If someone was to walk into your home and look at your decor, without meeting or knowing anything about you, what do you think they would guess you are like?

I think if people were to walk into my place they would think I was an old lady... I have a lot of what some may consider "tacky" antiques, but I love them! I think my "style" embarrasses my boyfriend, but he's just jealous.


I own several of these...

That I am neat, and I don't have that many decorations that are visible.. Also, they will notice, that I keep my house very clean..

Interestingly enough, most of the people who come into my home call it "homey". I don't really know what that means because I have an ecclectic 'mess' of things that we like.
It's a mixture of technologically 'modern' things mixed with a bunch of other stuff - antiques, things from our past, things we like now, and a lot of garage sale items.
Some people would call it 'sensibly chic'. I just call it my mess.
It's a clean mess though. My daughter says I'm a clean freak, but I don't think I am. I just don't like getting caught off guard, so I try to keep the clutter at a minimum.
Our home is functional, comfortable and I feel like I'm surrounded with the things we like. Otherwise I wouldn't have them. I'm not waiting for the day when the kids are grown and I can have nice stuff. I just make do with what I have. We LIVE in our home. It's certainly no showplace, but it's allllllll mine.

That sounds like the kind of house I like to visit. I get uncomfortable in homes that are barren.. I like interesting things with history and stories behind them. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate a minimalistic house, but I am always afraid of touching anything lol.


myLot reputation of 99/100. terilee79720 (1458)  4 years ago

Heck, there's nothing in my house you can't touch ('cept my husband).....LOL

My house is made to enjoy. You would REALLY enjoy my patio. It's made for fun. It has an outdoor kitchen, hot tub, pool table and comfy sitting. The only thing missing out there is a door that leads into the bedroom and potty. I still have to go inside for that. LOL


myLot reputation of 66/100. wooitsmolly (1435)   ranked 1 out of 21 in antiques roadshow  4 years ago

Okay, I am coming over tonight!!

LOL - Bring the POT!

Hah, people would think that we are packrats. We have a whole lot of stuff, it's not very tidy at the moment, and it just looks like a big jumble of junk. I am working on it, but we live in a small apartment with a lot of stuff. One room at a time... :)

People would walk in my house and say that we are very modern. With our Ikea decor we kind of have mixed it in with just some important furniture we had forever like my great grandmothers china cabinet and some other oak wood furniture. But mainly house was decorated by Ikea.


myLot reputation of 66/100. wooitsmolly (1435)   ranked 1 out of 21 in antiques roadshow  4 years ago

I like Ikea furniture, too. I have a dresser and computer desk. The desk is great, but he dresser is really a piece of junk. I accidentally knocked it with my knee and it cracked in half... ahaha wtf?


DiamondPeach (57)  4 years ago

Yea I got rid of my dresser about 3 month ago, sold it in a yardsale. But I did buy their closet organizer and it's great.

We have a lot of books and a lot of plants. Perhaps people would think this apartment contains two bookish nerds.

Also, I've got a collection of tacky items as well, and a lot of "I Love Jesus" things. So maybe they'd think a grandmother lived here too--but I just like tacky things and find jesus merchandise to be hilarious.

People coming into my home can see I read a lot of books and I am not very tidy. I don't own any decorative items, I only buy things I need or which have a practical use.

I do like to see antique items, artworks and well crafted stylish furniture but they don't have a place in my life right now.

People would probably think the same thing about me because my furniture is old LOL. But we like it and even though I would love to update my furniture we don't have the extra money right now.

Wow...what an interesting question! I guess they would think that I'm somewhat modern and that my house is also my office because I always have work stuff laying around. (paperwork from my real job, or beads and other jewelry making supplies on my work table, etc.)

They would see that I like to live comfortably and my home is always presentable, but I'm not necessarily a neat freak.
