I'm very much drawn to casual, cottage, coastal, and farmhouse. My decorating style is always evolving because there are always so many beautiful "looks" out there and since I decorate mostly with vintage finds and re-purposed furniture, I have the flexibility to change things around quite a bit. I think the best way to describe my style might be..."vintage chic", which I interpret as mixing those flea market finds with new items to make my home "chic" and "comfy". A good tip for creating a beautiful home would be make paint your best friend. There is no easier way to change the look of a room than with a can of paint. If you aren't in love with the color, paint over it. It's also, a very thrifty way to change up your home without spending a lot of bucks on it. I can't tell you how many times I have painted the rooms in my home. I guess you could say, I'm a painting fool! Another tip is don't just decorate your home with all retail store items and matching sets of furniture. Mix it up. Mix some vintage and found pieces with the new stuff. This will create a comfortable home. Since, I am the owner of a vintage/new home décor business called Coastal Charm Interiors, I am very big on mixing it up. I stay really busy with my business, so sometimes my nest (home) gets put on the back burner and I hate that. I am trying really hard to get more things done around here, but making my business succeed, comes first. I live on the Alabama gulf coast, and I am lucky to also have a beach front condo. So, keeping two homes and a shop space in order, keeps a gal my age, really on my toes. |
I have seen bits and pieces of things showcased on Linda's blog, but never a tour. Luvly!

ReplyDeleteI just love LInda's style and think that she's terribly creative. I had not seen those bed springs on the board until today and now I'm hoping I run across some soon. My favorite thing is the ironstone platter hanging inside that unique frame! She definitely has an eye for displaying her treasures!
