Signature Style Series: Find homes that match your style! This one is modern, vintage, glam. #style #modern

I had an epiphany  a few years ago that set off a chain reaction to finally, FINALLY! finding the key to decorating a home I loved– and that key was defining my signature style. Once I found that, the rest was gravy (baby). It quite literally unstuck something in my brain, allowing me the freedom to say ‘Come to Mama!’ to the things I loved while giving permission for me not to like something just because it was a trend. Before finding the key, it got to the point where my eyes were so overwhelmed by seeing certain trends all over the internet that I couldn’t decide whether it was a style I loved or whether I ‘liked’ it because I was seeing it every. darn. where. (hello, chevron!)

In celebration of the power of signature styles, I’ve invited 22 stylish bloggers to share their style on their blogs this week so we can all ooooh and ahhhh and appreciate the nuances of finding a style (or styles) that you love. Whether their style jives with yours or not, isn’t refreshing to check out different styles by people who own it, no matter what’s currently ‘trending’? Without further ado, I’m kicking off the Signature Style Series with a warm welcome to you and to those who are coming from All Things G&D (I’ve admired Dusty’s casual and colorful style for years!)  As for my style, here’s a peek into what makes me twirl around and sing ‘Because I’m HAPPY!’ at the top of my lungs:

(no, really, I did that}

{“Can’t nothing bring me down, my level’s too HIGH!”)

{gosh I love Pharrell}

A few of my favorite things:

1. gold hexagons. cant’s get enough.

2. told you. more gold hexagons. i have this honeycomb rug from One Kings Lane and loooooove it.

3. i want to wrap myself in greige and strive to find the perfect blue.

4. my style is what i like to call tailored casual. classic with a little trend up in here, kinda like those Kate Spade aviators and this drapey cardigan from 2012. <— so I’m off trend by a few years, it is what it is. 😉

5. fell in love with this restoration hardware mirror, found a knockoff for about $450 less (sharing soon!)

6. ginkgo leaves have a special meaning to us; bonus if they’re gold. i have the ginkgo symbol all over our home.

7. i will have this west elm origami table some day. that day will be when my kids are no longer tempted to sit on tables.

As I looked around my home when planning this post, three words jumped out. In fact, I found them EVERYWHERE. Ready?

  • Modern
  • Vintage
  • Glam

I’m not held to those words, meaning I definitely allow myself to stray from them. But typically if I love something it falls into at least one of those categories. You wouldn’t think those words go together, but check out this sneak peek of my gallery wall.

My bedroom is in the middle of a makeover. Check out the— wait for it– vintage task lamp, modern style headboard, and glam nailhead trim, bowl and coasters.

Speaking of those coasters, I guess you could call them vintage since the agate is thousands of years old. But with glam gilded edges and used in a modern way.

There’s not too much vintage in my Agate Jewelry Box, except I do use it to store a few vintage jewelry pieces (not pictured). It screams ‘modern glam’ though, right?

Heck, the vintage mirrored lacquered sideboard I scored at a thrift store is literally ALL THREE THINGS AT ONCE.

VINTAGE. MODERN. GLAM.

Each of my mirrors in my entryway mirror wall is at least one of those words. But I still love how they look all together. Like a Modern (Vintage Glam) Family.

I’d also add organic and neutral into my style words, but that’s getting a bit long. ModVinGlamOrgTral.

I’ve yet to share my son’s room yet (sooooo hard to photograph, ugh) but here’s a peek. I wanted to stay true to his love of vintage trains but in a modern way. 😉

Where do I keep inspiration photos that fit my style? Here, on my gigantic modern $12 bulletin board covered in vintage style fabric. Hanging right above my glam geometric gold lamp. But more on inspiration photos later this week. 🙂
