My Style

Steven and I are in our 10 day option period with our 1st home! I can't help but to obsess about the decor of each room...I am driving myself crazy! My friend Amy posted this awesome link that has a quiz about your decor style and WOW...It is right on the money!

Mine is:
50% Hollywood Couture
33% French Eclectic
17% Classic

I have to say I completely agree! Check out the definition of Hollywood Couture..it pretty much sums me!

Hollywood Couture
"Welcome to Hollywood! What's your dream?" That's right, its time to roll out the red carpet and get ready for the sparkle of crystal and all things flashy that make up the Hollywood Couture style. Hollywood Couture style originated in high-end lifestyles that made up the years between the roaring 20's and the swinging 40's where it was important to bring a feeling of glamour to the home when the world outside may have lacked it. Nowadays it's scratching a similar itch in the sense that it's bringing a sense of opulence to a world that seems to have forgotten how much fun it can be! The great thing about the updated version of the style is how versatile it is. You can really take it in any direction and add almost any style into the mix, perhaps a contemporary leather sofa paired with lacquered Louis XIV chairs that have been upholstered in lush velvet. The key is that each item feels as rich and over-the-top as possible and yet everything still seems livable. It's not a space that screams: "do not touch" - rather it almost dares you to experience its luxury."

I think it describes my style to a tea! Not just my home decor style but my fashion as well. I think my wedding pretty much matched this desription as well.






These 3 are my fave! Clean but a little bit of sparkle and pop of great color!


This isn't Hollywood Couture but I still like it a lot....

  1. Hey Amy! I think you and my friend Anna share a lot of tastes in common, so I wanted to give you the link to her blog: http://yourtrash-mytreasure.blogspot.com/. Here most recent post has a link to her Etsy site where she's selling some things that I think you'd really love! She does a lot of Craigslist / flea market / Goodwill shopping for her home and her own personal wardrobe, and refinishes a lot of the pieces she finds. So creative!
