I subscribe to just about every shelter magazine available, and read many decorating blogs for inspiration, and therefore, I have ended up with no exact style. Every week I want to update what I thought I loved the week before. Most of our home is full of antique finds from tiny stores here in Baltimore, my sister's home decor store in New Jersey, and sprinkled with big box store items.
Our house was built in 1934, so we have limited closet and cabinet space. Our kitchen utilizes open cabinets, and my daughter's room uses cubbies instead of dressers since we have to optimize wall space with storage to fit it all! We have a lot — I mean a lot of stuff, so we layer a lot of our home accessories, and by that I mean a wall might have a table, a wire rack that holds artwork, and three shelves with books and finds. While I often crave the simplicity of homes with a modern, clean feel, it just can't happen for us. Plus, we're messy! I think our home feels really cozy and lived in, which everyone loves. We have a lot of distressed pieces, but everyone is always surprised by a Stark chair, or mod blue leather chairs in our otherwise urban country living room.
Thanks Jennifer!

*sigh*...it's my dream to live in a home colored in greys and golden yellows! BEAUTIFUL color choices.
this is nice, comfortable mix-grandma chic done well.
I love the oversize paisley pillows in the last pic, where are those from?
Everything looks very inviting. My fave is the bathroom. Love!
pretty bathroom!
love the walls in the bedroom - what brand/color? i've been looking for something just like it.
great job on that bathroom!
This is nice to see. Your house is scaled and built like my own. You don't have 12-foot high ceilings, you have bumpy plaster walls (some of which aren't quite square), you have crooked windows and settled floors. In other words, it's a regular old city house like the ones lots of us have. And it looks great--you didn't try to make it into something it isn't, or something you couldn't keep up. The result looks like a really nice, stylish place to live.
Cute place. LOVE those paisley pillows! Did u make them??
loooove that bath!
Thanks for sharing your home with us! I love the gray and yellow too - I wouldn't have thought of that combination but it is cheery and warm at the same time.
I would also like to know what gray paint you use. Also, it looks like you painted a white accent wall in the living room or 2 gray walls. Can you tell me more about that decision? I'm debating doing the same thing to make my living room look bigger. Thanks!
Lovely home. Possible to get a source for the coffee table?
Is this house haunted?

And therein lies your problem. You have so many beautiful things, and a good eye for elements that transcend faddish trends, but they're all jumbled together.
Take the living room. Mentally edit out the throw pillows and the curtains, and suddenly the room is more elegant and cohesive. Don't get me wrong, the pillows and the curtains are nice finds - but they don't suit this room. I say enjoy them somewhere else.
I agree with the other commenters who applaud that paisley (long overdue for a comeback, IMO), and I also like the combination of blue, white, antique wood and bamboo in the bathroom.
