I like comfy and clean. Definitely like old, but not stuffy or ornate.
My decorating style is “coastal”. We don’t live by the coast, but we love that open, bright, natural look anyway!
My decorating style is simple, and family-oriented. Bright colors on the walls, neutral colors for everything else.
I would LOVE a wall print of my dogs! It’s so hard to find accessories for a merle-colored Great Dane.
Allison (Dog Mom)´s last blog post…Snowy Sunday
My decorating style is somewhere between Ikea and Craftsman (the architectural style, not the brand of tools from Sears.) I yearn for a home that looks like it came from the pages of a Pottery Barn catalog, but that’s simply not possible with a toddler in the house and a limited budget.
Elaine´s last blog post…That’s why they call it a long weekend
I’d have to go w/ fairly classic w/ a few splashes of vintage.
Our stuff is mostly second hand. Friends, craigslist, garage sales…I’ve refinished several things.
My decorating is fairly eclectic. I like vintage pieces, but a very simple organization — everything in it’s place, but still accessorized & not too sterile. Function & beauty, hand in hand.
What a fabulous giveaway! I can’t wait to see who wins ^_^
Desiree Fawn´s last blog post…in case you were wondering.
I try to use whatever we have on hand to add some interest to the room… for example, the autographed baseballs we’ve collected over the years are in a wooden bowl in the living room.
I love dark woods and greenish blue colors. I like comfy elegant.
Traditional. I like things that have memories associated with them.
simple, inexpensive or free and comfortable! Actually, I don’t really know what “style” I fit into, but I do know that the poster would fit into my style or at least the style of my son’s room
I am not sure of my style my home is mostly hand-me downs but at the same time they are great pieces that have been in my family for many many years. I do like a variety of syles.
Traditional Southern
My decorating style is just simple, homey, no style at all really.
Heather´s last blog post…Questions
My decorating style is very traditional around the house, with a dose of playful realism for the kids’ rooms. In my daughter’s jungle themed room, she has vines wrapped in white LED lights (Christmas lights) and monkeys hanging from the walls.
My style is casual and traditional. I try to throw in a little whimsy! I already subscribe. Thanks for the great giveaways!
sylviarj@yahoo.com
I like rustic stuff, cabin-ishy. hehe I dont think that’s a word.
Kori´s last blog post…Valentines Day Hairdos !!
My house is a wanna be Mediterranean style. I try, but can’t seem to achieve the look. I guess the lack of money and style smarts hold me back a little. What I have is mostly easy to clean, simple leather, woods and iron.
I guess my decorating style is traditional, kind of southern living with grandmas antiques.
Christy@pipandsqueak´s last blog post…This will make you smile
My decorating style at the moment is whatever my 3 little boys don’t break! I love shabby chic and would decorate that style if I had the chance.
April Davis´s last blog post…I love his smile!
My decorating style consists of hand-me-down furniture and family photos on the wall
My style is definitely eclectic!
My home does not reflect much of a style, but I truly love the colors of nature-I love green–different shades–and rich colored cherry wood.
mama koala´s last blog post…Frugal Friday, Organic Milk
I feel like I am trying to figure out my decorating style, however I lean towards very Classic. Lots of neutral colors with flashes of colors.
We have a different style in each room. The living room is more traditional, our bedroom is modern and my son’s room has a jungle theme to it. I love that each room is totally different,so we are able to enter a new territory at every door.
Amiyrah´s last blog post…Blogiversary gift card winners!
I wish my style was classic craftsman with dark woods and simple lines. In reality it is “mix n’ match” – family hand-me-downs meets slouchy comfort meets frantic runs through Ikea.
Alissa´s last blog post…Check-up
My style is a morph of traditional and Tuscan inspired. I love deep, rich color, leather, tapestry fabrics, natural wood and dark bronze iron. ThanX for the entry!
diXymiss´s last blog post…Caption This!
A complete mess. But in my fantasy world everything in it’s place, with pottery barn furniture and primitive accessories.
