stacks & piles..and more




these rooms exude home, comfort and organized clutter. what i really strive for. unfortunately my ocd tends to kick in more than i like to admit, but a nice little stack and pile can lead to a real sense of freedom.

this great little cupbord, with the easy access to bowls, glasses and what seems to be dish towels or napkins in the bowls seems really practical and effortless and looks great.

the bedroom also has that "lived in, gonna take a nap and leave everything just like i left it after my nap" feeling.

striving to lead the simple life.

Oh, I have many stacks & piles, my Mr. hates them.................I think they are a must.

I am very comfortable with the lived in look myself.

Comfort the only way to Roll! ~Cheers Kim

Lovely. Reserved palette and a stack or two - just my cup of tea!

What a beautiful blog this is. And what a wonderfully subdued aesthetic you have. Divine, so glad to have found you.

Mind you, dinner isn't cooked and I've nearly drunk all the wine - totally absorbed in your previous posts!
