Eclectic Style - A Flickr Fave
I’ve been thinking a lot about “eclectic style” every since reading the post in Decorno I mentioned yesterday. For me, it’s really the person who lives there showing their personality, and surrounding themselves with things they love. Those who are able to successfully get a bit of an eclectic mix for others are true mix-masters; I would assume the clients would be throwing some of their own taste in the mix (for example, when Ruthie Sommers found that horse shoe chair for Drew Barrymore’s partner’s office in Domino, knowing it was something a cowboy lover would love).
Anyway, I was just perusing some of my flickr faves, and I think this is a great example of eclecticism reflecting the person who composed the room:
Another favorite comes from flickr member midcenturyjo’s stock of amazing images. You probably know her from her fabulous blog, desiretoinspire:
How about one more favorite eclectic credenza from happymundane:

Aw shucks, wish I could take the credit but it belongs to those amazing flickr members above. I’ve been trying to hoard favorite credenza shots for awhile (happy mundane scored that one for $110! SICK!). I’ve been meaning to do a big post on them for about a year or so…:)

Hi Becky,
I totally agree with what you wrote. That dresser and arrangement in the top pic is similar to what we have going in our apartment.. Check out my blog. I think if you search “apartment” some pics should come up.
