I think I lost "my" style in the sea-of-shabby-chic. I have always loved the muted colors but but not the distressed look.
Most of the blogs I read, are heavy on the shabby-chic/rustic ocean-side cottage look. And that's okay!!
More often than not, I love the blog-land rooms I see! And slowly but surely, my style started to evolve into the distress, beachy look. But that's not me!
Clean, classic, crisp and muted is me. Like this...
http://www.benjaminmoore.com/ - wall color: Grey Mirage
Okay, okay... this is almost me. I'm not a fan of the cubes on the table or the vines on the stairs but overall, it's clean, classic, a touch modern and subtle.
Of course this all come to head when we are in no position to redecorate, with the trip coming up and all.
So for the next 2 months, I will be planning the elements and stalking the sales so, the moment we return, I can get to work!
Another inspiration came from an old mood for from http://www.younghouselove.com/ ...
That is our dining room set! We have similar blinds and green glassware! And I have been adding pops of spring green for our spring/summer look. I want to add white curtains over our French doors to cover the hideous vertical blinds. So though we have this look in the making, having a little guide is helping me stay focused.
More ideas to come but in the meantime, have you had a decor change-of-heart?
