Our house in Hadley was decorated in cottagy, beachy, white and medium woods with a lot of pictures of egrets and sand hill cranes and bowls filled with shells and such..and we loved it.
Sold it furnished and brought with us the furniture from up north which is darker and more...formal...This new house loves that furniture.
I have been to many homes and it is amazing how the choices that you see there, look just perfect.
If you discover that you are a whimsical person in this stage of your life than do the Mary Englebriet look, and if you want nautical...sail right into it...but I debated and debated and in the end was glad our "Ahia" furniture made the trip with us. It looks new here and of course you have to have some new stuff, some curtains and change of wall colors and it looks like the furniture is different. Decorate to your own taste and to your own budget and it will be NEW to all of us who are here and we will have admiring eyes.
Welcome home to YOUR home.
