There is a school of thought that your homes decor should center arond one single color in every room with different accent colors in the different rooms. Such as a blue/taupe living room, blue/green kitchen... using this idea. what color would you build around?

We built a new house in 1999 and I used taupe as my base color and then I've added different colors with it in each room. Kitchen & dining room pink, cream, and taupe.....bathroom #1 blue, pink, taupe.....bathroom #2 green, blue, taupe.....living room barn red, green, taupe.

What style of interior design most appeals to you?

I love using antiques through out my home. I like the shabby chic and country looks too. I mostly decorate with what ever I love. It's very interesting!!

Do you like metals in a room? Do you prefer brass or silver?

I prefer the shiny brass but only as accents.

Do you like wood or glass shelves better?

In our home we used oak shelving. With the antique look that I love glass shelves just wouldn't go.
