MY STYLE

CREATIVE & ECLECTIC:
- proclaims a free-spirited, lively personality inspired by both the past and present
- one of a kind, pretty vintage and artisan objects, no matter their pedigree
- sets the stage for casual self-expression that infuses a mix and match look with endearing charm
COLOR:
- have a hard time picking a favorite- try to layer a paintbox full of informal brights
FURNITURE:
- new pieces and matching suites bore me
- happier with exuberant patchwork of eras, styles, upholstery and finishes collected over time (i.e. a new traditional tufted sofa with old-painted wood flea market finds)
PATTERN:
- my artist's eye hasn't seen a check, polka dot, stripe or paisley it hasn't liked, florals are a must
(what will I do when I need to live with a boy?!)
FABRIC:
- collected bits of handiwork, like laces, embroidery, crewel and appliques (some new, some old), reinforce a 'whimsical cottage' look
RUGS:
- comfort above all. must meet the "treat your feet" test
WINDOWS:
- sunshine recharges my creativity
- like translucent fabric, on soft shads or charmingly embellished curtains, to let the light stream in
ACCESSORIES:
- anything handmade speaks to my center
- group collections of paintings, sketches, collages or pottery to achieve a mismatched look
