Graham and Green has pretty door knobs and starlet interiors filled with gorgeous items. I love when a space can be comfortable, functional and incorporate different style elements from vintage to modern. On the contrary when someone asks me, "what's your personal style?" I get that deer caught in headlights look. I feel like my style continuously changes and evolves, heck it changes weekly on Please Sir! Normally I blurt out "oh, eclectic" and then cringe because I used the word "eclectic" again...yikes. I try to keep those over-used design words to a minimum, but in times of stress they sort of come out...like an old stutter or bad curse word. Next time I'm going to answer with evolving...my style is evolving...can evolving be a style? Or maybe I'll be passive aggressive and say there are bigger things in this world than defining my style. How emo of me....it must be a Monday!

Evolving totally works. Don't let anyone force you to nail down your style with uncomfortable adjectives! Additionally, I'm considering selling a kidney so I can afford that pink chaise.
Haha - hmmm - organ selling style works too!
love the shots of pink!
'Evolving' is a great catch-all word! I'm also a fan of making long, complicated compound words like the Germans do so well...right now I would describe my style as Glamodernorganic :)
Love that top picture, and the lamp on the lucite coffee table is hawt!
I hope "evolving" is a style, because it's my style, too. I also like "Glamodernorganic."
loeve this photopgraphs!
Love the little flower vases in the second photo. These rooms all have elements that are really me.
just adding a single color in a neutral environment is quite a punch! good punch!! if there's such a thing... ;)
POW!
Evolving is a good thing! Can't wait for the shop girlie :)
PS- it's a really good show...
love lucite. love, love, love it.
Evolving sounds great..., up until now I have to admit, I'd blurt out eclectic too.
Diana, these are gorgeous! I love that first collection, so rad. And those vases are sweet, they remind me of something I already have and love "Candela" by vessle, they are rechargeable lamps which share a similar design. I love my candela and I love those vases.
I did do a blog post on them...

Can't wait to see what other beauty you find to show us this week.
Warm regards.
Whatever you call it, it's still a beautiful and welcome surprise when I see new things on your blog!
xoh
(note to self: MUST limit use of the word faboo on my blog.)
i love these photos! the red chair is my favorite!
I love the turquoise and purple together. I want to live here!!!
Oooh, I'm the same way. You should really read Style Statement--- it will change your life! :)
I just love the beautiful photos!
I will not answer any difficult question today!!
Adore G&G, indeed... they are so smart in their designs.
Love to stay there forever §:-))
I am positive that my style evolves every other week...it's so distracting. I have an old neighbor whose house has not changed AT ALL in 35 years. Everything is the same. And honestly, I envy that. :-) It would cost much less to be so entirely satisfied!
Lovely bed!
evolving is most definitely a style! and i think it's a very good one, because it means you're constantly searching for new things that inspire you.
Love the white pallet with splashes of bright color and the cool flower vase!
My taste and style is ever evolving, too. However my checkbook hasn't been able, so far, to support my evolution of style, taste and preference... one can only hope for a better decorated tomorrow!
evolving eclecticism? hmmm...the best thing about your taste and style is that they're YOUR taste and style--wonderful because they're from your heart! (and anything can be changed with new pillows)
(oops... or knobs!!!)
love the flowers.
Amazing style and looks!
These photos are some serious wow. I was scrolling thru trying to choose a favorite, but each one is better than the last. "Serious wow" is my personal style. ;)
may i have the pink chaise, please?
those lab vases are SO cute
ahh, yes—evolving. that works.
(at least for now, until that word becomes the new "eclectic" right?)
that fuchsia arm chair is WOW!
I love the jolts of color against the stark white.
I think the best styles are the ones without a name, the ones where the unifying factor is an individual personality, and you definitely have that in spades :)
Funny you should mention the word "eclectic" because I just posted about my "eclectic cottage" style today! I don't know how else to describe it though. I suppose it's sort of like "miscellaneous"? A catch-all category for everything that can't be defined or labeled. Kinda is a good thing, eh? :)
LOVE the pink chair!
I want every single one of those rooms. I'm in love with jewel toned accents.
I heart that chaise lounge.
I love these pictures with their accents of colour,especially the teal bedspread
: )
WOW!
I love the eclectic style here - I particularly love the way the splashes of bright colours (red, fuschia, teal) just bring the "look" together..:)
O-So-Pretty! I haven't decorated our house yet because I'm worried that if I commit to a style, I will want to change it straight away.
I was really drawn to that white globe in the 4th photo. It looks so sweet on the white floor with the white wall behind it.
Another great post evolving eclectic emo :)
The white flower bud vases are fantastic. (I find I use a lot of the same words, too.
I've tagged you so check out my blog...it isn't a long one so have fun.
It is hard to describe style. I would say mine is traditional with some modern thrown in or modern with some traditional thrown in.....which basically means eclectic. I have always been told you can't be blind and live at my house....I move everything around too much!
I am the same way -- my style seems to change way too often but there is always a common thread of white and soft grey. Beautiful images, Diana.
That teal bedspread is amazing!
White +....! It always works! Lovely stuff!
That chaise lounge is so dreamy!
Adore Graham and Green, and love the way the vintage painting looks against the mirrored desk in the top image.
Absolutely perfect! I love everything.
Let's face it we all have too much stuff to have clean spaces like this.. or is it just me? I'd kill to have dresser with that lack of clutter!
Wow - really beautiful rooms! I love those door knobs in the previous post too - I would love to be able to replace all of ours with something like those. Maybe just one at a time and it would be possible.
