I am a bit of both, to be honest...in some ways, I love a minimalist appeal, and in others, maxi. <br /><br />I especially love the dark, cozy den by Steven Gambrel! The goldenrod colored ceiling is a great touch -- I totally agree. The room feels masculine for some reason, and I just love it. I could live in that room, gloss especially :)<br /><br />Hope you're having a wonderful Monday.<br /><br />xoSarah Klassenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929770496186549808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-84330976200227010212010-05-03T07:53:01.592-05:002010-05-03T07:53:01.592-05:00I think I'm half maximalist and half minimalis...I think I'm half maximalist and half minimalist.

I just can't get on board with them, though. I like several of the designs you shared, but would like them more without the lacquer - I guess I find it distracting. In our small guest room I chose a satin finish for the chocolate-colored walls, and thoroughly regret the decision because it's just too shiny. Oh well - to each one's own!Laura@JourneyChichttp://journeychic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-56704144238018096812010-04-30T12:08:26.065-05:002010-04-30T12:08:26.065-05:00This has to be my favorite post...ever.
