			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week we’re mixing things up a bit (because we’re cool like that) and we’re bringing you another awesome installment of “Design Your Style,” the glorious segment where we showcase a specific style and show you lots of cool ways to incorporate it into your&nbsp;home.</p>
<p>Remember to take the <a href="http://www.sproost.com/StyleEngine" ><strong>online quiz</strong></a> to see what style suits you best and if you want a recap of the ones we’ve already covered, <a href="http://www.sproost.com/blog/category/design-styles/" ><strong>click here</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/inspiration/8-parisian-apartments-that-inspire-121869" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.apartmenttherapy.com');" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2590" title="apartment therapy 8 Parisian Apartments That Inspire" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/apartment-therapy-8-Parisian-Apartments-That-Inspire.jpg" alt="apartment therapy 8 Parisian Apartments That Inspire" width="430" height="430" /></a><br />
</span></strong></p>
<p>Flea Market anyone? You know you are drawn to modern furniture and interiors, and yet you really don’t like a space that feels cold and sterile. This first room by Apartment Therapy is anything but&nbsp;sterile.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/roundup/roundup-midwestern-fireplaces-074439" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.apartmenttherapy.com');" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-2543 aligncenter" title="Apartment therapy Roundup Midwestern Fireplaces" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Apartment-therapy-Roundup-Midwestern-Fireplaces.jpg" alt="Apartment therapy Roundup Midwestern Fireplaces" width="378" height="283" /></a></p>
<p>And who could blame you? And that’s why Vintage Modern is so appealing to you. You get to mix the old with the new, like in this hip&nbsp;living:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/green-ideas/nolita-penthouse-rooftop-garden-new-york-magazine-101208-066597" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.apartmenttherapy.com');" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-2554 aligncenter" title="apt therapy 10-16-nolita-penthouse-5" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/apt-therapy-10-16-nolita-penthouse-5.jpg" alt="apt therapy 10-16-nolita-penthouse-5" width="378" height="291" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Though the backdrop of the room, the walls and windows, are many times white or monochromatic, the furniture and accessories have the color, shape and texture to bring the warmth into the space. This room has all three and it really stands out against the neutral wall&nbsp;color.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/roundup/inside-10-brooklyn-homes-house-tour-roundup-096990" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.apartmenttherapy.com');" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-2556 aligncenter" title="apt therapy Inside 10 Brooklyn Homes" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/apt-therapy-Inside-10-Brooklyn-Homes.jpg" alt="apt therapy Inside 10 Brooklyn Homes" width="324" height="219" /></a></p>
<p>The great thing about Vintage Modern is ease of mixing different styles in the one space. With this room in Australia, you have the modern coffee table and flooring mixed with the retro look of the larger furniture. And it works&nbsp;great!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/roundup/revisiting-the-best-of-australia-india-house-tour-roundup-097930" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.apartmenttherapy.com');" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-2558 aligncenter" title="apt therapy Revisiting the Best of Australia India2" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/apt-therapy-Revisiting-the-Best-of-Australia-India2.jpg" alt="apt therapy Revisiting the Best of Australia India2" width="378" height="378" /></a></p>
<p>What’s great is that even if you don’t have time for swap meets and garage sales, so many of the pieces from the mid-century were so great that they have been remade and mimicked year after year. In this sitting area, the chairs are a throwback to the 1950s era but with modern&nbsp;fabric.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/look/roundup-of-the-2009-fall-mak-architecture-tour-097664" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.apartmenttherapy.com');" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-2561 aligncenter" title="Apt therapy Roundup of the 2009 Fall MAK Architecture Tour" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Apt-therapy-Roundup-of-the-2009-Fall-MAK-Architecture-Tour.JPG" alt="Apt therapy Roundup of the 2009 Fall MAK Architecture Tour" width="324" height="215" /></a></p>
<p>The other great thing about Vintage Modern is how low maintenance it can be—fabrics such as cotton, microfiber or ultra-suede and leather all look great and function even better. This gray-toned room is full of soft and smooth textures—all low&nbsp;maintenance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/living-room/conversational-living-rooms-087769?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+apartmenttherapy/chicago+(Chicago)" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.apartmenttherapy.com');" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-2563 aligncenter" title="Conversational Living Rooms from Apartment Therapy Chicago by Sarah Coffey" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Conversational-Living-Rooms-from-Apartment-Therapy-Chicago-by-Sarah-Coffey1.jpg" alt="Conversational Living Rooms from Apartment Therapy Chicago by Sarah Coffey" width="377" height="494" /></a></p>
