"I know a column at the Whitman Plaza Goodwill absolutely hates to see me coming,"
"I just added to these rooms piece by piece,"
"A lot of the steps were like: realizing I should have curtains. Waking up and deciding the wall should be pink. Lying down and wishing there was one more pillow. Seeing an area that felt empty and hitting the Goodwill to look for a photo or knickknack to put there. And then stopping when it felt done!"
"I think it's because it makes me happy to look at it,"
A homeowner collects architectural columns from thrift shops and salvaged one from an old church. The collection includes multiple columns displayed together as a focal feature. Decorating occurred incrementally, with additions made piece by piece over time. The process involved practical and aesthetic choices such as adding curtains, painting a wall pink, bringing in extra pillows, and finding photos and knickknacks at Goodwill to fill empty areas. Items were added until each space felt complete. The homeowner spends most of her time in the decorated room because the arrangement and objects bring visible pleasure when observed.
