The Idea

…because no one is going to fight over your Live Laugh Love sign when you die.

When I started brainstorming for this website, my first idea for the tag line was “because no one is going to fight over your Live Laugh Love sign when you die.” Not only was it a little wordy, I also worried if it was too offensive, but as harsh as it may sound, it’s true. The world does not need another Live Laugh Love sign, or any other overly produced, mass marketed item. I think many people get caught in the trap of thinking that because they see something often that means it is ‘the right’ thing to put in their homes. More often that not though, it almost always means it’s not. That idea is precisely why I wanted to start this blog. To discuss good design, finding personal inspiration and style, and putting our money into good quality, interesting things that people will actually want to remember us by when we’re gone. Not only is it just good common sense to be in a practice of investing our money in interesting, cool, well made, and well designed things and designing our homes and our style around them, it is better for the environment, and easier on our loved ones when they face the inevitable task of clearing out our homes after we pass away. I think these are the keys to creating new heirlooms.
