What is your decorating style

Decorating Style

Do you know what yours is? I have a pretty good idea, I like two things: old and comfy. Antique finds like books, mason jars and art work mixed with classic furniture, cozy throws, soft pillows etc. If you follow Young House Love, they put out an article on 3 ways to pin down your style here. I thought I would share mine with you all.

So, if you follow me on facebook, I had a slight breakdown regarding the last Bones episode (no cable so I kinda slack and watch it on hulu online later when I can catch up) SO I decided I needed to be productive...

Here is hum drum (cute) but snore bistro set in my front yard.

Well... as many of my friends know I am a total freak about spray paint, sadly I have limited projects I can show until now. I had a wee spray can left of red paint for a ....erm....twilight swap. I <3 the damn books, cannot help it ;) ANYWAYS. One wee can little inspired me to buy another to make these:

Of course I am only half done, I need another coat and to start the table and its second coat.

But it has so much more PING against the white siding do you think? What do you think of my impromptu project? I will finish it as soon as I get another joanns 50% off coupon coz I am a cheap lil gal ;)

Here is plant One a lone Lilly from a 10 pack of mixed lillies

These are my peonies that were transplanted only a year ago... these weren't supposed to bloom like this for another year or two so I am super excited at how many buds and how green it is this year.

I meant to pull them all from in-between these trees:

My neighbour has the prettiest yard <3 ...erhm anyways...

1. What are you most excited for RIGHT NOW?
My trip back to CO to visit my family, its the first time it hasn't been horrifically awkward, a wedding or graduation of some sort. I think I can finally start building up the good things and re-build the relationships.

2. Who is your style icon? What inspires your look?
Sadly, Kristin Stewart. She doesnt care what  people think, she sticks to her style and she rocks it.

3. If you could have dinner with anyone, alive or dead, who would you invite?
My great grandmother Irene (I'd ask her oodles of questions about our heritage)

4. What did you dress up as for your first Halloween?
haha a rabbit jumping out of a magicians hat. I kid you not, it was like a black hoola hoop with a black skirt and my top was a bunny outfit with ears. mom painted my face white with a pink nose and wiskers. I so loved that costume.

5. What are you improving?
My attitude about my self, exercising, going to finally start college, cleaning up (I am the worst at picking up my things at home)
 
 
I’d love to hear your answers!
