Stuck Between Styles?????

I think I am currently searching for a new style???  I am going to the same places I have always scored big in the past, but just not finding the wonderful pieces or inspiration I used to.  I think maybe my style has changed, or is trying to....and I am searching for it.

I still LOVE the old and unusual.

I will always be attracted to things that remind me of my childhood...like the wonderful old iron beds with cozy linens and quilts that my grandmother's had.

I think I will always have a passion for red.  I heard a designer once say that you should always have something red in a room...no matter how small.

Color in general is appealing to me.  Picking a pallet and creating a room around that is something I love to do.

Maybe a nod to a more french look????

I also love the idea of mixing in industrial.

Some more formal pieces are catching my eye now!

And my country (farmhouse) roots are still there.

I don't know...maybe my style is growing into a great big hodge podge of clutter.  Mixing some formal elements with a farmhouse look...throwing in some french inspiration with a piece of industrial and a great pallet of colors!  Now, if I could just fit in the iron bed...I would have it all!  I will keep looking for my style over the next few months...what inspires you...what makes up your style?

  1. I think you've found our style...eclectic! That way you can use it all however you like. Oh, and of course I agree that every room should have some red :)

  3. Gosh, are you living inside my head? I love primitive furniture with homespun towels, yet I am drawn to pretty linens, ruffles, and re-purposed painted furniture. I like a stack of 40's suitcases aside my rope bed as a night table. My idea is to live with what you love!

  4. I say buy what you like, mix in a few fresh new pieces you can rotate somewhere else ( or sell..lol) and keep
    it fresh, but YOU- eclectic is good.
