It's so exciting finding a place that I identify with.
This space in a decor center in St. Louis,
Warson Woods,
just speaks to me

This is the second time I've visited here
and when I step inside this space
I just want to move in.
I think that is the way to really tell
what your dominant style may be.
There are a lot of gorgeous places
that cause me to drool
but could I move in?
Does it reflect who I am?
French Country has always been what I gravitate toward
No matter where I've lived
The dramatic oversized pieces
contrast
definition
elements of nature
elegant yet comfortable
Antiquity
Classic
Old World
Actually, this space is what prompted me to paint my Dining Room
I love so many "styles" of decorating
and like to mix elements and pieces...
white
vintage
farmhouse
primitive...

But I always come back to these lines
and how they make me "feel"
Have you found your "dominant style"?
Hope you'll join in today with
Vintage Inspiration Friday!
remember, you can link up any vintage inspiration.
love,
Debra
Hi Debra, I luv that space! It looks like there are a lot of treasures to hunt for. Thank You for hosting today.....Julian
ReplyDeleteGreat store with lots of goodies! I would have to hand my wallet to my hubby!
ReplyDeleteLove stores like that - lots of eye candy!
ReplyDeleteHi Debra, French Country is my first love but I also like traditional, farmhouse chic, vintage with a little shabby thrown in. This shop is wonderful and there are a lot of goodies that catch my eye.

I have always called my style Grandma's Attic. I love a mix of traditional with antiques especially from the 30s and 40s. I have purged at times...tried to change and update but gradually, it all comes back to the same style!
ReplyDeleteI love this post Debra. It is so hard, especially hard after discovering all the beauty in blog land, to stay with-in your style. But you are so right... it is what you always come back to. I love all design when done right but for my space I always fall back to that cottage comfy feel. Thanks for reminding me :) happy day!
ReplyDeleteOoh! I love it. I live in St. Louis and have never heard of Wasson Woods...could you send me an email and tell me where it is. I would love to check it out! Thanks, Aaron

Well said, Debra! I agree, "it's what you always come back to..."
ReplyDeleteXO,

I haven't found my style yet...I keep melding one into another :) I really love that french bistro sign! Looking for something like that to go above my couch. So cute!
ReplyDeleteDebra, that is a lovely store and it is definitely "you" darling. I have an eclectic style mix of primitive meets country meets traditional. loveya♥olive
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's "you".
ReplyDeleteJust move me into Homestead and I'll be happy!
Ummmm....where's the linky thang, sista?

Lovely things and great photos!
ReplyDeleteDebra... I love going to Warson Woods!!! We usually are in that area of St. Louis twice a year... Infact, my husband will be there NEXT WEEKEND ~ while I'm doing a show in Chicago!!! Sooooo sad to miss a shopping spree there!!! My favorite decor are 3 shabby booths in the store...
ReplyDeleteJeanine, ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!
How funny that I just posted about the necklace I bought from you Debra, and am basically saying the same thing about it that you are saying here! I think I am going to link it up to your party, but I hope you'll come over and read it anyway. : )
ReplyDeleteDebra
ReplyDeleteI have heard of Wasson Woods and was told by one of the owners of my favorite store A La Campagne here, that is where she got her old dress form with a wire skirt. I want to make a trip to St Louis we could meet there.
Janice
Oh Debra - all of it is fantastic!!! I can see how you could get in some trouble there.... LOL
ReplyDelete;-D xoxo

What a beautiful store! So many lovely things to look at!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I could move in there, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful things EVERYWHERE!!
Thanks

Debra I am diffidently more cottage/farmhouse style. I love your style though it reminds me so much of how my mom in love decorates. I linked up this week! Did you see the end result of the office/spare bedroom. I posted it a couple of weeks ago but I it was during fall/Halloween link ups so I did not link it up.
ReplyDeleteNothing to link up this week but shoes! lol As for my style, I call it comfortable, casual chic with vintage notes...just a tad shabby, a few elements of French Country, cottage, farmhouse... whatever tickles my fancy. The things I "feel" the most & gravitate towards are snugly fabrics to create a soft visual texture. Cotton, jersey, knit, etc. I just want my whole house to feel like a big, ol' comfy sofa that says, "kick your feet up and stay a while."
ReplyDeleteI'm Late ~ I'm Late ~ for a Very Important Date.... Sorry Debra, Better Late than Never, Right??? Love the Inspirational Photos you have posted... why is it I always want to walk right into a photo, but never seem to get the same effect at home in the room I want to do.... Have a Great Weekend
ReplyDeleteCheryl
Hi Debra,
ReplyDeleteLove this post and I found lots of inspiration in each photo :)
Love the flea market style.
Thank you for the vintage Friday invite :)

Dore
Soooo many yummy pieces there. I loved what you said about including "elements of nature" ~ makes me want to start all over in my decorating (:
ReplyDeleteHey Debra. I was so happy to hear from you. Things have been so hectic here. Thank you for taking the time to comment with your comforting words. It means so much to me. I'm off to bed but I hope I get a chance to go though all the wonderful links you have.
ReplyDeleteBe blessed. Love, Tracy :)
Hi Debra...I am a mixer too...shabby at heart though. This place looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend!
What a beautiful shop! I have difficulty pinning down my style. In know what I like, but I like so many different things! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, this shop is so utterly French. I like everything in it. Blogging lets us visit places we can't really get to! Check out my new room on your links. I am #53 I think you will like it.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb
ReplyDeleteJust back from Tipton and it was so much fun, but I can relax a little now and maybe even join in on Inspiration Fridays...
Loved this post, I love the graphics
Hope all is well
Blessings
Rebecca
I've yet to find a shop specializing in ticky-tacky design, but when I do...Bro-ther...I'm moving in!
ReplyDeleteI agree...that is so you!
Debbie
Fabulous spot!!! Did you see the chair she distressed and then edged with the pearls?
ReplyDeleteI just wait till she does the next one!!! I can't afford them now, I just hope she keeps designing them till someday I can own those for my dining room. They are sooo unique!!!
