What Is Stylish Simplicity?
To me it means clean, modern lines, without the coldness associated with minimalism. There’s room for different eras and a variety of textures.
Stylish Simplicity allows craftsmanship to shine. The great bones of a home are not overwhelmed by an explosion of ornate decoration.
I love the elemental, classic, and yet contemporary, aesthetic of Stylish Simplicity. It doesn’t have to be boring. In this aesthetic, a touch of the unexpected really stands out. For example, a chandelier placed in the bathroom will pop more than one placed in the dining room.
It’s an appreciation for beauty in objects we may see every single day. In a fast-paced world it’s easy to overlook the drop dead gorgeous design of the items above.
What do the words Stylish Simplicity say to you?





Very beautiful Arlene! Look forward to reading your thoughts and getting inspired.
Thank you guapie!
Hi, you once wrote me a lovely response to a question I had about moving abroad (I was living in LA, now in DC). I just went to see what you’ve been up to on sistergirltales and it directed me here. Congratulations on your various successes, and great to see this new blog. Who doesn’t love a stylish life? Very excited to follow you!.
Thank you, Janice!
Hope you’re enjoying living in DC.
I love simplicity with a flair. The lamp especially speaks to me.
I’m a big fan of Ilaria’s lamps. This one is my favorite.
