susannah. I feel that complicated ache too ā¤ļø
Thank you, Sheena, I see you ā¤ļø
Your Pinterest home looks so cosy and gorgeous. A red theme sprinkled throughout too ā¤ļø
I had a red wall when in my first post-bereavement home in 2005. Haven't recreated it since, but it's coming for sure!

This probably won't help, but if i was to meet someone special in the coming years we'd live in separate houses for sure ;-)
That's currently my plan!
yes queen! šā¤ļø
was distracted per a personal matter & so an hour later found your story on my screen, just where Iād left you
& started again.. more with curiosity about the photo matrix & looked closer with eyes on
as one whoās done lots of architectural assignments might .. and went looking for the sideboards !
Fine work ! I like / love being surprised .. & good for yer mom too ! š¦š“āā ļø
Thank you, Thomas!
When's this ADHD housewarming then? šā¤ļø
Just the thought of trying to organise that is exhausting me š
Donāt worry, none of us would show up anyway. š

Ohh, how lovely! And thank you love! It's going to be at least a year to everything in place, but the dreaming starts NOW š
Universe has a way of surprising us, doesn't it? ;) But if there's something you haven't shared then I am just really excited for and with you! <3
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.
Thank you love! Haven't found the house yet, but the location is definitely right ā¤ļø

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