Vintage on line

I was tagged by the sweet as can be Karlene at Bloomstudio to post a picture that encompasses my interior design style. Since I was never one to follow directions, I've posted more than that. I just couldn't help myself. I think my style, much like my personality, is full of contradictions.

I love to pair the refined and rustic, light and dark, smooth and rough. I love marble and old wormy wood. I love linen slipcovers and chippy iron tables. I love rooms that have texture, layers and personality.

I love lots of natural light and soft cozy corners. I think every room should have at least one piece of furniture that is chipped, distressed or peeling. Since I'm on a budget, that part is easy for me to achieve.
Karlene, sorry I didn't play by the rules but if you knew me a little better, it wouldn't surprise you at all.
