Since my corporate job and I parted ways in January, I've enjoyed all the extra time the change has allowed me and my home. We've become quite close, as my Type-A personality likes to be productive, and my love of my home sees me continually looking for inexpensive ways to improve it.
I'd describe my style as comfortable, with Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware as my inspirations. If I had more money, I'd shop there, or rather, I'd have Candace Olsen and Sarah Richardson shop there (my two favourite decorators).
In the main areas, I tried to make it as inviting and comfortable-looking as possible. In the same way that I wouldn't mix leathers belt/purse/shoes, and wouldn't mix metals (jewelry), I generally don't mix woods or metals. For instance, if the major wood elements are espresso, they all are espresso. If the major metal elements are brushed nickel, they ALL must be brushed nickel. I also like to use an inspiration. For instance, the Cappelli vintage poster art in black, red and gold were my inspiration for my dining room/living room area. Sticking with one theme allowed the two rooms to flow seamlessly together.
