A Personal Museum

For me, a home is like a museum without the signs saying 'Please Don't Touch'. Think of all the stuff you own that has emotional or historical significance or comes with a memory or tale of where, when and who. It's just a matter of finding ways to incorporate these things into your surroundings as three-dimensional reminders of your life for you and others to experience. This means you'll end up with a home that's distinctly and beautifully yours and not just a replica of homewares catalogues or generic furniture stores. It also allows your living space to evolve over time rather than locking it into a specific era or decorating genre.
