NORA CHOU GIDE PROJECT + { eleven etsies }

Nora Chou is a recent follower of the site and is currently seeking help for her project on Domestechtopias (learn more about Domestechtopias  and the GIDE PROJECT).  Here is my entry for the project:

What makes a home, a home?
A home for me is a place that is spacious, yet gives a cosy and private feel to it.

What is most important/ a 'must have' to you in your home?
My home would have to surround me with things I love. My must-haves/decor are picture frames of my love ones and many many colourful pin-ups and posters. Oh and books!

How do you personalize your home?
A lot of my friends have commented on how tidy my living space is. I guess I personalise my space by organizing the things I love in a presentable manner so friends and family feel like they are stepping into a picture book of my life when they step into my space.

How has this changed over the years?
I have recently added a whiteboard for ideas and scribbles. That's about it!

What have you specifically placed in your home that you think is the main object you use to personalize your room? (CURRENTLY and in the PAST)?
This is going to sound ridiculous, but the only non-necessity I've lugged around with me across continents over the past four years is a huge plush cow. In my defence, it makes the most placid face when I am having a bad day -- which is oddly enough, very calming. Another item would be the guitar. I don't play it much, but having one around reminds me of that special someone in my life. In the past, it would have been a radio (I'm a big fan of music).

On another note, I was planning to use some of last week's amazing Etsy finds because there weren't many goodies this week (I usually look up Etsy minutes before making the eleven etsies entry so everything you see here is recent in the store). Sadly, most of my last week's finds were already sold off, so these will have to do:-
