You know you've got style when ... !!! ... :):)

I love people who have a homes that are all about tem ... I like that kind of style ... and as I say this ... I must confess their is a certain home where I live ...  that I caught a peek of... this past Christmas. I am still trying to figure out how to meet up again with the lady of the house and tell her just how much I loved her home ... It is a home where every inch  and every piece of furniture spoke about whose home it is. Really, I call that kind of home a style statement.
Hmm! may be I should march upto her home and ring the bell and tell her exactly this ... :):) ... o.k ... if I muster up enough courage to do that ... you'll hear it here first ... ;)
Oh! please do stop smerking ... imagining me actually do that ... :):)
So here I am thinking ... we all have I love this and that ... pictures in our mind  ... or like many of us in our style files on the laptops ... so how do you use them ... once you figured what you enjoy, do you actually bring it out in real life or let it be in those style files ... we all need to discover ... and then just do it ... so in case you are figuring out things about what's your style ... well! how about some of these pictures from my style files ...

 ... if the new home you bought looks nothing like the original finishes but quite like this ... its official you got style ... :)

Oh! you soooo got style ...


Homes and Gardens

I truly believe in you Rajee, styling should be something very much you. I would always love to confront so many things but as mentioned by you our Indian temp....dust and dirt especially the place I reside gurrrrrgaon does not let me experiment….to that level.

But surely your post is a set back and with time definitely there’s lot to come. Thanks for the motivation, Shivani

This post is SO meaningful. I think a lot of people have incredible style but there are things that keep us from fully unleashing it. Why keep it tamed. Let it go, let it out! Just go for it. These places don't have to be somebody else's place.
