It Would Seem I like Red

These are the things I'd like to decorate the barn loft apt with. Yes it would seem I like red a lot. 

I like all the fabrics below and hoped I could some of them in bedding, curtains, and/or pillows, though I've never tried to put this many fabrics together.

 Maybe I could make use of some denim.

So what the heck is my style? Country, campy, rustic, I don't know.

Minnow Bucket Lamp

I really like the idea of making a minnow bucket into a lamp. It goes with a fishing theme but is still vintage too. I can bring the curtain and/or bedding fabric into the lampshade too. I thought I had a unique idea but a quick google image search showed it's not original at all, really cute though.

Dancing Green

Is it just me, or is green paint especially hard to choose? I love green, it reminds me of nature and I would love to use it in the cabin if I can just get the color right. I'm trying to find a green light enough to go with pretty country pastels, but not too light to change it to a more masculine look later. I've tried green paint in the past and it came out both times lighter than I imagined. I'm trying not to do that again, but I want the room lighter/brighter. This is Sherwinn-William's Dancing Green, I keep coming back to it, over and over.
