If, for example, you followed Joy's lead and put a red teakettle in there -- it would be so cute but would lose the minimal feel. So I can definitely see how this idea could work.&nbsp;</p> <p>Several years ago, I saw a scarf that i wanted to knit but never did, sadly. It was made from about 6 different creamy white knotty wools, so it ended up being big, loose, textured, and all shades of white. It was incredibly beautiful. It's immediately what I think of when I hear minimal-bohemian-neutral. It's a very peaceful place, very natural. Sounds like a great way to live post-disaster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-in-on-style#post-1724392 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 14:37:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1724392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Traci- I checked her out and am now following her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-in-on-style#post-1724350 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 12:34:12 +0000 Traci 1724350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The kitchen photo reminds me of some of the Scandinavian home decor blogs.</p> <p>I can't find it now, but a while back I found a home decor picture labeled minimalist boho that really spoke to me. I'd previously thought of those two descriptors as opposites, but the picture of a bedroom with clean lines, neutral, natural colors and minimal adornments was a revelation.</p> <p>Have you ever read the blog unfancy? I think she does minimal and boho beautifully. She was all capsules all the time for a couple of years, but now she is focusing more on less purchases of higher more ethically made items.</p> <p>The biggest unifier I've found when looking at more minimal boho decor and fashion is a more limited and more neutral color palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-in-on-style#post-1724336 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 10:07:55 +0000 Sally 1724336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice decor. I crave minimalism too thought I'm too messy in my home. Your outfit sounds bohemian bUT simple. A pic would be good. As Joy said when things seem out of control. It's good to have something you can control </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-in-on-style#post-1724307 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 05:40:47 +0000 Anonymous 1724307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. I would think "minimal" and "Bohemian" would be opposites. Your pallet looks clean and calming, although I want to add a red teakettle or stockpot to that stove.<br /> You are in a situation caused by something out of your control. You are re-establishing control in your life starting with these decisions. excellent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrowing-in-on-style#post-1724271 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 02:35:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1724271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I am filling in the gaps in our home left by damage from the fire, and re-decorating, I am having some ideas that apply to both my interior design and my fashion style. I have been moving in a certain direction without really defining it, but wanting to search for things I need and inspiration pictures has caused me to hone in on the words which bring up what I am looking for:<br /> Neutral<br /> Minimal<br /> Bohemian<br /> I think this describes both my home decor and clothing style lately. In the apartment I am combining lots of shades of brown with taupes, cream, white, black, natural fibers, texture and plants. In my wardrobe, I am moving in a similar direction. I have never been a tee shirt and jeans kind of gal, but now those outfits are some of my favorites. The other day I wore my light wash cropped skinny destroyed boyfriend jeans with a black V neck tee (semi-tucked), a caramel colored belt with brass buckle and matching laser cut sandals with bronzy make up and I felt so ME. I am wearing a lot of neutral combinations and feeling very good about them. It's been an interesting exercise replacing so much so quickly but it has lead to good food for thought. </p>
