Does your powder room vanity match your kitchen cabs?
Comments (13)Thank you all for your suggestions and pictures. billl - good point about the dust collecting strips - I agree either against the wall or room for cleaning between. enduring - thanks for the link, although I think my architects violated most of the suggestions - they seem to be more form over function - but it's only the powder room - our bathrooms were designed and built in 1939 - so of course they violate most of the suggestions too. Good luck with your reno pricklypearcactus - I'm meeting with the GC and finish carpenter to discuss a built-in. I was thinking if it had 3 drawers and feet instead of the standard cabinet doors, it would look more like furniture even if it is built in. In the case that I go with RH - how do you like the quality? kfhl - thank you so much for pointing out the baseboard issue. I completely forgot that. mydreamhome - it's a renovation, but we're bumping into what was our original attached garage. Unfortunately the plumbing is already installed. But, give that the door hinge is on the opposite side of your hinge, I think you'll never see in the room from the entry - only from the mud room. nini - lovely vanity and I absolutely love the black granite w/white bowl look - but it would end up being the fanciest piece of furniture in our entire house :) Does the black granite show a lot of waterspots?...See MoreDoes Your Decor Match Your Personality?
Comments (34)What a delightful thread! I've enjoyed reading everyone's answers. I love my cottagey picket fence headboard. With my Belgian tapestry pillows And the matching shelf... plus the small drawing a friend did of my much loved mare. My porch swings, especially my purple one My large curio cabinet filled with treasures from our travels. (no photo) The stained glass pieces hanging in the windows. We did the small ones, not the glass panel in the door...someday. Dh and I took up stained glass this year as a joint hobby. It's been fun! We have photographic portraits that we love, plus all the BOOKS. My five descriptive words... Creative Friendly Outdoorsy Bookworm Determined. (my daddy called me bull-headed, but I prefer determined. GRIN) This was fun! Thanks for starting the thread.

Comments (28)Wow this is interesting. I feel like the answers are all over the place. That makes it fun. : ) Thanks for doing a comparison of your wardrobe and decor, everyone! In terms of style, I think my decorating is pretty close to what I wear: comfortable and dressy casual. I love wearing long, flowy, ultra-comfy skirts. No heels for me. The last pair I wore (almost wrote war, and nearly left it...) was nearly 20 years ago when my mom insisted I wear them with my wedding dress. No more! LOL (I dearly love my mom, but if I'd have had my way, I would have worn some cute little sneakers!) I also like some feminine touches in my decorating: florals, battenberg lace trim on curtains, eyelet, anything to give a soft, pretty touch without it being overkill. But, I also like plaids and will use those occasionally, too. I enjoy quilts, and see them as artwork as much as blankets. I have enjoyed hanging a variety of quilts on display, and I've flopped them over the backs of couches through the years because they are so much fun to look at. Color is where it gets trickier. I have many deep toned colors in my closet. Deep purple, rich turquoise, wine red, russet and chocolate browns, a few khakis, navy, black, and very.little.white (it makes me look ill.) I have red hair, and try to pick items that work well with it. I also love wearing pale aqua, and almost any shade of green, (well...except Kermit the frog green--it makes me look like I'm about to...croak. Seriously.) When I was making artwork, pre-kiddos, I also loved working with deep jewel tones. They were vibrant and delicious! I'm not sure how I'd feel living in walls covered in those vibrant colors though. I wish there were a paint display house, where I could go and sit in different colored rooms and just "feel" the colors for a while. That would be wonderful. Or they could be distracting, since I'd be staring and evaluating the whole time. I guess it's good that we don't dress exactly like our surroundings, or we'd blend in too much, just like some of our pets....See Morejakabedy
