"Gustavian Design: A late 18thcentury design style made popular by Swedish monarch Gustav III.

Gustav spent his early years at Versailles so it comes as no surprise that Gustavian design was heavily influenced by the French Neoclassical style with a little Italian Classicism thrown in for good measure.

Defined by the juxtaposition between informal comfort and refined elegance this is one of my favorite design periods. The beauty is that it translates well into contemporary design. Gustavian traditionally incorporates more color, gilding, crystal and mirrored surfaces than its more informal translation, known as Swedish Country, featuring more rustic woods and lots of white".

I love to look at pictures of those romantic vignettes and let my imagination roam free, but I don't think I want to live in rooms decorated in that style all the time. I prefer decor that's a bit more formal. If I could have a vacation cottage, though, I would love to play around with the shabby chic idea.

I would love to be able to change my decor as my decorating whimsy takes me. But reality is what I have now. It is fun to tweak things here and there tho. And these pics help me dream a little . . .
