Friend Makin’ Monday

I haven’t been able to participate in Friend Makin’ Monday in quite some time. If you would like to join in, please head over to Amber’s blog, aefilkins, to link up! Today Amber wants to know:

What is your personal decorating style?

According to Sproost, I am:

44% Classic

33% Wine Country Style

23% French Eclectic

I think of my decorating style as being pretty classic and traditional. I want my home to be beautiful but still be functional and comfortable. I like warm, dark colors, leather furniture, and dark wood stains.

I change my bedrooms and bathrooms up quite frequently. When we lived in military housing in Washington (state), I had a toile them going on in the bedroom and bathroom. I loved the toile, but eventually the room got to be too busy and overwhelming. I’ve since decorated but I’d have to clean my room to show you pictures of the new decor and that’s just not happening. :)

I think monograms make everything better, don’t you?

The bed in my room is an antique. It’s the same bed that I’ve had since I was a little girl. My parents moved me out of a crib and into this bed when I was two years old. It’s a little beat up from our moves but I’ll never get rid of it.

Like I mentioned, I love leather furniture and dark wood stains. Red, brown, and gold are pretty predominant colors in my house.

The armoire is one of my favorite pieces of furniture in the whole house. It has these gorgeous burnt gold iron inlays on the top and bottom.

If I had an unlimited budget, I’d just order the entire Pottery Barn store. I love to drool over their catalogs and browse in the store, but the prices are a little more than what I can afford.

This craft room is amazing! Look at the storage – I die!

I salivate over this organizational system every single time I see it in the catalog.

Love camel colored leather! I actually have that iron piece.. it looks amazing on the wall when it is lit.

How about you – what is your decorating style?
