I custom ordered two identical sofas, which between the frames and the pillows, I chose seven fabrics, a distressed leather, four trims and nailhead detailing. My angst is that because I chose the fabrics based on viewing 12" x 12" swatches, very small trim samples and the fact that I am not a decorator mean that I am now wondering what it all is going to look like together... and the fact that I ordered TWO doesn't help. My suffering will go on until they come in, which should be at the end of the month. Sorry to go on and on. I guess your post struck a cord with me. Love your blog, by the way. You have exquisite taste.Lori @ Projects Plentyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966968161905373260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-32833406811792895722010-11-05T20:57:00.599-07:002010-11-05T20:57:00.599-07:00Hi Delores~

I have struggled with staying true to what I love too... I love the white, muted shabby colors but I do crave bold colors too and the colors will usually win- red is my favorite! I say decorate with what you love!

Your sofa with bullion fringe is gorgeous! (as is your whole home) I had to go back a couple of times to see again which picture was the one from Traditional home?... And I have the mag!<br />I love looking at all the trends (for awhile) Grey wicker...Grey furniture...Grain cloth covered everything....Mid century modern...Trellis patterned everything (forgive me, but I'm about to gag over too much of that one) The classics last. Beautiful antiques rarely go out of style...So tempting as the trends might be, I'm going to stay true to my decorating style just like you! High five *slap* design sistah!

I have a huge-arm tufted sofa and I love it, even though it's not in right now. I look at the linens like you, and I really think they're beautiful. But at the end of the day, I couldn't live with them, as much as I like to look at them and dream. Your home clearly reflects you and what you love -- be proud of that :) It's what makes a house a home.

It says woodsy, natural and looks cozy. My DH always say to me "what you want doesn't exist yet" - he's usually right. It's frustrating when I know what I want but can't find. Thank goodness the internet has brought the world to my fingertips and I can usually find (at a price I'm willing to pay) - even if it takes awhile! <br /><br />I enjoyed reading about your trip. It's been busy, so I don't usually take the time to comment. Florence and Sienna were two of my favorite places when I traveled for three weeks through Europe several years ago. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos - they took me back there, if only for a few minutes.<br /><br />Allison<br />AtticmagAllison Shopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148159400348086944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-6280853902126978382010-11-04T13:26:07.865-07:002010-11-04T13:26:07.865-07:00I learned a long time ago (I am very olden, you kn...I learned a long time ago (I am very olden, you know) that if I stick with classic designs in my big pieces..sofas, chairs, chests..I can "do the in thing" with pillows, decorating objects, even lamps. Then, when that fad is gone, I just sweep up the "in once but now OUT) things, start watching blogs, magazines and the like and start all over. Then, I'm not out a lot of money.<br />Burlap is ok for small things..pillows..but when you have to wash it, it is never very pretty to me. Just not into it, I guess. Now, I DO have #'s on a lot of things right now but...they all will come off very easily.<br />I say stick with traditional furnishings and you'll never go wrong.:))bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-58450347773621140152010-11-04T12:14:37.359-07:002010-11-04T12:14:37.359-07:00Your sofa is absolutely gorgeous, and if you are h...Your sofa is absolutely gorgeous, and if you are having doubts about it, I will take it!

We know we love something, I mean really love it, we get it then see a picture or hear someone say something about a different style and the next thing you know we are questioning ourselves.
