Never Let Go of Your Dream

I am a product of the late fifties.  I grew up surrounded by modern
furnishings.  I have been obsessed with decorating since I
was a little girl.  My room was my
canvas.  I would close the door, and
start moving furniture around, trying to find the right arrangement that was
aesthetically pleasing, yet functional.  
I would then open my door for the big reveal.  My parents would walk in and smile, praise
me, and walk away I am sure shaking their heads.  I finally got my big chance when I was 11; my
parents said I could pick out a paint color, and a new bedspread.  Okay, remember this was 1968.  My walls were a bright grass green.  I choose a large flower print bedspread of
green, black and white.  Inflatable
plastic pillows were all the rage, so I choose a couple for accent
pillows.  This has been the extent of my
decorating life.  I dreamed of going to
school to become an interior designer, but like most, life had other plans in
store for me.  I have never let go of my
passion, just fulfilled the dream within the confines of my own home and small
budget. 

I have furnished my home with a mixture of mid-century second hand
pieces, family hand-me-downs, and a few custom items.  My personal taste leans more toward
mid-century/contemporary, but I have great respect for all styles.  To see some of my recent projects go to humblenests.tumblr.com.
