    Love it! I have been decluttering to get down to the very best accessories I have. Just removing clutter and donating to a thrift store or gifting to people has made such a huge difference in how our home looks. I am definitely moving away from having a lot of accessories. You have a very “just the right amount” look, and it is beautiful. I love the coastal grandmother style looking breezy and effortless. I recently donated 9 bags of stuff and a chair that was crowded in the bedroom. As attached as I felt to packrat and hang onto the “stuff,” it is a week later, and I do not remember what the items were specifically, and I don’t miss them. I think the coastal grandma look is perfect for MEANINGFUL accents, not just “odds and ends” from stores. You hit the note I want to hit with my own home.
