“A thought occurred to me today – so obvious, so always obvious! It was absurd to suddenly comprehend it for the first time – I felt rather giddy, a little hysterical: – There is nothing, nothing that stops me from doing anything except myself… What is to prevent me from just picking up and taking off?”

— Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

“The secret of the Great Stories is that they have no secrets. The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don’t deceive you with thrills and trick endings. They don’t surprise you with the unforeseen. They are as familiar as the house you live in. Or the smell of your lover’s skin. You know how they end, yet you listen as though you don’t. In the way that although you know that one day you will die, you live as though you won’t. In the Great Stories you know who lives, who dies, who finds love, who doesn’t. And yet you want to know again. That is their mystery and their magic.”

— Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things  (via antigonies)

lots of artists can fill their work with aching homosexual tension, but no one else can make the impending sodomy look quite as classy and exquisitely dressed as Leyendecker can. God bless you, sir.

weird how nothing about u is like, too small or too dumb to know bc it all comes together to become YOU. sending your friend a picture of your favorite snack is saying something important whether u realize it or not. wheres that palahniuk quote

Annemarie is a set designer, event styler, and decorator. This is the entry hall- it’s her “homage to Versaille” and only a preview of the awesomeness to come. 

The sitting room. Annemarie likes to buy antiques from various places, including boot fairs. Great trompe l’oeil wallpaper.

This is The Snug next to the kitchen. The 1950′s bar was her grandma’s. She made the pillows herself.

How to completely redo a kitchen & pantry w/o renovating it. 

Floral wallpaper and bright blue in the main bath.

In the downstairs shower room, it took 3 days to decoupage the walls & ceiling with wallpaper samples and magazine pages.

The master has pop art pieces done by her friend, Tiff.

Guest room.

She did this bedroom for her granddaughter and made the mushrooms herself. Doris the cat looks a little uncertain, maybe she thinks this is a gnome home. 

That Warhol portrait of Jackie Kennedy has significance- her mother was nanny to Caroline Kennedy’s children. Every corner in the house tells a story.

And, this is how she decorated the beach hut she shares w/her friend, Tiff. This house makes me want to run to flea market!
