Whosh! that's pretty much how this last month can be described. It seems as if this last month was like a blur, and I'm looking forward to taking August slowly and really start to tackle clearing out our cluttered basement.
Oh, but the main reason for this post is to talk about a new series by Apartment Therapy called The Style Cure 2013. I just love their home organizing series. In January I participated in the January Cure 2013 and I really enjoyed getting some help with focusing my thoughts & completing some much needed projects.
The Living Room
This is the space everyone sees when they first walk into my home, and it's a bit everywhere considering I have 2 wall colors, pictures leaning against the sofa waiting to be mounted and some miscellaneous furniture pieces that have been posted for sale.
Questions: 1 & 2 Form a picture of your style
My style is definitely relaxed classic style that is simple with a touch of vintage.
Questions: 3 & 5 What you find pleasing, comfortable & beautiful
I find something that says "me" in the space and that I find brings people together. I loved having dinner parties in my 1-bedroom apartment in South Denver where I had a table that seated 8-10 people where we could celebrate each other and share a space together that was simple and put together. This was also my most well designed apartment, because I only had what I needed with a simple decor items on the wall and nothing more.
Questions: 4 & 6 Aspirations, form direction and goals
I don't really have one person that i admire, but I tend to look up to people who are strong-independent, who think outside of themselves , and are well-traveled, because it really helps to grow them and they're not afraid to explore and find out that there may be some place better then what they are used to. My main admiration are those who simply enjoy what they have and are content owning very little and don't overspend. It's a place that I've been working towards these last few years. It's been harder since my mom moved in with me, because she owns enough for 3 families.
I know I want my home to be full of light, but it's difficulty living downtown so we keep the curtains closed most of the time, and there are few windows being that I'm the middle town home. Natural light is a commodity that I hope to figure out how to utilize what I have to create this feel. I also want to eliminate the access clutter of items that are not being used or really don't work well for it's given purpose. Mainly, I hope to determine a wall color so I can eliminate the bland pb color I've had on the walls since moving in.
My living room is a bit different currently, but this is the overall feel and pieces that I have in the space.
