Pretty Stools

You can ask my husband and he'll confirm. I could easily live in a home with stools, chairs, art, blankets and pillows. Oh and lots of tea, bowls and white porcelain everything.

Oh and mirrors. I love, love, love mirrors and always must have at least one in every room. I don't know why, it's not that I love to look at myself all day. But for some strange reason, and perhaps this is revealing some deeply rooted physiological issue, I love to look in mirrors daily and regularly because it's a constant reminder that I'm living and breathing. Does this make sense? I am one who believes that so many are running in hamster wheels and forget to really slow down and take in their reflection and connect with who THEY really are. You know, stop the constant motion and serving of others to just take in a moment with yourself. Mirrors are a source of meditation for me. When I walk by them in my home, I always take a moment to look in, think about my day, my life, the things I've neglected, those that I've cared for, and then I can continue on to other things but with a feeling of "presence" in the moment. And so what in the world do mirrors have to do with stools? Not much, except that I love and could easily collect both. But I don't, I currently only have a crochet pouffe in my home and now, these two beautiful stools from Wood & Wool Stool on order from the Netherlands. Aren't they grand? I love the combination of old and raw with new and girly. Once these two beauties arrive, I will share them with you as I'll show you how and where I will use them in my home.
