Finding (and decorating) the perfect home is not only time-consuming. It is tough.
Yet, it is an exiting time, filled with dreams of how your life might turn out if you lived in this place or that.
In my opinion, your home says so much about who you are. It is the one place where you should feel completely comfortable and yourself - like an extended skin concealing the true you.
A home is like your body. You care for how you appear and dress in certain ways to reflect your personality. Hence, when inviting people into your home, its wholesome has to represent you, too. If the eyes are are the mirror of the soul, then your front door is the gateway to your spirit.
I think this point of view has affected my attitude to finding a place to live. To put it mildly, I am currently in between places, but would rather be stuck in this residential limbo for now, opposed to moving into something on a half-hearted compromise. I am not saying that every last detail has to be absolutely spot on when I move in. Actually, I would love the room for improvements and nursing projects. I gather, just as you treat yourself to a day in the spa, a mani-pedi or a new pair of wonderfully expensive shoes once in a blue moon, you should do the same for your home. Decorate the insides of a built-in closet with wall-paper or invest in statement designer pieces, which will last for a lifetime.
Speaking of interiors, I happen to have quite a few very specific ideas and dreams about the decor of my future home. One of the most prominent desires is to buy a Safari Chair in nature coloured canvas, black oak legs and leather strips - a hunting trophy, where I can peacefully sit, rest and enjoy my beautiful home once this wild hunt for a home is brought down.

The Safari Chair was designed by Kaare Klint in 1933. He was inspired by old pictures from an African travel guide, where a British officer and his wife has similar chairs outside their safari tent.
The chair has become a genuine design icon, with its simple and minimalistic lines, and subtle, yet global expression. Within the last years, the interest for the chair has risen after it was re-launched by the acclaimed Danish furniture manufacturer Carl Hansen & Son, who has a wide array of timeless design classics in their portfolio. The price for this modern piece of history ranges from DKK 5.995
