Celerie Kemble Revisited

Feeling uninspired by an awkward and unfinished room in my home.  Read an interview with Celerie Kemble on One Kings Lane.  Absolutely inspired by her commentary:

A space with everything custom-made in the room would look like a model apartment; if I did everything antiques, it would feel imposing.  You have to thread things together.

Things don’t need to match, they need to play well together.

Let your taste keep driving you toward what you want–instead of starting again and again and rethinking.  The people who respect their initial choices even if they’re not 100% and build on them get a much more personal and interesting space.
