New Room Project {Inspirations}

I have a feeling this topic is going to be taking over my blog for a while!  I told you I was going to try and explain my new decorating style, and I think this photo really explains a lot.  I've fallen in love with the clothing store "Billy Reid".  They have the most amazing men & womens clothing and the interior design of their stores is beyond amazing.  I've always been a fan of vintage, antique, anything old.  But after my move to the South, I've gained a new love for a very rustic, masculine, old Southern look.  And this store just embodies that entire style.  I've always been attracted to the shabby chic look, but I'm not a big fan of pink and frilly things.  I do love the style though, don't get me wrong!  I love to see it in stores and in other peoples homes.  It's just not my cup of tea right now. 

The main thing I love about this photo is the wall.  I don't think I will have an entire deer head on my wall...I think that would be scary.  But, I am going to buy some antlers instead because I do love the look of them.  And, I know an innocent dear was not killed for my interior design choices!  I have also started collecting plates to put up around them. 

I don't know why I am so drawn to this look, but I really love it.  So I guess I'll be steering away from all of the white furniture, and leaning more towards darker woods and marble.  My Mom is giving me this awesome plant stand table that was my Great Grandmothers.  It is dark wood with a round marble top, so clearly it's exactly what I am looking for!  I also have seen a lot of this furniture in antique stores.  So I think it will be fairly easy to acquire.  The rugs on the other hand, might not be so easy.  Most of those old rugs sell for hundreds and usually thousands of dollars.  So I'm going to have to get creative with that!  Much more inspiration photo's to come...
