A couple of the few people who have been in our house since we moved have commented some version of "It's very... neutral" or "How long have you been here?"... I guess in response to my lack of decoration.
It's totally fine; that's not offensive to me. It's kind of funny. 😂
But I will agree that downstairs is pretty neutral because that's where everyone should feel welcome, and it's also where most of the animals are. So not too much that I really care about is down here.
Shaun is more of the decorator of the family. His game room is swords and knives and red and black things and LOTR. Our bedroom has my loft bed and more of a nature vibe, I think. It has some of my decorations in there. And the actual loft room does, too.
But all in all, I prefer less clutter, fewer things to dust and clean, and less grabbing my attention. I find it easier to relax in a space like that.
It's funny because today we moved some stuff around. We took the shelves from the sunroom and brought them in to the "dining room" that I use as my downstairs office space. It's not done, but there are a few plants on the shelves and some driftwood and some rocks. We have a few small totes of rocks and I put the totes in the bottom shelf. I called it decoration. Shaun disagrees. 😂
But there is no good way to display that many rocks. I don't know why, as a family, we have so many rocks, but we do. Me and Shaun both collected rocks when we were kids, and still do. Shadow did/does it, too. Kira might be the only one of us who didn't move a box of rocks into this house. 😂 Actually, she did. She brought rocks that she had painted.
I'll post a photo of the area once it's done. Right now I am getting beachy vibes, probably from the pale colors and driftwood and sunny area. I would like to try my hand at houseplants, but I hit a few spring sales for succulents already and I'm not trying to spend a bunch of money on plants I might accidentally kill. There is plenty of time to load up my indoor shelves.
Anyway. Goodnight, friends. Monday is almost here!
