Tracey's Triange - What's your Gangnam Style?

3rdRoommate's Mom (my Aunt) owns an antique store and has a very specific style in her store and her home:  

Shabby Chic.

You've got lace, floral fabrics, antiques and vintage accessories, and a white and pastel pink color scheme.

There are many styles out there. You have your: Country Home.

Little house on the Prairie, Farm animals, apple pie decor, with rustic oversize furniture. Basically souvenirs from any seasonal New Hampshire store ever.

There is a subset of that I call
"Welcome to the Lake"
 

 

If you live near a lake or summer at one. you have things with canoes, fishing, snowshoes, bears, and moose on them. And probably a map of the area on the wall and a fireplace. Adirondack chairs.

This leads us to Cottage Home

It's bright and fresh with a dab of antique. There's wicker and flowers. It's light or light painted woods










 Subset of this is the Beach House

Similar to the Lake, but more nautical things like life rings, oars, and more blues and whites think light and airy compared to the dark reds and greens, and thick beef stew of the country.
You've got shells, seaglass, and sand-dollars. Anything turquoise.










But these are all very generic.

Individual styles are much more interesting.


ODanniGirl's style is what I've dubbed Brit-ish Dreams. Red and Blue. She is in love with all things London, It look like that British Invasion actually happened in Danni's room. She's decorated with the British Flag, Big Ben, those red double-decker buses... She also dreams of attending Hogwarts so we have a Harry Potter flourish mixed in. Keep Calm her style is Totally Awesome.

3rdRoommate is Quirky Irish Chic. Raised under a Shabby Chic roof it is no surprise that 3rdRoommate took the mantle of Chic but her style is more unique and personality specific. Blue, Green, and Yellow. Odds and ends from different yard sales: old cameras and  interesting pictures. Add a couple Boondock Saint movie posters and DKM leaking from the speakers and you have Quirky Irish Chic.

Which brings me to Me.
3rdRoommate decided that I am Creepy Cute. Green, Blue, and Black. I have a collection of Gargoyles next to candles and fake sunflowers, I donned my walls with a Masquerade Mask and Ouija Board, Butterflies and Poetry. My shelves have my Forensic text books and books on grammar, The Bible and book on Tarot. Chemistry books and Cookbooks. My inner-child is little Tiffany from MIB: Eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, middle of the night with quantum physics books about to start some shit. I am no doubt Creepy Cute.

So what's your style?

Good Style, Bad Style, and My Style
