They're been in a box out in the garage for years. They're so tacky but also so funny. We'll probably pass them on to our grandchildren!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279890283110081126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544113005073358127.post-70155841729121746402012-05-12T21:45:50.882-07:002012-05-12T21:45:50.882-07:00I think my house is *gumbo* style too!

You make so...Kim thanks for linking to Cowgirl Up. You make some awesome points, and I think people do get to much into a trend, and then don't like it later. I am trying to be careful not to fall into doing too much stuff that I may not like later. I don't care too much what's in or out, but what I like. I call my style Texas Living with a French accent. I am having a bit of a time, though since I spent so much money on my 18th century reproduction furniture in the early 80's and now I really love French things. I can safely say it isn't a passing thing with me, since I have been in love with French style for now over fifteen years. I am really trying to keep what I really like, get a few new things that I really, really like and get rid of the rest. And so I am buying some new French chests to replace my old triple dresser. It's hard since I know I won't get my money back on the dresser and it is a well-made piece of American furniture (which is becoming a thing of the past) but I just don't want it any more. I am still loving some of my mahogany pieces, just not all of them. Any way with all of the recently inherited pieces, our carefully edited house is now overfull again, so I am trying to decide who stays and who goes. I do put some overflow on the ranch porches, but they are getting pretty full.Anita at Cedar Hill https://www.blogger.com/profile/01003197493013237945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544113005073358127.post-9809097513288052822012-04-24T22:18:26.639-07:002012-04-24T22:18:26.639-07:00I was always startled when someone was asking abou...I was always startled when someone was asking about my decorating services and wanted to know what style I did. It never crossed my mind to work in only one style. The home is a reflection of the people who live in it. My job was to find out their personalities, lifestyles, needs and wants, and interpret that in the most functional and pleasing manner possible. I never wanted someone to walk in and ask who their decorator was. It should look natural.

Um. Gulp. Pottry Barn meets Tuscan/Mediterranean meets traditional with touches of contemporary and lots and lots of natural finishes - you won't find plastic in my world. Wood, stone, granite, marble, glass, pottery.....and I have a bedroom that is more painted shabby French and one of my guest rooms is all girlie Victorian.<br /><br />Ecletic? Yup. Mixed? You bet. Me? Absolutely - and it all flows beautifully together.<br /><br />To Thine Own Self Be True.Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.com
