Like the kitchen...makes me anxious for when I have my own and can buy jars like that and stuff. Stupid, but it's the little things I think about sometimes.
Yep, I agree with Yaramaz! :) I particularly like the first photo ... there's something I can't explain, something really simple and elegant. -------------------------- BTW, thanks for commenting on my post yesterday.
Picture No 1 is, to my eye, perfect, and I think "Yes" I'll copy that somewhere in the house....the colours, the light, the plants, the books.....the same calm elegance. And then I remember "kids".
If you ever have kids, look at these pictures and remember what life was once like, and might be again in 15 or 20 years time.
I think I would be awful if I spent time trying to recreate photos on the internet instead of spending time with my children, or thought such things were more important.
I understand that sentiment. We had no TV until the children were five and three. We we got one I remember telling myself "If I find myself telling the kids to be quiet so that I can watch a program, then I'll throw the box out again."
The reality turns out to be a bit different. Kids very quickly develop their own individual personality and start to compete for psychological and physical space. Whilst they demand endless time and attention they also benefit from parents who provide are complete individual characters. Over the course of twenty years they need to see you growing, developing and surmounting challenges with good grace.
In the hurly-burly of food, shit and household destruction it is really hard to keep your sense of self and sense of purpose. The internet certainly helped me manage that, perhaps much more than you realise.
