My style

Since we moved to Bristow, we have been covered up in boxes.  There really isn't much difference in the square footage of this house from our last one, we just don't have a garage with this one.  Garages = home for all of my junk, not car.

Slowly, I have unpacked, sorted, and put away.  I haven't decorated at all inside, I've only bought a few plants for outside.  I am DYING to decorate.

The problem... the color scheme my house is painted.

• The living room and my bedroom (which is visible clearly through the french doors off my living room) is an oatmeal cream color. 
• The south wall in my living room, the one that you first see when you walk in my door, is painted red.  It's a pretty red, a barn + rust, red.  
• The dining room and kitchen is blue.  It's a soft but bold blue.  The dining room is visible in the living room 
• The bathroom is a beautiful color blue.  It takes me right to the ocean, I'm in LOVE with that color. Here's the color:

• emileigh's room is Pink  it is decorated with Minnie Mouse-Dora-and Parisian 
• Blayne's room is bright blue-green -  we will be doing it in Angry Birds (i have no choice)

About 13 years ago, I was in love with the red/white/blue color scheme and deco.  I was into it before September 11th and before the main stream jumped on the patriotic bandwagon.  I enjoyed the search that was associated with finding just the right thing for my house.  It felt like a win when I found just the right thing.  That was before Kevin, and way before kids.  I guess I just burned myself out?  Don't get me wrong, June and July are major RWB months for me... but not year round.  A few years ago, I got rid of most of my decorations.  

Then, we move here.

So- while I love the colors, individually I'm not interested in decorating with them being the primary. My bedroom quilt is still a countryfried version of red, white, and blue, but that's going away... soon.

I've said all that, to say this.

I'm not an interior decorator, but I am an awesome pinterest(er).  

I'm not a decision maker, on anything. AT ALL 

I have to see something before I can understand the concept

I'm NOT made of money, not even pennies, so this must be done on the cheap.

I do not want cheap to mean trashy.

The next few posts will be filled with things tat make me smile, or what I think I want.  For my B-town readers, feel free to come over and see first hand... 

i need help, people!

If this wasn't distressed, I like it better I like the crosses, because I like the cross trend.

So- looking at this...what is my style???
