TO KILL THE SLOB (1): FALSE ENTRY WAY.

So! Here is it, the first photo in the slob series. 

Kinda blurry bc it was taken at night. But you get the gest. I'm almost relieved it's not the HD my iPhone promised. (You won't be able to see the dust!) HeHe! 

Here are some extra shots for the critics out there that need more angles.

 

-and yes, I have a huge couch covered in irises. Thanks for noticing. She's been in the family for awhile & I thankfully aquired her. (Thanks uncle Joe!) 

To add to the end this loves mini chandelier that came with the home. There is one here above the false entry way and another in the hallway. I say false entry way because we don't used it.

You see it is the front of the house per say, but it faces a street where parking is no longer allowed. 

Shame really! 

And there is a curb, sidewalk, and a few trees currently residing in the place where there once was a drive way. It's easily overlooked and hidden but there are tell-tell signs whispering to whoever is keen enough to take notice. Anyway now you know my "front door" is only passed through to fetch the mail. 

I'll tell you the journey I took to find this old home and it's history as well another time. I will tell you it was built in 1938! I love old homes. I love the oddness of their modern add-ons, I love its character and that they hold so many secrets... 

There you have it, let me hear your thoughts. Good bad ugly Hahahaha all of the above? 

If you would be so kindly any advice is greatly welcome. This includes improvement suggestions. 

Please share a wall or crook or cranny in your own home for us to examine! Leave it in the comment section below. 

Let's all help each other out and create some healthy new perspectives for each other! 

We see our own homes so often it's hard to truly see what they are composed of and to want to improve them! 

I hope this gives us all the kick start we need to a pleasantly beautiful home. 

I have been reading a book lately called The Joy of Less written by Francine Jay. It is about being a minimalist. And so far I've found it very inspiring. So much so that one day I had to put it down for fear I would bag up everything I own and empty every room! Phew! Thank goodness that implus wasn't allowed to be lived out. I did go through and reduce my closet by 75%!  

I will let this be for one week and allow the criticism roll in and check back next Tuesday. I will let you know how I feel about the corner of my home after the comments and what if any changes I've made or plan to make. 

Tah-Tah.
