that lived-in feel

Mike and I have very different design aesthetics. He prefers clean-lined, clutter-free, modernistic spaces... Me, on the other hand, I love eclectic, lived-in, cluttered but organized homes... spaces where personality and history shines through every nick-nak, every print, every piece of dinged up furniture. Like this kitchen, which overflows with life and colour - from the antique copper pots and the quirky lobster tiles, to the highback chairs and loooong dining table, perfect for family dinners.
