All aboard the AT Fall Cure!

Alright, I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for group-based activities with time limits which make me do things I've been meaning to anyway; NaNoWriMo and I are old friends. And so it should come as no surprise that I'm hopping on board the Apartment Therapy Fall Cure (link in the sidebar).

"Before" pictures will come when the Cure is officially underway on Wednesday, the 5th, so for now you'll have to content yourself with a few images from what will become my style tray. I'm not going to try and source these, because most of them were saved during moments of web surfing which ended in "ooh, pretty..." but most of them are from AT.


I'm a sucker for large geometric shapes, blank floors, and huge windows. I don't know if I'd like to live in a space this austere--I am prone to clutter, after all--but it sure is beautiful to look at.


This space strikes the balance between a clean, airy style and a functional space. It is, if I remember the House Tour correctly, a part-time art gallery full-time home somewhere in California.


I love the unabashed (but also unpretentious) blending of modern and traditional furnishings which respects the individuality and integrity of each piece, and I love how they come together to shape a space which seems preeminently livable. I'm also partial to multiple seating areas.

That these are all images of living rooms, reading rooms, and gathering spaces suggests to me that these are the areas I should focus most on during the cure. That there are very few stylistic similarities between these three of my most ogled house photos suggests to me that I've got my work cut out for me in the weeks to come.
