What's Your Style In One Picture Challenge

One of my favourite blogs, From the Right Bank, is putting on a What's Your Style In One Picture Challenge.  I am a fairly new follower of this blog, so I haven't participated in the previous challenges, but I am so pumped to participate in this one!  So, without further adieu, here is my room that describes my style in a nutshell (both images are from the same room, just two different views of it).:
It is a room designed by the amazing Summer Thornton.  I have had these photos in my files for a long time and I just keep going back to them.  I love the colour combinations of the yellow, purple, teal, white and black; the wallpapered art behind the couch; the gorgeous chandelier; the black built-in shelves; the mix of old and new furniture; the hardwood floors; the big windows letting sunshine in...I could go on and on and on.  I also think there is a hint of "whimsy" in the room, which you know I'm all over.

Do you have an image that best describes your design style? If you want to participate in the challenge, click here.

Hi, Shannon! Thanks for being the first to meet the challenge! :) I've always liked this room too but I hadn't seen the other side. Seeing it like this, I think I like this room even better now. Are those Josef Frank pattern drapes I see? And I'm also spotting the window seat which I've actually posted before. I had no idea it was the same house, much less the same room so this post is a real treat. Thanks so much for playing along!

Those chairs are so cool. I'd love to see them in a dark room with a small round table in between them for reading. Those super large pillows make them even more inviting.

Fabulous! Love the mix of styles, periods, and lines. Those chairs and the windows are especially lovely!

Love this choice! The room is gorgeous, and I love that there is a touch of imperial trellis in there. Those chairs are yummy!
