When I was in Ohio just a few short weeks ago, I heard a phrase I guess is a midwest term. Growing up on the west coast, and living the last 4 years (before Mexico) in Philadelphia, I'd never heard the phrase "feather your nest." I thought it was so sweet. Whenever I look at different home decor magazines or online zines, I think it explains perfectly our desire to make our homes our own. Many of the people whose blogs I follow, or who follow mine, can relate. That's why we follow each other, we all seem to have a passion for the aesthetic; vintage, modern, retro, simplistic, bold, subtle, whatever, we seem to like home decor, fashion, crafting, home-nesting.
I love this cherry red students desk. I had an olive green one just like it growing up in the "play room" at my dear ol' Granny's house. I spent hours drawing and doing homework sitting on that cold, metal seat. But I loved it. If I lived back in the States, I might think about buying this for my girls, or for me.
Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
