Interiors // Heidi Merrick's (girly/not-so-girly) home

Just the other day, as I was perusing Glitter Guide's Style at Home archives, I came across Heidi Merrick's gorgeous abode. Even though I've seen it before and those beautiful shots have floated around Pinterest ever since, seeing it in its entirety let me view it with fresh eyes. And so I fell in love with each and every crisp, eclectic space all over again.

Stylish, comfortable, simple, relaxed and not overtly feminine, although there are plenty of girly elements. Truth be told, this is something I've struggled with as I've decorated our home. I shy away from uber feminine looks because I don't want Eric to feel like he's living in an overstyled vagina. But without a few feminine elements, you have yourself a very cold and unapproachable space, and no one wants that either. Quite the balancing act really. 

Heidi's space reminded me of this bit more masculine one, which I've never been able to get quite enough of either.

I'm probably just overthinking the whole thing. Fuchsia flowers seem to go a long way.
