Personal Style

Style is a tricky thing, isn’t it? It is so easy to pinpoint things I like and to reject those I do not — and yet it is so hard for me to define my style in terms of what’s left. I thought I could start off the new year with a toast to personal style and a request from me to you, my darling readers, to help me define my style based on a few of my all-time favorite interiors.

This architecture…

Those windows…

These walls…

Those shelves…

And this, well, everything.

It’s a hefty favor to ask of you, no doubt, and personal style is, er, personal. But you see, I can come up with a handful of buzz words… and would love your help in figuring out the rest. What do you think? Is my aesthetic maximalist or minimalist? Colorful or neutral? Classic or modern? Traditional or trendy? Over-the-top or understated? Lived-in or luxurious? I so appreciate your help and look forward to sharing all the style that 2011 will surely bring!
