catholic | audhd | art history graduate Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod. And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things - Gerard Manley Hopkins . . . In things of beauty, he contemplated the One who is supremely beautiful, and, led by the footprints he found in creatures, he followed the Beloved everywhere. - St Bonaventure

All the people in the notes saying 'that's too busy'... maybe this post just wasn't aimed at you.

"That's Too Busy." So sorry you were raised on Landlord White with occasional forays into Shades Of Beige and can't handle patterns or saturation in your colors.

The chandeliers in this view looking west in the long barn were made in Dublin to Patrick Scott's design. The two chandeliers together hold thirty candles. A mid nineteenth-century Irish patchwork quilt hangs on the far wall; red and white designs were particularly popular in the north of Ireland. The console tables are an old pine kitchen table cut in half.

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, there will be a tree outside your bedroom window. It is very important to romanticize this tree as much as possible.
