my inner bohemia?

Ever since stumbling upon Bohemian Valhalla, 

I'm convinced I have a little "Bohemia"

in my stylistic genes!

 

Take my eating area, for instance.

Yes, all these patterns are present in this one room!

 

Believe me, I've tried the whites and pastels.

Even have an example or two here and there...

But it is the warmth of dark wood, vintage textiles and patterns

that "call my name"!

All the time.

 

I don't know where it will end.

I don't even know all "Bohemia" means.

I just know I like it.

This week I plan to learn a bit more to see if it's actually "me",

or if there's another name for "it".  

I can use all the help and explanations I can get!

Says K. Stone:

Bohemian style decorating is all about living simply and expressing one's creativity throughout the design. The Bohemian way of life is traditionally linked with free thinking counterculture and is influenced by the gypsy lifestyle. Inspiration for this type of décor comes from the art colonies of nineteenth century Europe where musicians, actors, artists, and writers converged into avant-garde communities.
