Cath and I have lived apart now for five months (minus our holiday stent in Paris), and I really, really, really don’t like it. Really, really, really. Six reallys. And it’s more of a hate rather than a dislike. I really(x 6) hate it.
We are obviously separate people living separate lives, but I’m not entirely sure I can deal with that. When we lived in Atlanta we didn’t see each other daily, but knowing that I could drop everything and be by Cath’s side in five minutes or less was key. Now I can drop everything and be by Cath’s side in 10 hours (if I had gobs of moola and no lay overs). I feel like I’ve adjusted to living abroad in every way except for that.
I really don’t feel quite whole being so far from her — it’s just one of those twin things. So in order to banish that feeling of half-ish-ness, I like looking at what her home looks like and to see what she’s up to (thank you, blog). So these photos aren’t meant to be a comparison, just a peak at how small the differences are between us each day — it makes those 10 hours distance feel more like five minutes.

Dear Cath,
Miss you as per usual and can’t wait for our Skype date!

p.s. When are you moving here?
Awe, this is a cute post. Missing a sister is like missing a piece of yourself.

I think a lot of people can feel similarly living so far away from a loved one.
Awww how fast has 5 months flown by? I obviously don’t have a twin but I love the company of my sisters so having a twin like Cath, must be crazy and so hard to adjust when they’re so far away. I’m glad you guys have the blog!
i couldn’t live that far away from my sis either. i thought her being in cali for like 3 yrs was bad. and i love all the pics!!! and i wish i could find billy balls here in houston. those are one of my fav flower/plants.
This post is just the cutest. like, 6 times cute= love.

I love this post, AsianCajuns! As the boy and I talk more and more about buying a home together, my thoughts increasingly turn to how to decorate the space. Your spaces look lovely: cozy and organized, stylish without being overly stylized.
When i understand what belongs to who without seeing the name labels, what am i?
a freaking great follower/reader of this blog, that’s what i am.
i mean ok i understand who is who by your oh so different styles, but bedrooms and stuff?
i am awesome.
lol. ok enough with me. (i am becoming so posh that’s not nice at all).
love your blog a while now, well i’ve been a fan from back then when you had it under a blogspot url. but i never ever had the guts to write a comment, so this is my first time.
i am sorry for the extremely long, irrevelant and quite posh comment. my comments are all over the place as usual.
cath love your picture board, shoes (what a fab collection) and Lar love the decoration of your house.
love you ladies.
ok, i am not trying to spam or anything, but could you go and check out the little blog of mine, it would reallllly mean the world to me. its not like i am asking you to follow me or anything, just check it out, if u don’t like it don’t come back, if u love it stay have fun and possibly follow.

Hi Marianne! Thanks so much for commenting and being such a long-time reader! We will definitely go check out your blog!

I love the organic glamour of Cath’s home. It’s got a modern, organic glam sort of element. Whereas Lar’s flat is whimsical, colorful and eclectic, just like her.
I always love seeing people’s homes, as it’s a reflection of their style and personalities.
This makes me want to have more flowers in our home, but I can’t justify paying the “Paradise Tax” on things like flowers. The Hawaii mark up in daily goods like flowers is insane. 🙁 sad times for my counter tops. Maybe one day I’ll just jump the gun and buy flowers somewhere. Maybe. You girls are so inspiring.

Time to wash and shine your hot hunter boots Lar!!!
