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.

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).

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.

Sweet and simple are the secret ingredients for successful summer entertaining outdoors. Easy recipes and resourceful styling ideas pair up to create relaxed gatherings and lasting memories. Mixing a homespun style with carefully gathered accents and a bucolic setting keep the feeling easy and natural. Add elements of refined rusticity, vintage chic, country flair, romantic touches, and stylish comfort for a one-of-a-kind look that is all about more fun than fuss!
