What’s Your Style in One Picture Challenge III
June 15, 2010 | 69 comments
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has finally come! It’s the return of the FTRB “What’s Your Style in One Picture Challenge!”
In short, the challenge is to find one picture that sums up your design style. I issued the very first challenge in March 2009 and the second one in July 2009.
For my picture, I hate to use this one because I’ve posted it like every other day but it really does sum me up so perfectly!
Why? It’s the perfect mix of old and new and different styles and I love every single thing in it: the architectural details, dark hardwood floors, French doors, pale gray walls with white trim, stunning fireplace, Empire chandelier, English rolled arm sofa, modern white coffee table, Beni Ourain rug, contemporary photography, gilt mirror, shot of yellow. Like I said, every. Single. Thing. See why I had to choose it?
So, now it’s your turn. For this challenge, we’re getting even fancier and including pictures. Here is what you do:
1. Post your one picture on your blog with a link back to this challenge.
2. Click on the red “Click here to enter” button below and follow the steps to upload your photo and link. Be sure to provide the URL of your blog post (not your general blog) so it will be easier for people to find.
Please follow these instructions or your entries cannot be included, okay?* And this challenge is open indefinitely so come back anytime to add your post!
Now go find your picture! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
*If you don’t see your picture here, make sure you follow the 2 steps and try again.

I love your picture, I would be hard pressed to pick just one!! I’ll think about it and if one comes to mind I’ll link up! I’ll be back anyway to see what others link to…Janell

Since the day I discovered your blog and saw your one picture challenge, I’ve been trying to settle on something I love that much. So far, I’ve been unsuccessful. But I’m renewing my efforts today so I hope to be back with a photo.

This is so hard! It’t hard to pick just one picture, because I love every picture that have made in to my blog. Or maybe the perfect picture is still waiting for me somewhere?
June 15th, 2010 @ 1:02 pm
babe. I love, love your style room. even more after your lovely description of the elements. Check out Shelter (blogspot) today; Julie has another view of the same room styled a little differently; you have probably seen it as well. beautiful.
will you continue this tomorrow? I want to look for my room…! Thanks, babe! Donna
June 15th, 2010 @ 1:19 pm
Hey, everyone, I know it’s hard (hence, the “challenge” part) but that’s part of the fun! So I hope you’ll participate!
Donna: Sorry I didn’t make it clear. This challenge is open indefinitely.
June 15th, 2010 @ 1:20 pm
Oh this was so fun! This room that I uploaded is always on the back of my mind and on my desktop.
June 15th, 2010 @ 3:37 pm
I am VERY interested in who the photographer was who took that picture hanging on the wall. Do you have any idea?

Oh, Ally – you stole my picture (kidding!) Love it though and I am also having a hard time narrowing it down to one photo that has elements that I love. I will be linking up though!

I have just the picture! Will post it on my blog and link to it shortly. Love this challenge! I actually posted the photo on my blog back in February with the title “I found it -the perfect room for me.”
Fun!

Too funny! I was just thinking I have a photo that I think describes my style even better than the first one I posted. I was going to email you and see if I could post a new one. =) So I am going to link up.

I did it, and it was so fun! One of the goals for blogging is to help “narrow down” my style, and start to see it flow, so this was just perfect.

I wanted to thank you for this contest. I somehow stumbled across it and spent around 4 hours looking into the many entries. This was my first foray into design blogs and after all that time, I decided to start my own. Not necessarily a design blog, but a blog with some design stuff all the same. I’m no expert, but I love pretty houses (Who doesn’t?). So thank you for the contest and opening my eyes to a whole new world of pretty things.

there are millions of pictures i could upload, but i guess this ones brings together many things i love: materials, colour, light, symmetry and classic shapes. this space was designed in the 30’s but couldn’t be more timeless. thanks for such great blog. you’re an inspiration to us all.
