A Bedroom After My Own Heart

Remember when I asked for help putting my personal style into words? (It's no. 10 on my 101 in 1001 list.) A few of you tossed around the words glamorous, lived-in, and traditional. While I still need to perfect the definition (lived-in glamour? traditional with a twist?), I definitely think you were onto something. 
To me, this bedroom from new-to-me tumblr the house home embodies each of those three characteristics flawlessly. I get a lived-in vibe from the open door and unmade bed, which to some might look just messy but to me means comfortable and laid-back. The chandelier and the floor-skimming curtains are unapologetically glamorous, keeping out of the way and yet stealing the spotlight at the same time. Finally the balcony and the gold gilded mirror stand for time-honored tradition. My only change might be to swap out the bed for one of these platform beds — less vacuuming and more storage! What do you think of this space and my efforts to explain my aesthetic? Feel free to help : )

I think that bedroom epitomizes lived-in glamour. I can only imagine that the view outside is just as romantic (I feel like that room should be in the South of France or somewhere similarly lovely)!

Maybe you should just define your style as GORGEOUS. :) What an incredible room!

Great room! Love the gold mirror above the bed - it really works well with the chandelier.
I'd say it's traditional and relaxed with glamorous highlights.

i love mixing and matching themes in interiors. it seems so much less stodgy! i think you hit the nail on the head with your description...as for your own style? i think it will continue to evolve as you grow as a designer. welcome the change!
