A house can reveal the extent of your assets, but a home reveals the expanse of your heart -Victoria Moran, Shelter for the Spirit
HOME AS COLLAGE An integral piece of anyone's collage is the space in which they live. A home can be a refuge, a welcoming place for friends, a workspace and play space. I love visiting other people's homes and looking for the special touches that make them unique. I get a lot of design ideas from home spaces, and I dream about houses a lot!This is my back gate - to me, it is inviting (especially if I've been working in the garden in the hot Texas summer) since it leads to a deck and to our Koi pond. I hope to include some favorite home and garden projects on this page. Most of us have more imagination than money, so my favorite projects don't cost a lot.

If you haven't visited the HGTV website yet, it's worth a look. Good information for people like me who don't have a lot of time. For a link to ideas about the philosophy of space, try the Cultural Creatives site.
I like it a lot.
Having friends visit is a great pleasure, as is going places and doing things in and around San Antonio. It's also good to get away from time to time. I really enjoy the kind of shared journal-keeping that websites afford. Here is a photo gallery of friends and good times at home and elsewhere. |
