What's Your Style

[monkeywrangler71]

What is your decorating style? Do you fit into a particular type, or have you invented your own style - and if so, what would you call it?

~My kitchen is retro(30's-50's)and the rest of the house is an eclectic Contemporary/Danish Modern/Traditional mix. I like strong decorating statements and themes but used sparingly. Simple is best for me.~

I think the best way to describe ours is Traditional English circa 1950's LOL perhaps it would be considered ecclectic now I am not sure?

I intend posting pics soon when I have sorted out my living room furniture. ( Rather, I will get my dh to do this as I have zero skill in that dept and he is into photography

I called it "historical period" in the poll.... kind of old world American/Amish"y" .... I like simple peices of furniture of furniture that are "early american" in style

We live in an very eclectic home. Most shelving is from Ikea, I have some Medieval style wall decorations and like the look of black iron. But most of the furniture is contemporary.

The front room has an antique roll top desk and a cabinet that are totally cool.

The guest bedroom is done with black Ikea furniture with a black wrought iron style bed and heavy drapes. I try to keep my pewter Gothic type of knick-knacks in there.

I am liking the look of steam punk more and more though.

I have a lot of hand me down pieces and a few things I've chosen along the way. I have no idea what its called but my own LOL.

I'd say Eclectic.. If I like it, it comes in the house..

Traditional with a southern flair...warm colors, fleur de lis, wood floors.

I voted country, but really my style is eclectic for sure.
I love the shabby chic country style. Is my house decorated that way? No.

I have what I pick up here and there at yard sales and thrift stores. I guess my house does have somewhat of a country feel in the livingroom and dining room and where my desk is. It is not the big, comfy, pillowy slip covered furniture I would like.

We just redid the kitchen and If the house lent itself to a white country kitchen that is what I would have loved to do. It really is not the style that fits this house. Don't get me wrong I love my new kitchen it goes with the house and it is new. I would have done painted white cabinets, some with glass, maybe a white marble countertop, white subway tiles on the backsplash. A big country sink. you get the picture.

this is what I have

Is Early American Yard Sale a style? No? *giggles*

No, really it's mostly Colonial period pieces that have been handed down through the generations in my family. Some country pieces, thrift store & yard sale finds. It's a mish mash of decor that somehow seamlessly blends together.

I've been trying to smarten things up, update a bit. In my heart I'd really like the opportunity to send all the furniture with my oldest when he marries and start anew. I am however doing one room in our home with an elegant French decor with just a hint of a modern edge. Finally, a girls room in a houseful of men.

[monkeywrangler71]

I said modern, although I've never gone cold steely modern, just straight lines minimalist.

[lisaflex]

we have been in the process of redoing alot of the house. according to my designer, i am french/country/cottage.

i love all shades of brown, orange, copper, and yellow. some rod iron. distressed tables. we are very "arhaus-ey"

I call mine, "It is what it is and I hope you make yourself at home and feel free to curl up on the couch while not being surprised to find a dog head/cat bod in your lap, dog/cat being very content just laying there". Whoo that's some kind of decorating style!
Feel the love.
