Modern Flair

I was looking through Elle Decor and came across this 'Asian Inspired California home'.
I'm really not sure how I feel about an entire home with modern decor.


When I was a girl growing up my parents had Scandinavian teak furniture with curvy lines.

As I have grown and developed my own style there are some things with straight lines I can embrace.

I'm just not so into 'retro'.
I could 'do' the concrete counter tops here!
Tell me what you think? 
 I love fabrics and comfy looking furniture.

Do you want your house to be a lovely home?

  3. I can take some linear furniture/objects, but also like curves and softness thrown in for balance as well! Hope you had a nice holiday, Sweet Friend! xo

  5. Ohhhh...you will cringe Renae my dear, I adore 'retro' and I love Scandinavian design. But, I know what you mean about shying away from what we grew up with. I must say though that I love a great mix of style, and eras. All one style is too rigid anymore. I did love this home though in a big way!
    Fabulous post my friend!!

    Hugs to you from Hooooston xoxo

  7. Not really my cup of tea, but I did like the dining room very much, I think it's the eclecticness of it all...and those gorgeous red flowers!

  9. It's not my personal taste either, but I really loved seeing a departute from the "usual" magazine spread and even though this is modern, it still looks cozy and livable.

  11. I love to mix it up and use what i'm drawn to as long as it can be in keeping with whatever else is going on. A little unexpected is always nice. Hope all is well with you. Mona
