Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room... where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am excited to have Lisa here, from her design blog A Room With A View. I enjoy Lisa's blog and approach to decorating, because she likes to blend different design styles and make them work together, while also incorporating items from her travels! I think that is a great way to approach design! Here is her blog header:
And here is the amazing post Lisa came up with!
Thank you, Amber, for inviting me to contribute to this fun series. My blog is called, A Room With A View. If one were to take the name of my blog literally, and if my blog were a room I would love to have a large window or french doors of some sort with a ton of natural light and a great view.

Thank you, Amber, for inviting me to contribute to this fun series. My blog is called, A Room With A View. If one were to take the name of my blog literally, and if my blog were a room I would love to have a large window or french doors of some sort with a ton of natural light and a great view.
It would be an elegant yet relaxing and casual room, eclectic with a global vibe and stylish at the same time. An inviting space where anyone would feel very welcome and would want to stay a while. The view, the furnishings and accessories would lend inspiration to all.
The pictures that follow have some of the elements my room would have.
Natural light, and a view or access to the outdoors. Here, the perfect relaxing window seat.
or a perfect, serene view like this.
French doors open to the outside.
In these eclectic spaces I like the mix of styles and colors, the accessories, built-in shelves, books and magazines and pillows.
I would love a fireplace.
Natural light, flowers, pattern mix.
Low seating, architectural interest (the beams), more pillows!
Magnificent built-in bookshelf and ladder.
I would pick a pretty color for the walls. I am into shades of grey at the moment so perhaps one of these from Benjamin Moore - Misty Memories or Winter Gray. Either would be a great backdrop to the colors in everything else.
Here is a collage of the main items I would love to incorporate in this space. Sources listed at end of post.
This collage showcases the accessories which will further warm up the room.
A gallery wall with tons of pictures.
and finally, some other important elements one might find are some fresh flowers...
.. and a cup of tea or coffee, perhaps in something from my blue-and-white collection...

Thank you, Amber, for allowing me to indulge in this post. I had fun putting it together.

Thanks, Lisa! I'm so glad you were a part of the series! I also have a blue and white china collection! And I love mixing different pattens and the rustic look of beams in a space. Definitely stop by Lisa's blog and say hello!
