cottage and vine: Design Tips & a Guest Post

Design Tips & a Guest Post

If you follow me on pinterest, you might notice my comment "mixture" on many of the images. I love a balanced room. By balanced I mean a room that isn't too specific in style and time period. Layered or collected might be good words to use in this case. Style at Home has listed 23 decorating tips from their editors and style mixing was one of them.

Here are a few of my favorite tips....

Mix Styles

Edit Your Bed

Create Your Own Artwork

Group Your Accessories

Start With a Neutral Palette

Go here to read all 23 tips.

I still owe you the rest of the details on the chair. I promise it won't be long - life has been a bit crazy.

Ange from the blog Blooming Hydrangea has invited me over today while she continues to unpack and settle into her new house. If you haven't checked out Ange's blog before, you can do so here.

Wonderful and helpful tips! I think I need to edit my bed a bit. I have gotten carried away with far too many pillows. My husband says it takes 30 minutes to remove everything to get into bed! I love the room featuring creating your own artwork. Pretty space. I'm off to read your guest post.
