What’s my style?
I’m often asked what my personal style is. I don’t really have one in particular. I swear I could live in ten different styles of homes quite easily. I love the balance that a Georgian home offers. I love the ruggedness of a cottage on the Irish coastline complete with a peat fire and a thatch roof. But then again, I could easily find myself living in a Scandinavian ski lodge, even though I don’t ski!
Mostly though, I gravitate to more of a PNW way of life. I love the warm use of wood for floors with the simple lines of cabinetry made out of fir. The use of slate floors and salvaged wood beams add a lot of weight to the room. Large open windows to let in lots of daylight and Mother Nature. A large handwoven area rug in the center of the room to add color and to anchor the furniture placement. Throw in a few wool blankets over a leather chair with a fire in the fireplace, a good glass of wine and I’m good to go! I love all shades of green which can be mixed with blues or purples and terra cotta to just jazz it up a bit.
