I like it when there's some personality, not just trend after trend...
Maybe a favorite color reigns supreme, just because...
I really love to get a sense of who lives in a house, right when I come in the door. Can't you just imagine who lives here from this image...
Or this next one? Totally different, but welcoming because they look collected...
This kitchen looks like it evolved, don't you think? The beams and the brick totally appeal to me (shhh..I would have used soapstone on the counter tops, though).
Whether these images are your taste or not isn't really the point. Collecting pieces and colors and weaving them into your home is what makes it your own. And when you hire a decorator or designer, make sure you let them know what you prefer -- decorated or collected. It makes a big difference in the end.
Hope you all are enjoying your week!
