I am fascinated with how people make their homes their own. I get a magazine called Florida Style (I think that is the name of it) and it has mostly South Florida homes of grandeur on the water and condos on the water and most of it is very linear and very shiny and very minimal and very white and very full of emphatic color punches and very, VERY expensive furniture and is generally quite different from the style that I think is representative of central and northern Florida. (These are just my impressions, I am not an expert, just a homemaker)


Now I am not saying there are hard set rules, there is just sort of an atmosphere here that has sort of a softness, many use white furniture mixed with dark as Bonanza says, eclectic. I am not a decorator, I have always just been fascinated with interior design and know that even traditional is quite fluid. In our first home here we decorated with a beachy touch and in our second home we brought our old stuff. Both felt right.


PLEASE show us pictures of your home. I wish we had a decorator forum. I made most of my drapes using very inexpensive fabric from fabric.com. Most fabric I paid about seven dollars a yard . I love to see what choices people have made to make our very similar homes look like their own. I wish MaryBB would post hers. It is my favorite interior here in TV. 2BNTV has a smart, stylish and beautifully decorated home and his choices are terrific too.I have enjoyed seeing the interiors of many warm and beautiful homes. Please share.
