Name: Emily
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
We moved into our builder box of a house a little over two years ago. My immediate goal was to do all I could to give it a personality of its own, so that it didn't feel like every other house in our neighborhood. I've furnished about 90% of our house with purchases from Craigslist, thrift shops and yard sales.
I'm a huge fan of color in strong doses, in the right places. I do like our home because although it's new, the floor plan isn't so open that I have to treat it all as one big room. I was able to give each room it's own unique plan, tying it all together with an eclectic mix of styles and unexpected color.
Thanks, Emily!

Thanks for featuring my home. The green curtains are from IKEA--I added a wide fabric band. You can find more info on my blog: www.emilyaclark.com
I'd like to see a full house tour as well. You've done a good job of making a new home have personality and depth. And it's always nice to see the home town represented!
Love it! I looked at it and immediately knew that it was new construction but yet it totally feels collected and personal.
Your taste in furniture is very much in line with my own. Every piece looks great! And the color palettes chosen for each room SING! Nothing but praise!
Perfection. Wish it was mine.....
