Amen on the target comment. I went to interior design school and felt like I was the only one who felt how you described. I "self design" my own home, didn't care to stay in the industry and work in furniture stores. Interior design (and thrifting) is an art form in my mind....total self expression. My personal style is blended and that's what makes it so fun. My clothing style is very much a blend of both you and Selena, romantic boho so I thoroughly have enjoyed all your channels❤

Hey Laura, I love what you said at the end of today’s episode about loving to go into people’s home and seeing their unique style not what is trending. I live in a 1914-1917 farmhouse that belonged to my great grandparents, however I have discovered I don’t want it to look like a TJ Max farmhouse style. Although my house was built in the early 1900’s it has never not been lived in therefore it has seen every trend imaginable. I like your idea of mixing styles. I want to see a little of my great grandma and a little of my grandma (aka Granny) along with my own style. You definitely inspire me.

Your desk is a fabulous find! I grew up in “mid-century” so I chuckle each time I hear that phrase. My mother was a perfectionist at sewing curtains and pinch pleated drapes, painting and wallpapering thus our 1920s home was beautifully decorated. I moved away in 1965 and my best friend all through school loved our home so much that she and her husband bought it! Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s I lived in Portland when few people were “antiquing” and prices were very low. Even back then it was a fun place to shop but you definitely have a wealth of thrifts and antique stores to hunt.

Those lucite salad servers were bomb! Totally agree on mixing styles and periods. My personal style has changed a lot over the years but right now I'd describe it as '80s feminine modernist'. There's a lot of earth tones and natural materials contrasted with pastels, geometric glass and sculptural crystals. 99% of it is thrifted, roadside or DIY.

I don't have a spot but Florence is great. Make sure you hit the St. Vinny's there & Goodwill. Check out the antique stores on the highway. They're often in that sweet spot between thrift and true antique pricing! Here in North Bend the Hospice thrift store is super cheap, often has good stuff. In Coos Bay there is Leaf's Treehouse that is 2 floors and often reasonably priced. Have fun!! Looking forward to the coastal videos.
