My surroundings match me. It

My surroundings match me. It's a blend of different stuff: my grandmother's furniture (china cabinet, stuff my grandfather had made), a bit of southwestern (sofas), some ranchlike western (windmills, pictures, frames), and country (cute little whimsy things from craft fairs, dining table and entertainment center). Also some rustic with 60ish flare (the brick of the fireplace that spans one whole wall in the living room). The walls are paneling, which I hate but DH loves, so I will live with it. Either til I wear him down or until he goes deer hunting for a week and I do it behind his back and risk divorce. LOL!

No, it doesn't all go together. But until I win the lottery (or we have a REALLY good crop with good prices some year, chances are probably the same), that's just the way it will be. Sure, I would love for it to match more. It's just not reality for us.

But it's us. Me and my family. We are making memories with what we got. Besides, it's just becoming MY style. I don't know anything about styles and periods. LOL!
