When I was given a large book of wallpaper samples from the 1970’s, I was struck by how the familiar patterns and designs instantly evoke a sense of hominess. Against the backdrop of these evocative patterns, I assembled a totem of objects and miniatures that convey the sense of warmth, coziness, and light that envelops us when we are snuggled up in a loving home.
