Cécile's {Style Test}

Cécile’s Style- Chic meets Scandinavian Modern

Feminine design became relaxed and comfortable in these spaces.   Color or no color, the rooms feel fresh and full of personality.  Fashion forwards the textures, textiles and lines.  Focus on beautiful furniture and rich textures.

Here is another Style Test coming at you from Leah.




Leah’s Style- Classic Comfy meets Vintage Modern at a European Hotel.

These spaces show no fear of mixing styles, eras and designs. There is room for all but not for the tacky. Color is as extreme as the textiles. Not ment for the light in heart but rather the bold.

{Style Test} Jennifer

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Its been awhile since I have posted a Style Test. This particular one is for a great friend of mine known as A Merry Mishap. I prefer calling her by her first name Jennifer or I even sometimes call her “prego”.
Its always hard doing these Tests for friends and especially for friends who have GREAT taste.
Hope you like Prego!!





Jennifer’s Style- A mix of Chic Nature with modern, mid century modern and Scandinavian modern.

These spaces reflect natural textiles and surfaces but not leaving chic out of the equation. The bones of these spaces are simple and serene filled with graphic textile, pops of soft and bold colors and personal accessories. Pieces are both sculptural and straight lined. A collision of modern styles that make for the perfect backdrop for a perfect day.

Paris, Madrid and New York City have met. Colors are vibrant, furniture is curvy and bold, textile is chic and lighting command attention. These spaces are well thought out but not overly done. Pieces look like they have been bought over time while textiles are young and fresh. Oohlala.

{Style Test} Julia

Its the return of the {Style Test} and I am liking Julia’s Style!




Julia’s Style- Earthy Glam with Traditional, Modern and Cottage touches.

Color is played with in this style and not afraid to be showcased. The bones of a room are earthy but the dressings of a room are glamorous and eclectic. Accessories are fun, whimsy and playful but have a specific role. Rooms are put together effortlessly.

Stacy knows that her style has changed over the years but didn’t quite know what her new style consisted of. Here is her {Style Test}.



Stacy’s Style- Eclectic mix of Vintage, French Country and Industrial with a splash of Cape Cod Contemporary.

Stacy likes personality in spaces but never compromises style. Vintage and contemporary style mesh well together. An assortment of textures and patterns are placed side by side giving these spaces warmth and creativity. Art is used as a way to show off hobby’s, family life and memories. Natural elements are a must!