<p>You can have a fun leather sofa mixed with mismatched retro chairs and the new and old work and appear as though they were destined for each&nbsp;other.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://decor8blog.com/2009/02/06/how-much-for-this-room/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/decor8blog.com');" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2568" title="decor8 lori andrews" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/decor8-lori-andrews1.jpg" alt="decor8 lori andrews" width="368" height="246" /></a></p>
<p>When it comes to color, walls are seen as backdrops for the room. This light wall showcases the animal theme. I would definitely not jump up and down on that&nbsp;couch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://decorology.blogspot.com/2008/10/juxtaposed-dwell-and-traditional-homes.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/decorology.blogspot.com');" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2572" title="decorology juxtaposed ARCH_DW1107_SGL_05-1" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/decorology-juxtaposed-ARCH_DW1107_SGL_05-1.jpg" alt="decorology juxtaposed ARCH_DW1107_SGL_05-1" width="417" height="513" /></a></p>
<p>Because the style harkens back to the early twentieth century, the innovative developed during that time are very popular: acrylic, plastic and fiberglass, chrome and steel, and molded plywood.  This room from Decorology showcases seating in all types of&nbsp;materials.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://decorology.blogspot.com/2008/10/making-open-floor-plan-feel-lived-in.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/decorology.blogspot.com');" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2574" title="decorology Making an open floor-plan feel lived in main-6" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/decorology-Making-an-open-floor-plan-feel-lived-in-main-6.jpg" alt="decorology Making an open floor-plan feel lived in main-6" width="330" height="330" /></a></p>
<p>Neutral tones of gray, white, beige and brown are very common and black is a common accent color. This room from Skonahem uses the darker shades in wall color and furnishings but because the ceiling and wainscoting is a bright white, the room still looks light and&nbsp;open.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.skonahem.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.skonahem.com');" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2578" title="sconahem swan chairs" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sconahem-swan-chairs.jpeg" alt="sconahem swan chairs" width="336" height="232" /></a></p>
<p>Pops of color on the art, furniture and accessories can vary dramatically based on the person, however very common colors are teal blues, army greens, and yellow, as well as deep oranges and bright reds. This room, also from Skonahem, uses orange and red as accent&nbsp;colors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.skonahem.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.skonahem.com');" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2582" title="skonahem2 Samlad stil i citypärlan" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/skonahem2-Samlad-stil-i-citypärlan.jpg" alt="skonahem2 Samlad stil i citypärlan" width="303" height="420" /></a></p>
<p>So whether you are having a cocktail party with friends, or kids are in the picture, the room and the furnishings can handle it. And with all these awesome vintage findings, who wouldn’t want to have a cocktail party&nbsp;here?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/trending/trending-vintage-finds-with-stan-williams-084881" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.apartmenttherapy.com');" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2584" title="Trending- Vintage &quot;Finds&quot; with Stan Williams from Apartment Therapy Los Angeles by gregory" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Trending-Vintage-Finds-with-Stan-Williams-from-Apartment-Therapy-Los-Angeles-by-gregory.jpg" alt="Trending- Vintage &quot;Finds&quot; with Stan Williams from Apartment Therapy Los Angeles by gregory" width="378" height="284" /></a></p>
<p>Concrete floors, countertops, and furniture are also very popular and lacquered finishes are very common. You’ll often see lacquered woods in flooring and&nbsp;furniture.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/hot-posts/before-after-the-brick-house-and-more-los-angeles-hot-posts-for-22110-109314" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.apartmenttherapy.com');" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2592" title="Before &amp; After, The Brick House and More Los Angeles Hot Posts for 2.21.2010 from Apartment Therapy Los Angeles by Gregory Han 1" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Before-amp-After-The-Brick-House-and-More-Los-Angeles-Hot-Posts-for-2.21.2010-from-Apartment-Therapy-Los-Angeles-by-Gregory-Han-1.jpg" alt="Before &amp; After, The Brick House and More Los Angeles Hot Posts for 2.21.2010 from Apartment Therapy Los Angeles by Gregory Han 1" width="264" height="265" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You’re probably all aware that October is breast cancer awareness month. And I hope that even if you don’t care for pink, you’re sporting it proudly in your outfits, accessories, homes, and offices. More than likely, you know someone who has been affected by breast cancer (women and men of all ages are diagnosed with breast cancer every day), and while there’s not a cure yet, each day we’re one step closer to eradicating this disease. For more information on preventative screenings, research, and to learn how you can help in the fight against breast cancer, please visit Susan G.

