Eccentric Decor

This blog will serve as a note-taking reminder of things I'm looking for in homestyle, a scrapbook I can look back on anytime to help me build the perfect nest, so to say.

For my own reference, here are some words that might describe the kind of things I'd say about my style taste:

eccentric (but of course)
bright
colorful (purples, lime greens, robin's egg blues, candy pink)
whimsy
modern (as in the furniture style)
comfort
cozy
appealing (in the way we use it in animation, that would be, specific shapes appealing to the eye, not a specifcally subjective term)
celestial
retro
earth-friendly
passionate
warmth
curious
fairy tale
sensual

and descriptors of what I would like to avoid:

traditional
antique
rustic
delicate
primary colors (like christmas red or green at it's dullest hunter shade)

I like things with a twist, if it's old then it needs to be clever, remodeled for our way of thinking now. I want the style to be suprising, loving. The seating and bedding to be the softest, most sink down and never get up comfortable you can experience. I want delicious cool colors with a touch of warmth and spice. I want visual interest and delicious mood lighting. Sparkles and shine. Fluff. I want character art hanging all over the walls, color all over the room, and shelving full of books filled with inspiring photos and art (I've got quite a book collection, just where to put them?) I want there to be a touch of romance, as if you were to come upon the room and be jealous that you couldn't be there alone with your lover. I want there to be a secret narrative.

And oh yea, it should probably be pet friendly. ;)
