Happy 4th of July holiday! We share what we’re up to this week, then revisit a favorite episode of ours from the archives, episode 3. It’s a big one--how and why to define your home style! 

Some questions we tackle and resources we cover:

• Why pick a style? 
• Why not just collect and decorate with all the stuff you like? 
• Are style quizzes worth the time? (Some we recommend: My Domaine home style, HGTV home style, My Domaine Spirit Pattern. Also, Home Edit Guides to home styles.) 
• How much is dictated by the house vs. by your style coming into it? 
• Some Instagram accounts that work with their home age/style: Grit and Polish, Emily Netz, Francois et Moi, Ashley @ The Gold Hive.
• Once you know your favorites, how to narrow down which ones will work in your home, and defining style by designer instead of just general aesthetic (examples: Amber Interiors, Studio McGee).

You can find us on our blogs or connect with each of us on Instagram. Suzannah is @suzannahstanley and Ashley is @biggerthanthethreeofus. Join the community in our Facebook group here!
