Atmosphere
Atmosphere is defined by Webster as "… a general
feeling or spirit" as well as "… interesting effect produced by
decoration, etc."
Atmosphere is what turns ordinary restaurants with average
cuisine into distinctive, trendy eateries with month long waiting lists.
Atmosphere is an attack on our senses. It affects the way we
see, hear, smell, touch and taste.
Atmosphere is the reflection seen in vacation photos. It's a romantic memory and that "conquer
the world" attitude felt after leaving a theater featuring the "best
of Rocky".
Not surprisingly, deciding on just the right atmosphere for your
home is a very personal thing and oftentimes, quite an adventure. As a result, it is helpful to keep in mind that
your home is unique because of the people who live there, so consider sharing
their story as you embark on your journey.
Concentrate on going beyond paint and paper, bring your home to
life, capture a feeling, recreate a destination or celebrate talents, hobbies
and personal interests. Invariably, the result is a home filled with the warmth
and charm you desire … a home filled with atmosphere.
