Her style is so restrained despite the layering. I loved this.

I stumbled across your channel today and fell in love with it. You are the Cliff Notes of decorating! I can get tons of inspiration without having to deal with tons of books. I recently downsized from two homes to one and had to deal with a 50-year collection of decorating books. Every surface of my home was covered. I finally decided to get rid of anything over 10 years old. It was very freeing. Now I can be inspired without the hassle of moving and dusting stacks of books! Thanks!

WELCOME and thanks!

[@MrMrremmington]

Very pretty and organized but too feminine and subdued for me. It all looks clean and sophisticated.

I hate Southern style decorating
