::just my taste

Happy New Year! It seems as though not much has changed this year, but the little things that have add up to big changes. I think their mostly internal. We're still in the same apartment, I'm still in the same job (*knocks on wood), still no babies, no more pets, no major changes. Aaron, however, had a bit of a ride this year. :) Thankfully it ended on a high note (thank you Lord!) for him. It's a little bit mixed for me. I'm obviously thrilled for him...but in this change, my time with him will take a serious beating. All things will work out...

So, the lovely Caitlyn has decided what her style is. It got me thinking. (Well, that and the 30 home decorating books I've been reading). It's been said that you don't necessarily need to define your style down to just one word...but think of many words that would define it and run with it. I think this would be the closest to mine:

























With some minor alterations, of course. While some may think the color palette boring, I find it calming and tranquil. I love the mix of super modern furniture with the antiquey molding in the first picture. The japenese latern adds a nice touch. I'm not crazy about the huge piece of art on the mantle nor the pillow color choice...but the couches look sittable. Anyway, I'll try and find more of "my style" and show you because I know you just Have to know.

So, if you saw this picture, what would you say my style is?
