does anyone have a really unique or extreme home/room decorating style?
Author: admin | Category: Home Decoratingi am looking for people with serious collections or unique/extreme Home Decorating styles
Well, since everyone we know calls our home the museum, I suppose you would call it extreme. We did inherit some pretty outrageous collections like silk Japanese and Chinese embroidered vintage and antique gowns which we display with a collection of "faces" which are Harlequin or mardi gras porcelain or ceramic masks. We have an extensive collection of teapots and accompanying service which we used around the house to store everything from bath salts, to cotton balls to q-tips to coffee and buttons we inherited. We have about 8 fountains inside and outside our home, tons of staturary, reliefs and architectural embellishment dating from all periods and wrought and cast iron salvaged from demolished buildings and custom made. Almost everything in our home or yard has what we think is a fascinating story that was passed down to us or we experienced collecting it. Our style is eclectic as it represents my European heritage and heirlooms and Asian which blends together to create a museum like gallery of artifacts in a dog friendly, comfortable, well used and worn environment. For some it is over the top, but for us our home is a total reflection of who were are, where we came from and where we have been.

I decorated in Early American, and don’t have a phone, computer, or any visible electronics. I use a cell, check my email at work, and have my cable TV and DVD inside my armoir.
In my bedroom, there are no modern appliances, except on electric lamp that look like a candle lamp.

I like unexpected "things" in our home. I have a georgous
antique picture frame w/out a picture in our entry w/a wreath
in the center. I have large pictures on the floor w/a plate
stand. An old antique outside door leaning against
our back fence w/a huge wreath.
Just a few of the whimsical things around.
Anyone have other suggestions?
