I have a great affection for small homes and have been very lucky to be able to style hundreds of them over the years with Mark Lohman who has also photographed all my books. It always amazes me to see how resourceful and talented homeowners are. They take an ordinary house and turn it into a delightful and personal home. Case in point, Darielle Tennenbaum’s darling cottage in northern California.
If you don’t already know about CHIC & COUNTRY a beautiful digital UK magazine you owe it to yourself to go to their website (https://www.chicandcountry.com) to discover the many fabulous home stories featuring the styles you love (French Country, Romantic, Nordic, Shabby, and more) but also beautiful gardens, food and flowers.
Whether you are thinking of styling a whole room, a cozy corner, a reading nook or just a vignette it’s more about options than rules. It’s about creating spaces that reflect your personality and the things you love. It’s also, of course, about beauty and practicality. Don’t let rules get in the way. Just do what makes you feel good. That’s what Creative Styling is.
In this post I have included a wide number of styles and ideas because the possibilities are infinite. I hope you will see something that will inspire you to create a spot that you can call yours and in which you will find peace and comfort (2 qualities much need in today’s chaotic world).
HAPPY NESTING! XOXO
I know many of you have a fondness for French style (not just French Country) and a penchant for romantic elements.
Fortunately, French and romantic styles are made for each other. And both often meet in a variety of ways––from pristine to rustic, traditional, elegant, vintage, salvage, primitive, and more. But when it comes to the ‘romance’ part of the equation a little frill goes a long way! Think “ruffles with restraint.”
