Getting to know each other: What is your style of decorating?

**Katybird** · 08-02-2006, 09:58 AM

What is your style of decorating? Do you have theme for your rooms or for your home and stick with that theme or do prefer a more eclectic mix of things that you love.

I have loosely based themes for my kitchen and office but the rest of my house is just eclectic style. I like to decorate with things that make me happy, if I see an item and I know that it would bring a smile to face to have it in my home and it is in my budget I will purchase it. I like simple classic items and country style items. My kitchen is loosely themed with roosters and old glassware like old milk bottles and old soda bottles and my bathrooms are in a sea and lighthouse themes.

What about you...what is decorating style?

My whole house is country..trying to go more primitive country though.

Well, once you look past all the toys around the house you will find our home is decorated in a primitive country theme. The kitchen and dining room are roosters. The rec. room is patriotic. The living room is filled with family photos in prim country type frames, along with prim angels. The kids bedrooms each have their own themes, ones they picked. My bedroom is classic country complete with, what I think is called, a wedding ring quilt. I hope to one day do something with the sun room, which at the current time holds all the outdoor toys and my husbands toys.

I love our home, it's comfortable and lived in.

Primitive country here, too.... or, as my sisters and husband like to call it-- "old beat-up stuff".

Some things in my home are more classic country, but, my favorite style is the primitive stuff.

All of my house is modern except for the kitchen... it's pretty much country.

country/primitive here also!

**Nantahala** · 08-02-2006, 11:21 AM

Minimalist, small. *lol* This is the cottage we plan to build and I like the decore of the model quite a bit.

**PrairieRose** · 08-02-2006, 11:21 AM

I like country with a western accent with a little french country grandma's house thrown in

.

My house is country comfortable, nothing fancy just come on in, prop your feet up anytime.

I'm working on a modified French Country theme. Lots of red, toiles, ginghams, florals, and white wood. Unfortunately, money is too tight for me to do it all at once, so it's probably difficult for other people to tell what the theme is right now!

**Kitten20** · 08-02-2006, 11:50 AM

Right now, I live in an apartment and since money is usually tight, I have no theme!

But I like primitive country.

I guess mine is country and english cottage. But whatever makes me happy will find a home.

**mom2matty** · 08-02-2006, 01:24 PM

My house is mostly country.....lots of Americana stuff

**banana** · 08-02-2006, 01:27 PM

No decorating style here. My house was built in the 60's so it has a retro look with the light fixtures.

**kabin63** · 08-02-2006, 01:32 PM

My house is currently decorated with insulation....LOL, but when it is done I will will be making all my primitive country decorations and using the heirlooms I have on hand. I just checked a book out from the library about Tasha Tudor. Love her stuff.

Simpleselu, I love the cottage!

My family and I live in a cabin and it's authentic country. We certainly have the country smell anyway- from the cows in the pasture adjoining our property.
