So many delicious things to be tempted by, but I think you're right, stick with timeless, classic and simple rather than trendy and you'll never tire of it.Mel@Georgica pondhttp://www.georgicapond.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-45781028966638204672011-06-30T15:08:07.965-07:002011-06-30T15:08:07.965-07:00Many of my favorites as well.

I love so many different styles and I am trying to determine which color grabs my attention most. I know that an olive brown is one, and I love black and white.<br />I am going to go through and look at what I have saved.<br />Thanks for the inspiration!<br />Teresa<br />xoxoSplendid Sasshttp://www.splendidsass.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-50642898489100903432011-06-29T19:43:39.495-07:002011-06-29T19:43:39.495-07:00What a wonderful post!

I have kept a file of all the magazine pictures that I have liked for years, and I have found that my style and what I love has changed a bit, but I bet if I went back, I would still find some of the same elements in all of them!

As design bloggers, we are looking at gorgeous spaces every single day, and its so true, you do get confused as to what you really want in your own home. I will definitely try this to pinpoint my own style.

I brought something home from Michigan this week that isn't my style or the style of my home...doesn't look like "me" or anything I would have at least in this decade, but I just couldn't leave it in the store. I will put up a picture soon (maybe for Table Top Tuesday next week) because it is pretty funny actually and yet I'm not sorry I bought it. <br /><br />It seems to me that you are very interested in the entry to a home from looking at the pictures!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-57072590369385199762011-06-29T14:43:44.622-07:002011-06-29T14:43:44.622-07:00SHERRY HART has left a new comment on your post &q...SHERRY HART has left a new comment on your post "What Do YOU Really Love?":<br /><br />Oh gosh...I love every one of those pictures...all of them have that edited look.....we have the same taste:) Need a bigger foyer....whaaaaaa <br /><br />Sorry Sherry I mistakenly deleted your comment, so I copied and pasted it from my email, Sorry!!

We like so many of the same rooms, I love something about each one, I think at heart they are all traditional but many of them have a small twist, the first is the black and the very oversized lantern, but it looks amazing and like you said, not a think I would change! Have yet to open Pinterest though I have been invited several times, I am afraid it will keep me in my house at my desk 24/7 if I do as I am already fighting an addiction to being in blogworld..all I need is one more thing!

I love every one of the pictures you selected, by the way!<br /><br />Another approach is to find pictures of rooms that don't appeal to you and list all the things that you don't like about them. That can help too :-)K&B by the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581765778332754970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-15482455526475629112011-06-29T12:54:54.490-07:002011-06-29T12:54:54.490-07:00I loved the black and white in these pictures too....I loved the black and white in these pictures too.Because we are house hunting I have been asking myself this same question to help me to narrow down the houses we are choosing from.Cool huh?

A few years back, I was totally into clean lines, completely uncluttered (almost sterile?) spaces. I wanted a modern loft in NYC. Now I want an old stone wall house in Provence! The older I get, I seem to appreciate more the beauty of older structures (like me!) I love your taste! Beautiful images.
