Melody's Musings

Stuff that catches my fancy and random, sorted thoughts from the inner scrambles of my mind.

What you may expect to find here are what I consider good taste and some of the best in photography, philosophy, humor, art, architecture, food, music, poetry, literature and dance. I hope you like some of the things I enjoy.

I like anything to do with good design such as interior design, architecture, photography, and art. I enjoy philosophy and psychology. I love to figure out what makes individuals tick. Music of most all types but particularly classical, world, pop, acoustic guitar is a big part of my life and add some dance to the music and my day is great! I like to write and occasionally I will write poetry and I really love to read it out loud and I even record it sometimes.

I'm a Myers-Briggs type ENFJ which means I love people and have a great interest in them.

I guess you could say I'm a humanities kind of person. :)

    Playful Display Add flea market appeal to any room in the house with subtle vintage accents. Here, an antique train is displayed on a shelf in the kitchen, transforming the toy into a work of art. The weathered surface of the train allows it to blend with other accessories such as antique photographs and art prints that are strewn throughout this cozy cottage kitchen.

    Color and Style Decor with natural elements can be streamlined and contemporary, as this shelving display shows. Sleek balls made of woven reeds provide a smooth shape to offset the spiky white coral and industrial gears. Keeping a neutral color palette pulls the look together.

    Getting Greener Moss topiary balls introduce a natural look and add texture to this arrangement of elegant objects. Incorporating natural touches, typically seen as casual, does not diminish the formality of a traditional space. Rather, it adds another layer of personality. Opt for subtle additions and you’ll maintain your room’s sophistication.
