What is your style going to be?
First off, Sean & I have a cozy little apartment. I do not live there just yet(I am old school, and wanted to be married when I live there). Decorating has always come easy to me. Ever since I was younger, I would buy something new for my room and my mom would say "That is so ugly, where are you going to put it"? Buy the time I added to the decoration my mom would say "That looks amazing in here, how did you do that"? Am I the most creative person? Absolutly not. But I have an eye for color and putting things together so everything matches.
But to awnser everyones questions..I have no idea what my style is now. I know how I want my apartment to look, and I know what I don't like. I am not modern. To me it makes everything cold & unwelcoming. When someone comes over for a visit, I want everything to be warm and inviting. Walking into an Ikea is painful. Everything is black & silver and the legs of furniture all look like old metal filing cabinents. My style is Traditional. I love dark cherry wood items and oak furniture. I love antiques. I love big fluffy couches and chairs and I love pillows. (Seriously, I have an obsession with pillows) I have a vintage 1930s cherry wood dresser at home that has been re finished that was my grandmothers as a little girl. It is absolutly beautiful. Unfortunatly, it will be staying at my parents house because I am actually afraid to move it, afraid of scratching it.
Sean & I have different taste when it comes to decorating the apartment. He likes very little. I am very excited to actually start decorating and getting everything put together nicely for when after we are married.
Target is buy far my favorite place to shop! I usually go in and say to myself "Ok, I am going to grab some starbucks, and the things I came in for. 4 hours and $150.00 later I come out with apartment decor. I can spend all day just looking at everything. From furniture to, wall clocks, to photo frames. My new favorite thing are organization baskets. The darker brown baskets that fit perfectly in every hall closet for easy organizing. Also, they have amazing pillows, in every color you can imagine. Sean usually goes with me because he knows better than to let me go alone. :)
Color Schemes are a big deal to me. I am really into the dark red color. It's a great accent color. Our living room now has this tan/brown/red theme to it. But what I am most excited about is the Master Bedroom. Sean & I bought a beautiful bed comforter awhile back that I had to have. It's black, grey, and off white. I thought we needed an accent color, so we went with red(and in the summer, I want to do a soft yellow) The bedroom is going to a be a large project for me, because I have to get it just right.
Here are some photos of my Interior Deisgn Style. Enjoy!
A monogrammed soap dispenser=love. Not only does it cost $10.00 but it looks so nice for the price. This brown matches our bathroom perfectly
A wine rack used as a towel holder? Yes please. I love fresh, fluffy, perfectly folded towels. What a nice way to keep them organized.
We actually have this willow tree design. I love willow tree. Sean thinks its nonsense to have a figureen of a couple with no face. What does he know?
We have a beautiful shelf that is brown. So I think these burlap monogrammed letters are a must! (I love monogrammed anything)
