My Love of English Country Decor

I have been blogging for a little over two years now. When I think of decor styles in blogland, I think mostly French Country, Farmhouse Country, Junk Style and Contemporary. Am I wrong?

No open concept here. My living room has a white traditional fireplace mantel with dental molding and a gold and crystal chandelier (that I don't want to change). Antique furniture and accessories work well in my living room.
