New house...new designs

I'm so excited about moving to a new house. I'm terrible at designing a room but I'd love to have a pretty home. Good thing I've got great friends that are willing to give their opinions (which I value deeply). But I want to make sure my house looks like me and not like it belongs to them, kwim? So here's a few pics of rooms I like and examples of what I don't care for.

traditional dining room design by seattle architect Bosworth Hoedemaker

I don't care for that bubble light over the table but I do like the clean lines and simplicity of the room.

I really like the color scheme here.

eclectic entry design by los angeles interior designer Fluegge Interior Design, Inc.

I do NOT like this. For me, it's too cluttered and has way too much stuff to dust.

tropical living room design by hawaii interior designer Susan J Moss, ASID

This feels like I'm waiting in the lobby of the Mirage in Vegas. Which is a good thing if I'm actually waiting in the lobby of the Mirage. But it's not what I want my home to feel like. :)

contemporary living room design by new york interior designer Barbara Jacobs Color and Design

I like this; can't really put my finger on why I like it...but I do.

modern bathroom design by san francisco architect Sutton Suzuki Architect

Clean and simple. I like it.

mediterranean bedroom design by other metros showroom Angel Mangarakov

Those curtains are kinda cool! And I like how bright it is. But...that's all I like.

modern kitchen design by miami interior designer Pepe Calderin

Diggin' the kitchen.

modern kitchen design by san francisco architect At-Six Architecture

I like this one even better - the cool, opaque cabinets, the tile that's a different color.

I like the height you get out of this kitchen. Very pretty.


Ok, well designers, I hope this gives you a better sense of my point of view/style.

Happy decorating!
