Look Closer.

Last week, I put up a post about my childhood home (and my parents!) being featured in a new book about old homes across America.  While I was wandering around the house snapping pictures of all the little details that make my house a home, I began to notice the amazing textures and patterns that presented themselves in every corner.  It may be what I learned in my Color Theory course last semester, training myself to look more closely at the obvious, but I was really fascinated.

So I wanted to share all the close-up images I took in hopes that maybe you can find a bit of inspiration as well.  And on a not so side note, how amazing a decorator is my momma?!
