Pictures, dishes, chairs, mirrors, bird cages, books, windows, fabric, pillows, paper...
These are just some of the things that make my heart pound. But before I get into more about all of these things, let me tell you about where this all begins...
My mother is an interior designer and my Dad is a musician, carpenter and all-around handy-man. They taught me that a home is not just a place to provide shelter, but it should be your very own castle. A place that is filled with valuable treasures. Emotional value, not monetary. A place that you have invested your time and effort in to make it yours. A place that makes you want to sit down and stay awhile. A place that describes Y.O.U. between every nook and cranny. A place that makes your heart pound.
In other words: Feather.Your.Nest.
At the age of 22, I have an assortment of "stuff". The typical girl my age would care more about shoes, clothes and jewelry. I, however, spend my earnings on things like paper that would make a beautiful stationary set, or dishes that I can't live without. Needless to say, my priorities aren't the norm.
I am going to be moving into to my own place in a few weeks in Downtown KC and I couldn't be more excited! I finally get to unpack all of my lost treasures that have been stored up over the years! When I started brainstorming on how I wanted to decorate the new place, I realized that I want to be able to share with family and friends my ideas and progress. I want to document how I transform the bare bones of an apartment, into my very own castle.
It's going to be a slow process, because I'm not able to just buy, buy, buy! But that means I will have to find ways to make wonderful pieces, on a wonderfully small budget!
And I'm doing it...
All for the love of feathering.
