[autumn star]

My house is decorated southwestern. Not boots and wagon wheels or rustic or western but light and soft colors!
Well I have decided that it is time to redecorate. I love my southwestern but want a change. In an ideal world I would just take EVERYTHING down and start from scratch but in a realistic world (when redecorating is not cheap) that is not possible. I will have to do slowly over the next year.
What other type of decor can I start replacing it w/that will have some sort of flow and not look like a complete missed matched mess?
I will tell you that I am not a fan of contemperary or very modern. I do like the french country look or the country look of the reds and greens and yellowish gold hints. I am not pig and cow fan, not that type of country. I do like the Italian Villa or spanish inspired look!
I feel like I am at a loss and this is usually my strong point, I have helped many of my friends decorate their own home but for some reason I am having such a hard time w/my own!
I will attach some photo's so you can see what I am dealing with!
Thanks to anyone willing to try and help me out!!!!
