Whether you believe in horoscopes or not, most people think it's fun and entertaining to read them. I've culled some design-oriented information from various Internet sources about horoscope signs
for 2017 and, if it's on the Internet, it must be true. Right?
Plus, I added a few extrapolations of my own.

My upstairs walls are all painted gray-green, I love antiques, and thrifty is my middle name!
Happy New Year to all!

The only two things in the description that are NOT me are, 'well organized, and colors being greens. I do live in a tiny house, am 3 miles from the ocean, my cottage is my little haven/anchor.
Interesting post.
Have a great 2017 ~ FlowerLady
Thanks Lorraine! I'd love to be born on the first day of spring, a time of rebirth. No wonder you love flowers. Your cottage sounds perfect. Happy New Year!
DeleteSagittarius, and I do in fact live in a farmhouse style home on the side of a mountain, LOL!! Got it right except for one detail, I like purples and greens but not so much blue.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole. Sagittarius suits you! Your home sounds amazing. Happy New Year!
DeleteLOVED all these photos and especially the Castle Marne one. Used to live not far from there and walked past it on my way to walking into downtown for work. Now that I'm on the NW side, I miss that fabulous structure. P.S. I think my design horoscope was right on! 😇 Warm wishes for a wonderful 2017.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monika! So glad you enjoyed the photos and that your horoscope fit. Isn't that crazy how that works? BTW I left you a message on your blog under About..couldn't get your email to work for me. Happy New Year neighbor!

ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting Pat. I am a Cancer. It pretty much fit me to a tee, other than the colors. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,

Hi Jann! I'm a Cancer too, not surprised as we seem to design cousins! Glad you enjoyed the post. Happy New Year! Pat
ReplyDeleteI'm a Capricorn and earthy tones for sure, high-rise condo not so much. But hey you never know!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Sandra. You're right...you never know. I think horoscopes are just fun and sometimes, they're even right. Happy New Year! Pat
DeleteThis was fun, creative post to read. However, my horoscope design profile does not fit my style at all. Regardless, I still enjoyed reading your descriptions and seeing the photos you paired with the descriptions.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.

Thanks Judith. I guess horoscopes are not always right, but I think they're always entertaining.Glad you enjoyed the post. Happy New Year! Pat
DeleteWhat a unique idea, Pat, and lovely collection of photos :) Thanks so much for sharing them with us at Vintage Charm--
ReplyDeleteI do not fit the January sign. I am more like an Sagittarius. You fit yours exactly. Did you plan it that way? Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteHi Jan! I agree, you're more of a Sagittarius. Are you sure you were born in January? LOL?
