living spaces: soft/feminine

i always gravitate towards  very clean, modern traditional

spaces, but as i was scanning my "living room/family room"

folder, i noticed that there were distinct themes--

while all of the pictures 

that i tore out had a clean, modern traditional feel,

some were very soft and feminine, 

while others were more masculine, eclectic, coastal or even 

leaning towards a modern country look.

here are the spaces i thought fit in that

"soft and feminine" catagory:

that cut velvet pillow is beautiful, and i

am loving the trim on the drapery panels.

while i wouldn't say that this room is

exactly "my style", i thought it was enchanting.

the color palette is just dreamy, 

and i love the mixture of the furniture.

can't you just imagine reading a book here, or eating brunch?

this is actually an ad, but the colors and textures 
always stopped me dead in my tracks, so i had to include it.

serene.

i love the look of an all-white room, but i don't think i could

ever pull it off in my own home. i love color too  much!

another stunning all-white room.

i loved how bright and cheery this room is!

and don't get me started on the sunburst mirror...

i was really intrigued by how much of this blue floral

fabric was used in this room...not something that i would

normally do, but it really works here and looks beautiful!

that antique mirror really makes this room come to life.

i just thought this one was lovely...the huge orchids, 

the columns, the soft curtains and the

chair and table make such a pretty vingnette.
