Feeling very "Kelly Wearstler"

I have been sick for the last few days, so I have had a lot of time to think about a lot of things.  One of those things is my kitchen.  I am meeting with a potential designer of my kitchen soon, so I have been trying to organize my thoughts regarding what I want.  I would like to give her a photo of a kitchen and say, "I like this style."  But I can't find it.  So, I am compiling photos of various items that just have the feeling that I like. 

I love Kelly Wearstler's sense of style in both fashion and home design.  It is beautiful, bold and quirky but also approachable.  Here I have put together a collage representing a possible design style for my kitchen... using fashion (including a few pieces from Ms. Wearstler's own line) -

Minimalism

I would like to end this year with less stuff than I have now and to have a smaller, more focused wardrobe.  However, with regard to my wardrobe, I don't really know where to focus.  I feel like my tastes change so often.  I am hoping a common theme will emerge over this year. 

Last night, I was reading "I Love Your Style - How to Define and Refine Your Personal Style" by Amanda Brooks.  She discusses different styles - Classic, Bohemian, Minimal, High Fashion, Street, Eclectic.  I don't think I have to go with just one style, but I was immediately drawn to these photos in "Minimal" -

Then I woke up this morning really wanting a pair of black snakeskin ballet flats.  I guess my subconscious thought is that if I'm only going to have a few items in my closet, they should be simple, well-made and beautiful.  I'm a little surprised by that feeling, because I'm usually drawn to what is bright and flashy.  Do you like the "Minimal" style?