My decorating style is modern, but not necessarily contemporary. I like clean lines, simple designs… neutrals with a pop of color. I love art on the walls with a mix of family portraits in black and white. Green plants and decorative bowls kept up high enough that little hands can’t reach. And of course everything has to be washable (toddler drool, eww). One thing I can say is it has to be good quality with a low price tag. I’m a big fan of buying on sale and will only buy if I can see a purpose for it or know exactly where it would go in my house. I definitely try to have a vision of the room before I go shopping for anything to put in it. Then I just add on from there!
April´s last blog post…Candid Camera
Post contemporary garage sale with a splash of Ikea and an accent of orange.
Robin´s last blog post…Links for 2009-01-26 [del.icio.us]
I don’t know that I really have a decorating style. I like simple lines and crisp colors, but that doesn’t really match my mismatched items right now.
I like local artsy stuff… especially with unusual mediums. For furniture, I am more of a traditionalist. However, most of our stuff is hand me down. One day…..
My style (which is not fully represented in my home, sadly) is contemporary but rooted in classic forms, colors, textures, etc. not contemporary like an Apple store. I like colors inspired by nature and the walls were first on my list when we purchased our first home in 2007. Our living room is terra cotta with an off-white highlighting some architectural elements, our kitchen is a yellowish sage green. My next mission is to paint the ceiling in our living room!
Nichelle´s last blog post…12 Tips for Teaching Tots
I don’t like anything too flashy. I like neutral colors but do like a splash of color here and there. I’d say I like classic things best.
I love this givewaway!
Jodi´s last blog post…Movie Madness Monday
I guess you would call it ecclectic.
I tweeted.

My style is rustic and earthy….natural wood and neutral tones.
Julie´s last blog post…What’s Your Frugal Factor?
I love this artwork. Much of the “artwork” in my home are enlargements of photos I have taken. My decorating style is really no style at all! With 2 dogs, 4 cats and an almost 12 year old, my house is all about function and not so much about STYLE!
Martha´s last blog post…Manic Monday
After living overseas a few years, I’ve collected some fun things from Asia and my parents have shared some from their African travels, so each room seems to have a different country theme-China/Kenya/India, etc. Not sure anyone would notice except me!
Nicole´s last blog post…Everyday…Redeemed
Our decorating style is simple with a PB twist (though we’ve never bought a thing from there!) We try to keep the place looking orderly and clutter free.
Our decorating style is comfortable and semi-organized. We seem to have acquired a lot of stuff from family members like pictures and what we consider heirlooms. It is not anything a decorator would probably recommend, but for the most part it is clean and lived in and comfortable with things that make us happy.
Chi Anne McGrew´s last blog post…New Sites of Interest
VERY cool giveaway. I love the superman pic!
My decorating style? I would have to call it “flea market finds meets Ikea design”
that’s so cool! My style? Contemporary but not too modern. With a little traditional thrown in.
Tabitha (From Single to Married)´s last blog post…A Vision of Light – Leo Villareal
I have such an eclectic style of design.
I can read a magazine with one style and find many things I like, then search for other ideas that are totally different and find something I like there too.
I’m pretty eclectic in what I like but my house resembles more of a functional/classic look.
Becky´s last blog post…Am I an "older" parent???
I wish I had a decorating style. I am always in awe of people who can decorate. I like to hang pictures on the wall and I like earth tones, greens, browns, and purples, but other than that, I have no clue!
Tracie´s last blog post…I Heart Faces Kid Submission – Joy
Is “second-hand” or “hand-me-downs” a decorating style? Currently we’ve mixed and matched extended family’s things with ours… nothing on the walls, not much color. I’d LOVE the get our girls’ room really girly and our boys’ room really boyish. Other than that… anything goes here!
My decorating style is pretty casual with lots of blues, whites, taupes…but it is definitely still in progress, as most of our walls are bare and the room I’m sitting in is only half-painted.
Messy modern? cluttery contemporary? If one of those is a real decorating style, then that’s mine.
Leigh´s last blog post…My New Thing: Letting Go of Guilt
My style is classic, clean lines.
