ReplyDeleteI would find it hard NOT to feel at ease in that last photo (but they are all beautiful...)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rooms. VEry much my style. I also have to say that I absolutely believe in that quote. I have been inside homes that made me feel comfortable, at ease, at home. I actually received the best compliment by someone I had just met who came over to my house for a shower I was throwing. She said my house felt warm. :)
