This is Part II in my series of how to determine YOUR style.
If you didn’t read part I, you want want to go there first. How to determine your style Part I.
In Part I we discussed why you need to know what your style is. Today we are continuing to look at different styles.
Here are a few more bloggers and what they call their style.

Great photos. I am going to use the “Morpholio Board” on my iPad to creat my mood board. Then, I will tie it in with some real photos from my home. Thanks for this series.

What do you do when your style is significantly different from your significant other’s (in this case, my husband)? My husband loves everything Arts & Crafts (all our furniture is Stickley and is not going anywhere). Darker wood, wood everywhere…I joke that he could comfortably live in a dark cave. I lean more toward beachy cottage/farmhouse…light and bright. Our house is currently a Craftsman and I have decorated it mostly in my husband’s style but I’d like to bring more of my style into the mix and I’m stuck. I don’t know how to mix the two.

Lora, that is a bit more sticky. I think you need to negotiate a lot. Did you ever see “Designing for the sexes on HGTV? There was a guy who specialized in just that.

I love this topic. I’ve been pinning to Pintrest for some time. One interesting thing i find is that i love French style, love rooms that are mostly neutral, and yet i decorate with lots of blues. Not sure how to get these two loves to meet.

Anita,
Great tips and advice!!!
I adore the bloggers homes you’ve chosen, dear friend!!!
One of the main things that helped me to realize my Traditional Design style
was my stack of resourcing magazines and coffee table publications!!!
To this day, I still enjoy flipping carefully through the pages of back issues!!!
I’ve put your “book” on my “Wish List”!!!
Hope “Santa” thinks I’ve been a “good girl” this year!!! (wink!)
Fondly,
Pat
