From the Right Bank has thrown down a challenge... Define your decorating style in one picture. This was difficult for me. My design crushes change frequently. But for right this minute, this is mine. Can you hear that? (Boom, boom, boom... That's my heart pounding!) I love the super high ceiling, the exposed beams and the wall of windows flanking the room. I think the neutral walls and furniture is nothing short of dreamy! What you can't see is the view of the ocean out the right side windows. Let me explain my obsession a little... I am a girl who grew up right on The Great Lakes in Michigan and spent a great deal of time vacationing in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This is where my never ending love affair with large bodies of water and great rooms with a view began.
I have a terrible eye for what looks good in a house. Would it be tacky to take the same room and splash around sports memorabilia everywhere (even pillow cases and slip covers for the couches)? I'm pretty sure I know your answer on that.
That room does look awesome, though, just the way it is.
Love it!! The vaulted ceiling & beams are spectacular. And all the great architectural detail is gorgeous. I can just imagine how the view of the ocean kicks up the beauty factor another notch or two!! :-)
Hi! My name is Mary Ellen and this is my little sliver of the blogosphere. I am a long time, hard-core "blog stalker". I've been obsessed with fabric and interior design all of my life and I've decided that it's high time to vault myself into the 21st century and chronicle my daydreams, inspirations and current design crushes. So kick back, get comfortable and enjoy! Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment... I'd love to hear from you!

I am a single gal with no children of my own. I am new (relatively speaking) to the single life and I am now trying to navigate the murky waters of the bachelorette lifestyle. You can follow my journey of decorating my new condo, shopping finds and my everyday adventures right here, at Lucky Little Stars!
This is a little space where I can share various obcessions of mine. I love interior design, fashion, food, gardening, reading, sports, travel, night life, diy projects, thrifting, hearing music live... here's the rub. I'm living on a strict budget but I'm determined to find a way to make everything wotk.
I LOVE IT!!!! I think think that is going to be our color theme for our family room in the new house :)
