Chanel was a leo

Coco Chanel's apartment in Paris was filled with detail and symbolism.  Wheat, a symbol of prosperity, could be found in every room.  She loved Chinese screens and used them in fabulously fun, creative ways.  Chanel was born under the sign of Leo and had sculptures of lions scattered throughout her apartment. 

I've always said that clothes are an expression of who we are.  They are an opportunity to express on the outside who and what we are on the inside.  The same can be said for our living spaces.  While clothes can be changed daily (and advisably so!) or even several times a day ...our living spaces might be more of an expression of our inner core...the ideas and beliefs we hold most dear...furniture and paint being changed less often...or at least with a bit more effort.  

What does your space say about you?
