my style [tag]
When Alex from the fabulous blog, From the Right Bank to the Left Coast, tagged me to share one picture that reflects my style I thought it would be a pretty east task but I was quite wrong! My head began spinning and I came up with a list of all the elements this space would have but I couldn't find the perfect representation in a room. Yesterday morning I was perusing my daily morning reads and I came across the workspace of Milly designer, Michelle Smith, over at Kylie's truly lovely blog, Bandelle. And it was love at first sight!
I know that it is a fairly simple space but it truly has all the design elements that I long for-- traditional sensibility, modern touches, abundant light, gorgeous dark hardwood floors and splashes of vibrant color.

I would do almost anything to have that sofa--such beautiful structure and I can't help but smile when I admire the fabric. Ok, now to pass on this fun and challenging tag to five more bloggers--Christina of Down and Out Chic, Jess at The Homebound, paula of Two Ellie, Christina of You Can Call Me Chris, cmoi of Simply Seductive and anyone else that would like to join in!
Also, I have a hard time putting words to my style. Am I the only one with this problem? If not, how do you describe your style?

My style is pretty eclectic, lots of white, splashes of bright colors, a mix of rustic and modern elements.
Btw, Blair, I'm a bit shy to ask...would you like to trade links?

i love helping people find words for their inspirations ;))) i suggest keeping an on-going list of words you find, descriptions you read, inspirations you have, that should help you notice the words that keep reappearing, the ideas that repeatedly inspire you and the random things that come and go......you know like those topic lists on the side of blogs where the most used words get bigger...am i making any sense?? ;)))) it's a fun exercise anyway..but i love words so...maybe that's just me!
good luck...if you need help with words you know where to find me :)

I also can never describe my style. My style is a mix of keyworld and colors and I also must admit that my style is still growing on me.
"traditional sensibility, modern touches, abundant light, gorgeous dark hardwood floors and splashes of vibrant color."
I was thinking the same thing (that I would have a hard time describing/pinpointing everything) but when I read the above it was perfect! Pretty much my style to a tee.
Good luck finding your words.
PS- Excellent advice Chantal.
My style? Depends on the day!
