If My Blog Was A Room – Next Up – Plain & Fancy Living

March 30, 2011 by Amber Filed Under: Uncategorized Leave a Comment

It’s Wednesday and time for the series… If My Blog Was A Room, where the challenge is to think about your blog as an actual space! What would it look like? I am so happy to have Amy here today from her wonderful blog, Plain & Fancy Living. I have been following her blog for a while, and I love seeing her amazing DIY projects and beautiful style. I am so happy to have met her through blogging! Here is her great blog header:
And here is what she came up with. Take it away, Amy!
Hello Simple Dwellings readers! I am Amy from Plain & Fancy Living and I am so happy to be a part of this cool series, “If My Blog Was A Room”.  My style is just the same as the name of my blog.  I like to have a real mix in my design selections, some plain and some fancy.
I like a clean look with open floor plans, lots of natural light, mixed metals and finishes.  I think opposites attract in most cases and design is no exception.  My blog house would be like a relaxing vacation spot with lots of style yet warm and inviting.

I would have a bold piece of artwork to contrast traditional style furnishings.

I think it is hard to beat a white kitchen. My blog would have big open windows and doors exposing the outdoors on a sunny day letting all the fresh air inside.

I would have to have stripes somewhere in my blog room for sure.  Every room can use a good stripe. I would have stylish seating throughout the space.

My blog room would be a balanced space. I have a “thing” for being symmetrical. 
  
I prefer to keep the paint colors in my house neutral while adding color and pattern with fun fabrics that can be changed when I am ready. My blog room would be rearranged and redecorated when I fell in love with a new color and pattern.



Thanks so much for letting me be part of your series Amber!

Thank you so much, Amy! The spaces are beautiful! I also love stripes, symmetry and a white kitchen. And I’m with you on changing things up after falling for a new color and pattern! If you haven’t been to Amy’s wonderful blog, definitely check it out!

I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades, no matter which way you walk into the room. The glow is so pretty at night and it transformed that original to the home chandelier! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #bhghome #hgtv #myballardstyle #yespb #sharemygrandin #diningroom #livingroom

The chandelier looks so much bigger for this space. The second image shows the before, so you can also compare! Sometimes, you don’t have to replace the whole light fixture. One new, small idea can make all the difference. Thanks so much @frontgate #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #hgtv #bhghome #loveyourhabitat #diningroom
I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive for our dining room fixture. This light was here when we moved in and I think adding the cream shades will make the chandelier look bigger in scale and just give it a new look! Stay tuned… #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #sharemygrandin #yespb #myballardstyle #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #diningroom

It has been through wind, rain and lots of sunshine and still has that beautiful navy blue color. I wasn’t able to find the exact one, but my Like to Know It page has two very similar options! And if you need me, I’ll be here all weekend! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #poolside
