You Never Forget Your First Love

When I was young,

I used to borrow my parents'
Architectural Digest magazines.

I loved flipping through
all the gorgeous homes and spaces.

The images that always caught my eye, 

were the stark and bold contemporary homes.

Back then, all the straight lines and clean spaces
really spoke to me.

{I wanted to live in the Less Than Zero Hollywood Hills.}

Fast forward to today,
and that really is not my aesthetic anymore...

or is it?

I find myself so completely drawn to this traditional-

gone-modern remodeled home, from the latest issue of 

Connecticut Cottages & Gardens.

The minimalist vibe and modern look of these rooms
is not what we chose
for our own transitional and collected home.

I guess its true what they say...

You never really forget your first love.
