Over the years, I've collected magazines and saved pages of rooms and gardens that appeal to me. There is considerable variety in the ones I've held onto (and put into a binder), but I've tried to figure out what the commom thread is that unites them. The verdict is in: I'm a romantic, with a dash of country--not to be confused with western. I've not forsaken my traditional roots, they are are just slowly eroding to make way for a softer feminine style. 

No room in my house looks like either of these, but I just heart them. Don't know that Shane would ever be ok with me going off the deep end into this style (and I don't know if I'd want to), but there is something really beautiful and peaceful about a romanctic look to me. Maybe I'll be able to incorporate tidbits of this type of design into mi casa. Until then, I have my binder.
