Although I spend a lot of time "feathering the nest" - including DIY curtains, new bedding, useless tables and even just re-arranging the bookshelves - and I LOVE to blog about design inspiration, sometimes the things in the townhouse that bring me the most joy are things that actually ignore any & all design principles.
Exhibit A.
What is this a picture of, you ask?
Ever wondered why the tiny vintage table in my office has very little ornamentation - just three tiny glass balls? Well, when the sun hits the crystal balls just so they send a smattering of rainbows all over the walls, floor and ceiling.

So, although I know these little crystal balls aren't "trendy," nor "classic" or even the right scale or proportion for the table, I don't give a hoot. I wait patiently on sunny days for the rainbow.
(Sorta) on topic, my grandparents (who I just visited) have trained a chipmunk to literally knock on their patio door for peanuts. It is hilarious. And definitely one of the best features of their home. Fancy furniture and wallpaper be damned - what makes a house a home is the stuff that goes on inside, right?

What feature of your home do you love, even though it might make the editor of your favorite design magazine might cringe?
P.S. Yes, their mat reads: "Protected by a Jack Russell Terrier Alarm System". hehehe. A gift from yours truly.
