Your home is so pretty and charming @Regal Bee !

My home is a cute little Santa Fe style Adobe with arched doorways, big heavy wood doors with heavy hand hewn Iron hardware,and hand made iron light fixtures ,with a touch of country rustic 🙂

@Carmiewrote:

@Regal Bee  I love the picture of the bedroom you posted.  It looks like a country B&B that is featured in an upscale magazine.  I would feel comfortable and cozy in that room.

i have a question though.  When I see pictures of bedrooms without bureaus and such, where do you store your clothing?

I seem to have a lot of furniture in my bedroom and even though my bedroom is cozy, I have no room for chairs, tables. Lamps and all the good decorating things.

Almost all of my rooms are traditional, and transitional, but I have my mother’s hard rock maple dining room set and it is colonial.

I guess I fit into the eclectic category.  I collect pieces that I love or bring a good memory.  

I also have a shrine to my DH in the living room that I would love to move elsewhere, but he won’t let me.  He gets hurt feelings when I suggest he put it into a study.  It is a wall with his picture and awards and metals for lifesaving, valor, etc that he was given  over the years through his job.  I feel it is an eyesore, then I feel bad for thinking that.

i’ll live with it because he is a keeper.

@Carmie  Thank you.

We have a large walk-in closet with shelves and drawers and I put my clothing in there. The closet was a re-do by my wonderful husband many years ago. I am also blessed to have a dressing area in the master bathroom.

I am sure you are super proud of your husband.....he does indeed sound like a keeper.

Your bedroom is so beautiful, Regal Bee! It does look like it could be featured in a magazine of beautiful homes. My home would be considered traditional style but sometimes does not seem pulled together to me. I don't really have an eye for decorating. I just put together what I think looks good. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures.

@Regal Bee your room is so beautiful.  My home is traditional with an emphasis on family antiques. I doubt that my rooms would photograph well, although after looking at some pictues a realtor posted of a friend's house, I didn't think mine looked too shabby.

My house is basically modern/traditional with the exception of my sons bedroom, which is done Western. I also like everything clean and orderly. 

My mom would love your bedroom. It's kind of country chic.

@Carmie  The "shrine" to DH you mentioned in the living room would bother me also.

I would want it in the family room.  

The husband of my former next door neighbor was a big game hunter.  He had his trophys hanging throughout the home.  There were bear, elk, deer, and other various heads of animals in every room.

Seriously, yes --- my home is very old-fashioned.  It's comfortable.  Would I like some upgrades?  Yes.  But I am not concerned with it. 

It has charm and coziness.  It's mine and I like it!!!

Different rooms, different styles but all welcoming and relaxing.

@jlkz  Totally charming......I think your rooms flow well and yes, they are welcoming. Thanks for sharing!

My friend who is into that type of thing calls our home "American Traditional".  I decorated it with things that I loved and the colors that I loved;  I wasn't going for any particular style. I don't if it's eclectic, it could be.  I just know it's filled with what we like.  It is a work in progress.  It's very  similar to this without the chocolate brown.  My colors are tans/ivory/deep red.  We have tan ww carpet.  I wish we had hardwood floors.
