One thing I truly aspire to have one day is not only a beautiful home, but to have a home that looks as if it's a collection of my past and my travels. To fill a home with treasures that reflect a well traveled life, and each piece has thoughtfully been purchased in an exotic market and brought home as a reminder of a special experience. These rooms, in my opinion, reflect that idea.

(And don't ask me why but they all have a tint of blue! Ha!)

I love the tint of blue! it's is such a calming color. plus, I think it makes a room stand out.
Can't wait to fill my home with goodies from my (future) travels one day, too :)

Amazing! The wall color in the second photo is the most perfect shade of Tiffany box blue.

gorgeous, gorgeous rooms. i love the eclectic vibe...

kiwi and i try to pick up one item for our home on every trip we go on... he lugged a beautiful hand painted scroll all the way home from thailand without it getting damaged, that's the tricky part!

That is exactly how I feel about ones home too. That it should reflect their life experiences. Sometimes we get wound up on getting stuff to fill a space, but without history, the space has no soul.

I completely agree! There is so much to experience in this magnificent world, and I want to see all that I can. How lovely to think of having a space in your home to exhibit mementos from your travels, and to be able to reflect on a life well lived.
