What's your decorating "style"

This is our living room, now. Notice the Ikea LOL.

I'd call it early-American-garage-sale-grunge-eclectic. Outside of a washer, dryer, and deep freezer, we have not bought a new piece of furniture or major household item in 7 years. Fortunately this style is very kid friendly because all of our furniture doubles as springboard platforms, obstacle courses, and fort components.

Honestly, however, I'm a commitment phobe with style so I don't what I'll do if we ever reach a different financial bracket. I have painted every single wall in my house white. I'm afraid of making a mistake. Besides, since I don't pick out furniture but receive cast offs I can be sure that white matches everything and makes selling the townhome easier. Maybe I'll have some of my classier friends help me out in this department when we're done.

I'm classic with fun/functional flare...

I like Pottery Barn -- but like to add "kid friendly" flourishes when and where I can. I can't handle white walls --- not my thing so our main room is a "Paprika" color with a neutral Khacki color trim. We have a blue bathroom...the kids rooms are kids colors with white trim and my son's room has a different color wall than the other three. The window wall is like an accent but works with his rug.

I LOVE to decorate or make a space "my own" but of course money is an issue so I really look forward to post training checks and making our new space very comfortable. I long for overstuffed leather furniture with chunky area rugs in rich - warm colors.

I'm a minimalist. I don't like any kind of clutter, figurines, adorable little ceramic animals and the like. Our stuff is comfortable, I like warm tones with lots of color on the walls. I don't like fru-fru stuff like flowers or ornate things. I like Asian inspired stuff, which I suppose I can attribute to being married to one.

We like Ikea, too. I would describe our current style as "temporary apartment/utilitarian" but when we own a place I expect it will be decorated with clean lines and neutral colors.

Current place, in the summertime:

Living room/"Great Room"

Different angle, you can see a little of the bedroom

Kitchen

More kitchen

Marriage-saving office. Husband feet not included.

Sorry to be annoying, but are these links broken? I've clicked on them and they've worked, and I've also clicked on them and gotten a message that says "FORBIDDEN" (ha! forbidden kitchen!). I can't tell what everyone else is seeing.

If I copy and paste the URL into a new browser window they display fine.

Hmmm... I think we have the same desk, ...Ikea (gasp!) by any chance?

[Auspicious]

Yup, almost all of it is Ikea except the loveseat. We would probably have only two-by-fours and cinderblocks if it weren't for them. I love Ikea. :---
