design philosophy

apartment therapy has an interesting year-end wrap-up on design philosophies. which got me thinking about my own. i believe eclectic comes to mind.  here, a sampling from my flickr faves:

1. Winterizing the kitchen - step one, 2. This morning, 3. sgaminegg, 4. woolly blankie...

1. Castle School, 2. a nice winterday, 3. Work in Progress, 4. KW berlin

1. printed muslin, 2. Come On In, 3. Propsapalooza9, 4. friday morning

1. recently..., 2. finding focus, 3. hot pink house, 4. Pufe Abóbora. Como faz pra ficar com "gominhos"?

and stuff i've actually done myself, in our home, which may be the best indicator:

the old kitchen

1. kitchen - finished, 2. kitchen - finished, 3. kitchen/family room, 4. kitchen

1. tom rossau lamp, 2. from where i sit, 3. upstairs living room, 4. dining room

my beloved blue room

1. new wood-burning stove, 2. studio shots, 3. studio shots, 4. studio shots

eclectic, wouldn't you say? other words that come to mind - colorful, laid-back, turquoise, red, retro, comfortable, vintage. and not really at odds with the inspiration from flickr. i think i've found my style, i'm not sure it has a name, but at least i know what i like.
