I've been attempting to find a new style in my house. And I finally found it!
A while back it dawned on me. I had decorated my house with a lot of cowboy stuff. Why? I know nothing about that way of life. Did I want that way of life? Not exactly. So why was that all my house was about? This is when I thought long and hard. What is my style? What defines me?
Someone once said to me that I was an old soul in a young body. Well, the more I got to thinking about that phrase and looking at stuff I had picked up at estate sales, it was true. I like a lot of old stuff. But something I really love is lace. It's just so pretty. All the different patterns. It's simple yet intricate and absolutely beautiful and girly. It's feminine.
I also love simple and comfy. When I want to sit on my couch, I want to be comfortable. What describes comfort to me? A nice big couch with a cozy blanket and lots of pillows. Neutral colors are soothing. So after a long day of work, going into a comfy living room is the perfect spot!
No, I'm not a girly girl. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. But I like that feminine side too. Honestly, I'm a hopeless romantic. I want that fairy tale ending! So touches of lace show that. I knew that I had to add that into my new design.
Here's a before and after picture of my embroidery hoops. The lace defines my style so much better than the bandanna's did.
This is just a sneak peak of what's to come in the living room. Be ready for some BIG changes! And if you need a reminder of what my living room looks like, then check out this post: My Living Room
