That's why people need us! Sometimes a place can become so familiar to people that they have trouble seeing it with fresh eyes. Especially when you have a home that has been a constant source of frustration, it can be hard to pull yourself out of a design rut. And you're right Kelle, so many people out there don't really know what their style is or what kind of image they portray to everybody else. It's our job to gather information and uncover clues to who they are, how they want to live, and what they want to say to the world. It's not always easy for people to do that on their own. <br /><br />AliciaLittleBlackHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993153598489934372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895967071478233767.post-86765271914701851512011-03-04T16:57:38.674-06:002011-03-04T16:57:38.674-06:00I think you hit Miss Zsa Zsa right on the head! I ...I think you hit Miss Zsa Zsa right on the head! I completely agree and try to do the same with all of my clients. It's the most fun part! I especially love when people are surprised by what their outward appearance tells others about their style. It's funny how we can't always "see" ourselves.<br />Fun post!<br />Kelle<br />xxKelle Damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145503884895343829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895967071478233767.post-18110281952275119582011-03-04T08:09:44.047-06:002011-03-04T08:09:44.047-06:00I was the same way, Kyrstan.

I use to not like modern, before I really started understanding design, and as I began to search for my individual interior style, I realized I was drawn to modern style. I actually prefer to have my spaces done mostly in modern with a few antiques and odd-ball items thrown in. I have found these two things to be true in design: 1) layering styles and periods has a very charming effect on a space and creates instant personality 2) whatever you have most of in a room (i.e. modern pieces) is what sets the tone...that is how your room will "read". So I like modern to be my rooms' melody, you might say, and the few other styles to be the harmony which gives it more of a "full-body sound", or "look" in the case of interiors . It keeps the overall appearance of a space clean, simple, and fuss-free.LittleBlackHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993153598489934372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895967071478233767.post-50362528304196725862011-03-02T16:25:04.344-06:002011-03-02T16:25:04.344-06:00So modern and perfect!
