I often find myself recommending what to some could be unusual design options. Why not paint your garage a lovely shade of blue or install the family photos in the Master closet? What is so wrong with placing your favorite piece of art in the bathroom?
These areas are typically seen multiple times each day- usually the first and last areas occupied. Why not enjoy them? Why not place things we appreciate in those spaces? The answer I most often receive is "no one else will see it!" This response leaves me to ponder why we place things of beauty in our homes, why we surround ourselves with the sentimental and/or inspiring. Is it for our enjoyment or can our dwellings become sanctuaries of approval, showcases for praise and recognition?
We all strive to have a place we can be proud of, but let us not forget, or worse, deny, our true motivations in the selections and purchases we make. May your home always reflect, support and delight you!
