  1. I love mixing the antiques with modern style – clean lines and a sense of history. I think they are calling it transitional!

  2. Old World with a little Urban Oasis

  3. I grew up around old world styling and was drawn to the warmth of antique, country charm. Currently I find myself captivated by the clean sleek lines of modern urban chic. I really do think that there is a way to combine all of these elements without a home appearing to be a mishmash mess. I turn to HGTV designers for all of their great ideas to try to make it happen!

  5. I am definitely more of a Biltmore girl. I like the details and workmanship put into the architecture and furnishings. The sleek lines of the NY appartment are to sterile for me.

  7. I'm liking the neotraditional style of architecture, the New Urbanism style. The Seaside community in Florida is a great example.
