It's All About HOMME
When I think of home, I think of a place where there’s love overflowing | I wish I was home | I wish I was back there with the things I’ve been knowing... ~Stephanie Mills, Home
I'm addicted to HGTV, or any station for that matter that showcases the beauty of HOMME. Saturday while at Derrick L. Briggs Book Club Meeting an attendee asked me how I handled writers block. At first I was stumped. What the hell did I do? Then it hit me--shop! I love furniture, but more than furniture I love creating a warm cozy introspective environment. Whenever Jared, or Kevin, or Dio'genes would work on my last nerve I'd leave the computer and ponder for hours which picture should hang where, and why.
HOMME for me is about comfort. It is about self expression. It is about creating an environment both you and your guest will feel totally at ease. How many times have you been to someone's home and you were afraid to touch anything? Chances are you spent more time worrying about your environment, than enjoying your environment. I like for my guests to feel mi' casa, su casa, so I make sure the enviroment is welcoming.
The pictures you see were taken at sdot's and I last abode. We went all out to create a safe haven for ourselves, our friends and our families by changing everything from the light-fixtures to the kitchen door pulls. To me the place represented everything a HOMME is supposed to be, and I sooo hate that we had to move pre-maturely. We've been in our new place for about four months now and really haven't had the time to dive into creating that awe-inspiring safe haven we once had...but at some point we will. But anyway I'm curious, what does HOMME represent to you? Are you comfortable in your environment? What does it say about you? Are you wild and adventurous? Or cool, calm and collective? What if anything will people find to be quite interesting in or about your HOMME? Curious Mindz want to know...
