Decorating Jekyll & Hyde

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a decorating Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.

My decorating personality is split. I love lots of color...

From Vintage Indie

from BHG


from Coastal Living


from Country Living


but then again, I also love the soft cottage colors & whites...

Weird huh? It certainly makes decorating a challenge. Two different worlds under one roof.

    Gina, maybe the answer is to do every room different! I am a white and pink, white and pink, oh and maybe a speck of green....boring!!

    Hi Gina,
    Just stopping by to say hi and see how you are doing. Since I don't blog anymore, I'm not in the loop anymore of what's going on. Hope you are well and excited for spring like I am.

    So glad you've said this.... its EXACTLY what I'm like, too -- sigh! I love it all! I've found the easiest way to use brighter colors is in smaller spaces (the powder room) or less used rooms (guest bedroom...)

    Love the first photo but afraid I wouldn't do it, I guess I'm more drawn to the last two pictures more, love them all!

    I am the same way! I always say if I were to totally redecorate I would go totally mod...which is completely opposite of the hodge podgey cottagy look I've got going on now. Strangely I love both styles though. Weird.
    LOVE all of the inspo rooms you shared.
