"I purchased my house about 2 years ago, and am finally getting down to the remodeling part of it - yea! Trouble is that I haven't decided on a style to go with. I really have no preferences whatsoever when it comes to home furnishings. All I know is that I really don't care for anything called modern or stuff with crazy Swedish names. (but I am partial to old medieval stuff...)
"Since I am unable to make a decision about a decorating style, I was hoping to let the house make the decision for me. I live in a big brick house in (Northeast) Youngstown, Ohio. The house was built in 1927 (least that is what the tax office shows) and it doesn't really fit any of the styles that are posted on the Internet.
"The house is square, and built on a hill. The garage is attached to the house- behind it- and the man door enters into the basement. The garage roof is flat and has a french door that leads on to it from the room behind the dining room. There is a large stone fireplace in the front room (living room maybe?) and the windows there are the swing in type 12-panel glass with arched windows above them.
"Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. From the outside the upstairs looks like a dormer, but the ceilings throughout the house are all 10 foot high. Oh, there is also some kind of plaster cove moulding in the dining room and front room.
"I have no idea what kind of house it is or what to decorate it like. Any help about period pieces would be helpful, or any assistance about the style would be appreciated as well."
