Vintage Inspiration Friday #10 Finding your style

It's so exciting finding a place that I identify with.
This space in a decor center in St. Louis,
Warson Woods,
just speaks to me








This is the second time I've visited here
and when I step inside this space
I just want to move in.



I think that is the way to really tell
what your dominant style may be.

There are a lot of gorgeous places
that cause me to drool
but could I move in?
Does it reflect who I am?



French Country has always been what I gravitate toward
No matter where I've lived
The dramatic oversized pieces
contrast
definition
elements of nature
elegant yet comfortable




Antiquity
Classic
Old World

Actually, this space is what prompted me to paint my Dining Room




I love so many "styles" of decorating
and like to mix elements and pieces...
white
vintage
farmhouse
primitive...




But I always come back to these lines
and how they make me "feel"




Have you found your "dominant style"?

Hope you'll join in today with
 Vintage Inspiration Friday!
remember, you can link up any vintage inspiration.

love,
Debra

Snuggle up



These crisp Fall days
 hold such a fascination for me.

The colors of the leaves and sky;
 the critters, (squirrel,s chipmunks, and birds)
 all scurrying around
filling their pantries for the cold winter days ahead.
My old chippy Adirondack chair
calls out for a good book and a hot mug of cider.











I love to mix the patterns of plaid, stripes, and florals.



Pendleton and Scottish blankets are my favorite cuddle on these cool days.














Halloween is over,
but Fall will still be here awhile.












My mums and ferns survived a killing frost last week,
but soon it will be too cold to try to cover them.




I just wanted to say "Thanks" again,
for the great turnout for
 Vintage Inspiration Friday!

We made a trip to St. Louis to visit our kids,
so we were constantly on the go.
Come back Friday, I have some wonderful photos
of the local fun.

I'm joining Kathleen for White Wednesday


and Cindy for Show and Tell Friday

Hope you're having a wonderful week!
(I'm pooped!)

love,
Debra
