I've had my own apartment here on the beach for a while now and I love it. Due to some extremely unfortunate circumstances, I'm moving back in with my parents next month. It's only 10 minutes away from the beach, but still, I'll miss being right across the street.
Anyways, I have a wide variety of styles I like. And the western/horse theme I had going on before isn't cutting it for me anymore. I'm considering a few things:
1. Beach theme- the walls would be painted a light blue and an off white. I'd put in white furniture. I think this theme might make me feel more 'at home' because this beach truly feels like my home now. And the decor might be reminiscent of this- http://cache-images.pronto.com/thumb2.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.pronto.com%2Fimages%2Fproduction%2Fproducts%2Ff0%2Fcd%2Fhome937d6a95a3ea3f5962be0d47d9c9-1270899898_560x407.jpg&wmax=180&hmax=180&quality=80&bgcol=FFFFFF
2. Dark Red/Orange- Orange is my favorite color by far and I'd love to be surrounded by it. I'd paint the walls a deep reddish orange and put some dark cherry wood furniture in OR put in some wrought iron furniture and give it a Mediterranean feel. I love Mediterranean architecture and decor. This picture really inspires me, particularly the wine rack on the wall, although the color of my walls would be a much more rich red/orange - http://s3.hubimg.com/u/736506_f496.jpg
3. Retro/Car Theme- I've always thought I was born in the wrong decade. I'm 18 and have a nice vinyl collection. I'm also a HUGE car fan and when I was in high school ceramics I made some actually awesome pieces that could go into a retro room. Mostly including 57 Chevy Bel airs, 50s-2010 Corvettes (including the 70s stingray) and 60s-2010 mustangs (excluding the fox body and 90s crap stangs XD). Think - http://imagecache6.allposters.com/LRG/8/881/SAYJ000Z.jpg I'd also display my record collection and maybe make a wall piece out of records. This idea just seems a little more juvenile to me and I'm not sure what colors I'd paint the walls or what furniture pieces I'd get.
Those are the ideas at the top of my list. What's your opinion?