I love the picture and painting of the dogs in the post. I also have a dachshund with the same coloring as the one pictured (called a chocolate and tan dapple).
My decorating style would have to be contemporary. Based on budget limitations, a very casual contemporary. I love pops of bright color.
My decorating style is country farmhouse with an eclectic twist. I am just beginning to love decorating after years of having no clue what I even liked.
Great giveaway! I hope I win, too!
~julie
My decorating style is whatever we can afford on a Seminary budget, lol
We’ve done well with craigslist and friends getting rid of ‘old’ furniture (ie: an IKEA chair w/ a white cover she didn’t feel like washing…um, yes, we’ll take, thank you! lol)
thanks for a fun giveaway!
My decorating style is contemporary Mexican and mission style. I love bright colors and cool mexican folk art.
Our style is kind of simple Pottery Barn. Dark wood furniture and rich colors. Very relaxed and warm and comfy!
Shabby chic? More on the shabby, less on the chic?
My WORD this is a cool giveaway. My decorating style was once referred to as “Urban Gypsy.” I think it’s morphed to become a little bit more traditional, but I try and stay funky.
Rachel Fix´s last blog post…NYR #2, Dining Room Chairs Part One
My decorating style is colorful and simple…and I would like it to include clean but I am working on that part!
Grandma’s house meets fraternity house. At least that is what it feels like right now. This house could really use something new, and what would be better than art??
Nikki´s last blog post…Phant + Doggie = Love
My style is Pottery Barn garage sale. There is a lot out there for cheap!
I buy a few nice new things and pick up the rest for pennies.
My decorating is definately eclectic. Whatever fits the budget so it’s mostly hand-me-down furniture from others and thrift store and garage sale finds.
Jody´s last blog post…Building a Table
My decorating style depends on the room you’re in. The kids’ rooms follow my addiction to Pottery Barn Kids (although most of the stuff was inspired by PBK but purchased elsewhere for less). Game room is “old furniture, plastic boxes of toys, and various bins and bookcases” style. Master bedroom is on the rustic side. And the rest of the house is still in question since we moved recently and I’m trying to figure out what to do with those rooms.
My style is Pottery Barn with a mix of modern fabrics such as Amy Butler.
I decorate by this motto:
Simple. Clean. Warm. Fun.
Janine´s last blog post…For my Sister on her Birthday
Decorating style consists of hand me downs, earth tones, modern and antique feels. Seems really out there but somehow it all meshes…just need to add some new items to make it complete…all in due time.
alva´s last blog post…MERRY MONDAYS
My decorating style is crazy. In my mind it changes all of the time, but in reality, it is pretty casual and simple. At the moment I really love the idea of less stuff and a few simple things that we really appreciate.
My decorating style is English Country.
Comfortable, earthy soothing tones with soft, clean lines. I am trying to declutter everything in my life! Not sure all that goes together but I don’t know how to better explain it!
Hmm.. I’m not sure there’s a name for my decorating style. I think it’s a mix of classic, contemporary, functional and a little bit whimsical. My tastes seem to change from year to year.
I would say that my decorating style is classic with a touch of modern. I like clean lines, but rich colors and patterns.
Missy´s last blog post…Prayer Request
We have a very eclectic home, but only because that’s what our budget has allowed over the years. One day, Ihope to slowly mold that into an intentionally eclectic style with certain mission style items throughout the home.
I would say my decorating style is modern, cozy and eclectic. I love my house, and more importantly I love for people to feel immediately comfortable in it, and I think it shows in my design choices.
christy´s last blog post…Fiona loves oatmeal!
My decorating style is simple and classic. We have a lot of traditional furniture.
Mrs. Sprinkles´s last blog post…Kids in Church
My decorating style is contemporary eclectic. I have stuff from Art Deco to Duncan Pfyfe to roll arm couches. I have pillars and shaker rockers. I just get things I like and they all seem to work together.
Rae Ann´s last blog post…PhotoShop Geek Out
We’ve decided its Rustic Minimalist. Mostly wood furniture, but only what is needed or valuable (to us).
My decorating style is pretty eclectic. I love antiques, especially family heirlooms, but I like to throw in a few new pieces here & there.