<p>And now back to your regularly scheduled program. PINK! No, it doesn’t have to be a particular shade. In this room by Ronique Gibson, just a few touches of a purplish-pink do the&nbsp;trick.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://freshome.com/2010/09/28/10-home-staging-tricks-to-help-your-home-sell-quicker/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/freshome.com');" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2473" title="10 Home Staging Tricks to Help Your Home Sell Quicker from Interior Design, Home &amp; House Design, Furniture by RoniqueGibson" src="http://www.sproost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/10-Home-Staging-Tricks-to-Help-Your-Home-Sell-Quicker-from-Interior-Design-Home-House-Design-Furniture-by-RoniqueGibson.jpg" alt="10 Home Staging Tricks to Help Your Home Sell Quicker from Interior Design, Home &amp; House Design, Furniture by RoniqueGibson" width="353" height="263" /></a></p>

<p>This room from Cool Hunting isn’t shy about pink. Or about the lighting. Check out the awesome light&nbsp;fixtures.</p>

<p>It’s not Barbie’s house but it could be yours. This pretty pink kitchen is from 6<sup>th</sup> Street Design School. Jealous&nbsp;much?</p>

<p>Pink is most associated with the feminine mystique and all the wonderful things that go along with that but it’s also associated with romance, charm, a playful nature, and strength. Sounds like a great reason to use pink in your bedroom. Thanks, Design&nbsp;Sponge.</p>

<p>Ok, so I admit I’m not a huge fan of pink (hold your tomatoes). It’s because I wore it so much when I was little that I think I overdosed (think of hot pink and neon green shirts complete with stirrup pants and side ponytail). But I would totally steal this&nbsp;door.</p>

<p>A little pink in your workspace makes it fun and you can’t possibly be in a bad mood when you sit on this pink bench…or that yellow chair. Instant no-pout zone thanks to&nbsp;Décor8.</p>

<p>The great peeps at Design Milk showcased this Spanish room and I think the stripes of color on the ceiling is a great way to bring some personality to a large open&nbsp;room.</p>

<p>I would have stolen a truck-load of Girl Scout cookies when I was 8 to have this room. I can just imagine the pajama parties. Not a safe feather pillow in the&nbsp;house.</p>

<p>Spiral staircase of joy, courtesy Apartment Therapy. My question is…how many calories do you think you could burn running up and down this for 15 minutes? Totally worth&nbsp;it.</p>

<p>Here’s another fun table from Design Crisis. I also really like the blue lamp.&nbsp;Fun!</p>

<p>It’s oh-so-subtle but I love the light pink shades of the wall and&nbsp;chair.</p>

<p>Here’s a great idea if you just don’t want to paint an entire room pink (and good for your for not succumbing to the begging). Use pink for furniture and bedding. She’ll probably change her mind next year and want purple&nbsp;anyway.</p>

<p>Chic and sleek. I like the pink against the salmon-colored wall. It’s feminine but the clean lines and limited patterns make the room seem larger than it&nbsp;is.</p>

<p>This summer house is easy as can be to decorate. Just change the accent pillows and a few accessories around and you’re ready for any&nbsp;season.</p>

<p>A bright note to end on: an orange and pink bedroom by Apartment Therapy. It’s so happy, you wouldn’t even mind your kids jumping on the&nbsp;bed.</p>
