My unstyled life isnt messy or clean or ugly or stunning. Instead, my goal is to create a home that reflects back the spirit and personality of our family. Its a work in progress. Sometimes the beauty in my life is by accident, other times its intentional. Its there, either way, because when I remember to fill my home with what I loveperson, place, or thingodds are it will be beautiful. Maybe not always appreciated, but always beautiful. If you feel the same, you are welcome to share a link to your own unstyled life in the comments.
I didn’t plan to continue this series into the new year, but I couldn’t resist posting this picture, even though uploading it crashed my computer and left me with a black screen for three hours.
Speaking of unstyled lives, you can’t go into the weekend without reading this. Reading it prompted me to reconsider the end of this weekly series.
I am glad that you are reconsidering. After all, who would want to miss your dinosaur decorated mantle? Not me. Lovely sentiment in the link that you posted.
Ditto, Monica. It’s refreshing to see real life … a reminder that sometimes beauty lies in the imperfection …
Please continue with unstyled life, I like keeping it real. If I have to see one more perfectly styled room with perfectly karate chopped pillows, I might jump off a bridge.

I’ve been an avid reader for several months now and I so look forward to you “Unstyled Life” posts. So many of the home-keeping blogs on the internet feature homes that look so…sterile and perfect–and completely devoid of warmth–that it’s depressing.

I love this series. I’m sorry I only participated that once. Keep going, pretty please.
That’s a beautiful photo. I love the action inside while it’s dark and calm outside. And your porch is lovely too – I’d love a big concrete landing and overhang like that someday.
I really look forward to your “Unstyled Life” posts… in fact, there are now times in my own home when I stop, take in something, and think, “This is soooo ‘Unstyled Life’ material!” :) I really hope you reconsider ending it.
