I wish we had a decorating thread.
I love to talk about it and hear and see what others have done. My house is in the albums above and it is finished...........NOW we are thinking to buy another one with a little larger bedroom for Helene when we move down permanently and sell the one we have, decorated. We were able to decorate it all in a beachy, cottagy feel, and we love it, but now I am faced with bringing down our couch and love seat, in deep eggplant velvet and all of its friends, kinda formal furniture, and making it into a Florida feel, without being kitchy or....too dressy etc. I can't just throw it away!
I have found some Braemor fabric called Rosalinda blue sky and it is tropical with some eggplant in it. I am thinking to have a wooden arm chair recovered and use that fabric and some other solids with lime and light teal for headers and pillows.
This is going to be a tough decorating challenge. Have any of you used your traditional furniture and made it fit Florida?
