Her Haus: Decor With A History

My taste in decor has changed and evolved as I have grown into myself.

Through college it was very, well collegiate and there may have been far too much pink.

It was not until I began to delve more deeply into my writing and exploring the places 

that interested me most (those with history) that my true penchant for antiques surfaced.

Running my hand along a well-patined shoe, I wonder the emotions the original 

owner felt when first slipping it on. Was it a gift? A secret indulgence?

If you frequent antique shops you are aware of the numberless amount of 

memoirs lining the shelves. To me, these are paper gold. 

Someone’s life story, potentially originating a few hundred years prior, all before me.

My second love? Examining buildings of historical value. The Old Manse in Concord, the ruins of a great house in Newburyport where only the foundation and massive entry gates remain.

Many people could care less, but the journey my brain takes me on while musing 

about the daily life and routines that took place inspires and excites me. 

Instantly my imagination is cultivated and refreshed for pieces I aim to finish.

Emotions are evoked and that is how I know.

How would you describe your taste in decor?
