I miss white...

After a little more than a year of collecting vintage pieces from flea markets, estate sales, etc., and using them in my home decor, I had hoped that a specific style would emerge; perhaps a Miss Mustard Seed meets Katies Rose Cottage. Nope. I'm having trouble settling down & landing anywhere!













Recently, I added several beautiful pieces from a wonderful estate sale. I love every piece...




But a funny thing happened. I was was looking at some photos I submitted for a contest at the beginning of the year, and I was surprised to discover...I MISS WHITE!!






I never would have thought it! I honestly believed I was moving away from my monochromatic first love...expanding from the philosophy of "if it doesn't move, paint it white". It seems I am mistaken, and perhaps I have more of a preferred style than I knew. It's a bit of a relief, actually!

So...what to do?? Some of the white furniture has been sold, and I love the new estate sale pieces...I see white paint in their future!! Until then...




...accessorize!!

Has your style evolved, or remained constant?
