beautiful things

my husband calls my family Nomadic.  I guess compared to his family we are.  His parents still live in the same town, street, house he grew up in; 30 some odd years in the very same house.  My family hasn't lived in the same house for more than maybe 5 years at the most.  So, in all of our movings I am a pretty good packer, my husband not so much.  He holds on to everything; a luxury of never having to move all that stuff from one place to another.  I periodically purge.  

Recently I went through my many boxes of magazines.  I held on to a few: Real Simple, Living, Blueprint, Fresh Home and Ready Made.
I whittled the many magazines down to one wine box. The rest I tore out pages of things I enjoyed and want to get; that ended up being 4 'books'. 

ONE BOX                                                                   4 'BOOKS'

Here is just a sampling of some of my wants that make up my own "magazine books"

i love the colors in this lamp

the faux deer head, the pale blue I would have this whole look in my place!
