What a thought-provoking post. I love how in-depth you write about your process and your thoughts behind your creations.
The idea of women being so connected with their furniture and homes rings quite true, good or bad. I know that even in this day & age, I feel a certain fondness for my home and my curated furniture & decorative pieces. I like to have everything just so. It drives @mstafford crazy haha

I am glad you liked it. I really do believe that there is a lot of our (women's) history tied into the house and home. Today for some reason this can only be seen as a negative as it is always equated with a sort of servitude, but I really believe that good or bad, our history is tied up with the home quite a bit and we can find the good and important bits in that history. I think women, being rulers of their dominion in the home, had a lot of say and control in the venue and as it shaped them, so too was the home and concept of home shaped by women. In many ways it IS a woman's story and I think it is worth telling in any form.

Having things 'just so' see you are just giving your eternal woman cry of power "here is my domain, I rule this roost" ;)
