Finding My Decorating Style
Ursula of KUEC, Hugo Award Winning Digger and all around awesome artist/author/decent human being mentioned once in KUEC of her Decor Theory. This theory states that children imprint their Decor Style (how they want to decorate their living spaces) between the ages of 7-9. Urusla was in Arizona at the time and firmly believes skulls are necessary accessories.
I was in CO, my parents may or may not have replaced the ugly orange and black plaid living room set with all the wood I had to dust once a week, and I was reading Little House on the Prairie, The Little Princess and The Secret Garden.
My decor DEFINITELY runs towards floral patterns (but not toile. Oh gods, not toile. *shudder*), soft colors (not pastels. Oh gods, not pastels *shudder*) and "Good to Snuggle Up In". The Element Themed House seems to have died with Wolf, although I clung to it for the last three years. Fortunately, cheerful yellow fits BOTH schemes.
This is the good I'm getting out of these silly wish fulfillment grieving stories. I'm ignoring all the voices inside my head EXCEPT True Blue and Aurora.
One of these days I will be able to afford the $7k custom made canopy bed made of intertwined saplings. And I will get it in rosewood finish, because silver makes it Snow Queen territory and unlike Elsa, the cold bothers me TREMENDOUSLY.

I've been good about keeping the clutter to a minimum. The kiddos' rooms are disasters, but it's THEIR space. As long as the public rooms and my room is picked up, I'm OK.
The next few years will be spent repairing this house, then I will start saving for Earthship.

This house is (unless I win the lottery) my end house. The mortgage is paid. I am less than four years (gods willing!) from retirement, and I'm not interested in taking on another mortgage. Is it my dream house? No, but now that it's paid off, I can make some changes in that direction. If I had unlimited funds, I would have a Darmstadt house with a grey-water holding tank and all the green features. But I don't, so what I have to do is tweak what we have.
