I’ve always said that I don’t feel like much of a homemaker yet. But lately, I’ve been interested in interior design and home furniture, all in anticipation of our big move and, eventually, the construction of our own home.
I’m experiencing split personality though with all the designs I’ve been browsing. Part of me wants classic beautiful furniture while part of me veers toward modern chic stuff.

Actually, I want the second choices more (the console bookshelves are my favorite! 
) but I feel like they would be more appropriate for my own pink house rather than a family home.
Kernan says he wants the house to be simple, stylish and minimalist. I like stylish but I want a healthy dose of color and a little bit of flair.
Anyway, we still have a couple of years to plan our dream home. Maybe we could plan a house that has different themed rooms so we can satisfy each other’s style cravings.
What kind of home style do you prefer: classic and beautiful or modern and chic?

I want a mixture of classic and modern. Like the house be modern while the furnishing be classic or the other way around. Zen is in but how about having zen with colors
