Illustration Friday - Atmosphere


I love the atmosphere of a well-loved, well-used home. It doesn't look like someone went to Pottery Barn and bought a furniture set. Things are accumulated over a lifetime, mismatched and worn soft. And everything has a story.

It is not an atmosphere you can buy-- you have to earn it through cozy nights on the couch and cooking meals in the kitchen.

  2. Yes, the human touch makes all the difference - and memories make up so much of our life-stories.
