Kye-can-draw - They Call Me Kye

As soon as she saw this house in Nashville,Tennessee, Adora knew it was the house for her, and her biggest indulgence was having it professionally painted pink. 

She loves coming home to a pink house and stepping out on her pink porch.

As soon as you walk thru the front door, there’s a big gold cage that indicates the decor is unique. I wonder if it’s an old elevator.

She says her decor is selectively curated vintage, b/c her choices are unique. She describes the style as “Hollywood regency mystique meets 1970s opulence, with some kitsch and borderline gaudiness depending on which room! But always glamorous, luxurious, and comfortable!”

Instead of a living room and dining room, she chose to have 2 living rooms, b/c she prefers lounging to anything formal. 

She looks for credenzas, end tables, and nightstands that have storage, b/c the older home only has one closet, so she keeps clothes everywhere.

Her biggest inspirations are mostly a mixture of a few of her favorite 1960s and ’70s Palm Springs time capsule homes,

She painted her kitchen appliances and countertops, and also hung the shelves. 

Painting the cabinets pulled it all together. 

Adora doesn’t give decorating advice b/c she feels that decor is so personal. 

She says that the only mistake people make with color is being afraid of it. But, she adds that if you like white and neutrals that can look good, too. 

And, she says to remember that texture pulls a room together. 

Her favorite piece is her 1970s red round bed. She bought it from a woman who bought it directly from a furniture store in the 70s and Adora’s only the 2nd owner.

The bathroom was recently remodeled, which included a claw foot tub. That tile!

I really do think an important component of activism is to make sure your motivation is based on a desire to help/improve things for the people being harmed by a system, and not hatred for the ones doing the harm. both for mental health reasons, and because either way you're training your neural pathways and it's gonna turn out a lot better for literally everyone if the question on everyone's mind after achieving a goal is "how/which people can we help next, what's the next step for improving things" and not "who do we need to attack next."

I'm not saying don't be angry, there are a lot of good reasons to be angry right now and it makes for an excellent kick in the pants, just don't define yourself by it or it's gonna poison you and potentially do collateral damage.

Just in case you forget this exists.

It exists.

I see a lot of ‘cis’ women say they wish they were androgynous in the way men were or they wish they were pretty in the way men were. This is your sign to go try to do that. You may find you enjoy being an androgynous woman. You may find you no longer identify as a woman. You may find you don’t like androgyny. You will not know until you try. Cut your hair if you’ve always wanted to but have been afraid to. Shop in the men’s section if you’ve been too nervous to. Wear clothing with an androgynous  silhouette. Experiment with binding, take baby steps with compression bras if you want. Wear unisex scents. Live life. Try things you want to try. A lot of cis women do not understand the joys of mens pants and mens deodorant. I think everyone should try both of those things.
