Interior Motives

I was recently tagged by my good friend Tyler of periwinklebloom to "share an interior that best represents me." I'm not sure these best represent me, but I found something appealing in all of them.

First, I loved Molly Sims' New York apartment from the moment I saw it in InStyle magazine:

The entire apartment is done in shades of gray ranging from platinum to dove gray to charcoal. I also love the "Cabinet of Curiosities" items she has throughout the apartment, like the huge bug print, above. The overall look is probably a little more glam than me (I don't have a single chandelier in my house), but still, I think it's beautiful.

I like the clean lines and dark colors in this serene bedroom:

My husband likes a more modern style than me and our home has the mix of old and new reflected here. (Suite in the Legado Mitico hotel in Buenos Aires from La Dolce Vita blog.)

I have always wanted built-in black bookshelves:

Regrettably, I don't remember where I got the above photo, but I think it originally came from Traditional Home magazine.)

Finally, what better represents me than rooms in my own home:

Corner of my dining room with Donald Bachelor print

Corner of my living room. "Roots" drawing by Chris Vodicka

Powder room vignette. White tea and ginger soap from The Bath Hour.

Main bath vignette. Bird prints from Pom Pom
