my home style

I was tagged by Lauren to choose a picture that best describes my home decor style. I found this to be quite impossible, so I thought I would post a handful of pictures that I have saved over the past few months. They inspire me, but I'm not sure that the end result of my decorating looks at all like this! I have to make the best of what I already have, and most of what I already have is flimsy non-wood furniture from you-know-where. I appear to love a bit of clutter, pastel colours, loads of natural light, and very old things that aren't necessarily practical or useful.

I love pretty dresses hanging about.

I love pretty arrangements of things.

Fresh flowers are essential (I'm not really a plant person)...

...as is a cozy, messy bed.

Books with pretty pastel coloured edges are wonderful. As long as the books themselves are good books, of course.

A lot of pretty things to look at.
Update: This is from an installation by Sonja Ahlers.

Lace, light, thread -- nothing better.

A nice cup of coffee in a sunlight-filled kitchen is heavenly.
