Home Tour: Tranquil Asia

After seeing a couple of Asia's photos of her life and space I asked if she would like to do a Home Tour. She said yes almost immediately and I am so glad. I love the soft genuine touches that she has added to her space, the little antique curios, and the great calmness that I feel when I look at the images she chose to show us how her home makes her feel 'Home Sweet Home'. I'm so happy to be able to share them with you here. 

Desk Corner - This is my desk, a little place where I can do some writing, storming and sitting. The green lamp on my desk used to be my grandpas, and the photo behind it is of him in May 1957, throwing around a guitar. Hidden is an antique pencil sharper (that still works like a charm!) which is accompanied by a steaming mug full of my favorite pens, pencils & paintbrushes. 

Little Cupboard - In this photo are various little treasures I have tucked away; a crumbling horseshoe that I mailed back to Prince George from Scotland, a music box, an giant old key, a scarab beetle from Egypt, a vase full of shells and beach glass, and a little porcelain flower filled with buttons. Also, this is the perfect place to hang my towel. 

Shelf - Again, on this shelf are various little odds and ends I have accumulated; an old cigar box, a jar full of my worries and paintbrushes, an oil lamp, a miniature telescope and compass, a dried lantern flower, a stack of postcards and an incense holder. 

Noise Station - Probably my favorite thing about my room, the surround sound stereo and record station. Seriously, the musical gods often just come and hang out for the afternoon. And of course Charlie, the love of my life.

Fisherman - For a few weeks I tried to get rid of this little creature but he just kept finding himself in my room. Finally we found a place for him to hang out on the light fixture. 

Charlie on Bed - Just a nice little afternoon shot, tired dog, beautiful light and cozy bed. Ahh. 

Dresser Corner - To my delight, I recently discovered the little man faces on my dresser handles, such a treat. The suitcase was my grandpas first suitcase, the guitar was recently given to me by a friend and the embroidered photo on the wall is a (religiously neutral) version of my favorite quote. I am madly in love with perfume and essential oils so atop my dresser sits my little collection. 

Sink Corner - A wonderful little place to get ready, accompanied by one of my favorite pieces of art. 

Back of Door - Drink it in. I have been collecting bits of paper for years and I finally found a resting place for it all. This is best seen in person, there are so many details and surprising elements of this collage.
