Elegant Eclectica



I love these elegant, eclectic images! In the summer I like decor that is sleek and clean, but in the winter, cozy and cluttered is what it's all about!  Also, I have to thank Rebecca at Acanthus & Acorn and Anna at Lona de Anna for the fabulous blog awards!

  1. Very, very wonderful Shari! Our new rooms are almost ready, and there is a point at which the EMPTY space appeals to me. I am almost AFRAID to fill up the room for fear that the FREE AND OPEN space will be gobbled up, but as I look at all the photos your provide, they do show that a filled up room is a loved, lived -in room!!!! MERCI! Anita

  9. I love these interior scenes. Thanks for sharing. I always love to see table settings -- they say so much about those who live there, how they live.
    Really nice.

  17. All three of these are cozy little heavens! I would take any of them! The most beautiful part is the confidence that it takes to mix and match and throw caution to the wind :)
    Have a great week!

  27. The best part of these is that they look actually lived in and realistic. I love the dreamer rooms too, but these spaces are like comfort food. If I was a guest, I would be staying awhile :) XO

  28. I love that elegant doesn't have to mean stuffy and formal! These are great examples of a relaxed version.

  30. Yes, the first picture is so very VERY much my style. I just love the chunky table. I covet the tiny pencil candle holders. Love all of the rough textures and the eclectic mix. Your blog is so well done! I'm seriously thinking about having you do my blog title...
