If you know me, you know I love homes that look lived in. I love homes that invite one to flop (on a sofa, into a chair, on the floor, etc.). Homes that are cluttered, imperfect, and real (although, to be fair, "perfect" homes can be real too... just not for me. I'm too messy.)
Back in 2010, I did a post entitled Imperfection is Beauty: Christmas in the real world. And today, I'm doing something similar. Only this time, instead of featuring holiday-ready homes, I've gathered a small collection of living room shots from Flickr (all credited and with creative commons licenses in place).
These are living rooms I believe in. I can imaging flopping down in each and every one of them.
Can't you?

Flickr has changed a lot since I started using it back in 2005. And now, with Pinterest and whatnot, it's a lot less popular than it used to be (even though it does different stuff), but I still love it. I feel like Flickr still gives me access to all sort of fun images I wouldn't see otherwise -- in particular, the real-deal stuff that hasn't been all the way around the web and back already.
Besides the obvious homeyness, the thing I like about the pictures above is that I hadn't seen them before. And I doubt you had either.
Anyhoo. Keep on being real, my decorating friends.
