My Answers to Julia's Questions
1. Do you live in the same state that you were
born in? If yes, do you live in the same town?
No, I am originally from Louisiana and now live in Texas.
2. When you were a kid, what did you want to "be
when you grew up?"
At various times: a ballerina, an author, a lawyer
3. Is your answer to question 2, your occupation
now or ever?
No - especially the ballerina part. However, I still write sometimes and maybe one day...
4. What is your dream vacation?
My ultimate dream would be a true Grand Tour of Europe - how they used to do it centuries ago. Spend two or three years going from place to place, spending a couple of months in one place at a time. Soaking it all in.
5. What is your favorite charity?
St. Jude's in honor of my cousin, Savannah.
6. What kind of camera do you have?
A crappy one.
7. What is your hidden talent?
I'm stronger than I look.
8. What do you value most in your life?
My family.
9. Do you think painting over wood furniture is
okay?
Obviously, but I think it should only be done when it will improve the piece of furniture - not just to fit into a certain style.
10. Who is your favorite author?
Vladimir Nabokov
11. What is the significance of the name of your
blog?
I go into more detail here (my very first post), but basically I think our homes are the visual manifestation of a family's love - so love in idleness. It's from Shakespeare and when we buy our forever home it will be the home's name (because I grew up reading Anne of Green Gables and think all homes should have poetic names). Meanwhile, it's just a blog.
