a house is but a home

lately the topic of moving has been at the forefront of my mind - not in the near future, but for a variety of reasons, it's been something consuming a lot of space in my head... and while the thought of moving makes me squirm at the amount of work (and cleaning - booooo) required, it also means a new chance. a new home to make my own. a blank canvas to problem solve with. to mix and match existing belongings, and new spaces.
so, i look to inspiring spaces, for not only new beginnings, but also acknowledging what i own that is worth keeping, worth moving, worth playing with. the internet is a wonderful thing - there is inspiration everywhere you turn. these are some of my favourites... 
these will serve as inspiration for my next home... white palettes; lots of personalization of artwork; memories (collected reminders of people and places); handmade bedding and pillows, throws and other comfy makers; lots and LOTS of shelving (which i don't have enough of in my current space); and baskets and other spaces for magazines, books and other storage needs (for example, my out of control beading and other 'making' supplies).
my go to's for home inspiration: sf girl by bay; emma's design blogstadshem (though it's a real estate site, based out of sweden - they kill interiors!); lily's home sectiondesign for mankind's 'places' section... and, of course, pinterest... where i pin ideas and inspiration into home organization, and simple design ideas.