My decorating style is the “I don’t have time, money, or know-how to decorate properly” style. I hope to rectify this when I get the kids off to preschool in the fall and work more on my home organization skills.
I like classic, cheerful pieces, jewel tones, casual and unique items. I like warm wood tones. And I have a special place in my heart for older things with stories, esp if they’ve come from my family (like an old quilt, a kitschy butter dish shaped like a cow, or black and white photos of my parents or grandparents as children).
Jen G´s last blog post…Yes, I’m finally posting again!
umm… comfortable? Easy to maintain?
My decorating style is comfortable mid century modern with a dash of “I have a really active 3 yr old~!”
I’d say my decorating style is simple and somewhere between traditional and modern. And it has to be comfortable and kid proof!
Cynthia´s last blog post…TWD: Fresh Ginger and Chocolate Gingerbread Cake
My decorating style is classic with a focus on comfort. I agree with everyone else that is has to be kid friendly too!
My decorating style is simple and clean. Classic pieces that have clean lines and are kid friendly. I like order and a place for everything so my furniture pieces reflect this.
My decorating style is a mix of traditional and Asian!
My decorating style is yard sale, classic, and childproof. If a piece matches all those requirements, it;s probably in my house somewhere. I love brightly colored stuff too.
Courtney@BooksNBoys´s last blog post…Play dough
My decorating style is if I really like something and I think it will look nice in my home I will get it. I keep adding items until I feel the room is complete. So it would have to be a personal style.
My style is minimalist practical meets bohemian artist. Hard to describe? you bet! I love decorating with WHITE, peach, pale green, and accents of black. Anthropologie is a big influence, but I also love the clean simplicity of Japanese decorating.
Moonbeam´s last blog post…Handmade Goodies
I would have to say that my decorating style tends to be eclectic. I have a love for so many things from country to modern that my home is filled with such a variety. I tie it all together with color.
Stephanie Donaghe´s last blog post…Moving Again…
My decorating style is thrift. I love to decorate using thrifted or repurposed itmes. My favorite coffee table is a barrel from Alaska that has a piece of round glass on top.
BreannaS´s last blog post…Kiddio Giveaway
My style is to find affordable items from Craigslist and to do the best I can with I have.
My decorating style is a mix of modern and traditional pieces. I don’t know if there’s a word for it – maybe eclectic?
My style is anything that is “2 under 2 friendly.” This means sage green couches that come clean with a damp cloth, an indoor/outdoor table cloth that is virtually stain proof, and LOTS of pictures of daddy at eye level so his girls will recognize him when he comes home from Iraq.
I have a very laid back decorating style. I have a 2 year old so nothing can be too fancy, but I love anything modern and would love to do this more in the future!!
I would say my decorating style is casual, very kid friendly.
If “cozy” is a style, I hope that would be said of mine.
melanie´s last blog post…Extra Mystery Person for 6th Graders
My decorating style is a hybrid of many styles- kind of a relaxed and soft edged contemporary.
My decorating style has evolved from “classic hand-me-down” (AKA Vintage Mom) to what I would consider comfortable elegance. Still child friendly, but also attractive to adults.
Michelle G´s last blog post…Happy Birthday, Luke
I’m a total shabby chic girl – I love to antique shop but am really still finding my own personal style. I tend to love things off the beaten path…
My decorating style is “Shabby Chic” with the emphasis on shabby! But it’s comfortable and easy to live with (and on and around…)
my style is “family modern”…nice and clean and as sleek as possible while still accommodating real life.
My decorating style is currently in an evolutionary stage as I am trying to figure out how to mix 2 completely divergent styles. My style leans towards electic, country, antique with a healthy respect for the functionality of modernism. My husband’s style however is modern, how all his friends are decorating their homes with furniture that you just go out to the store and buy.
I am very fortunate to own some beautiful antique pieces but ultimately I want them to blend with some modern, functional items to keep the peace in our newlywed household.
Unfortunately this doesn’t sound simple at all.
My decorating style is “pottery barn”ish.
