Rustic Kitchen...

I love hints of rusticity in kitchens - it adds that perfect touch of country!

I'm curious... which kitchen best suites you and why?

Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Nancy Fishelson

I know you all have seen this home many many times, but this home is truly one of the most warm, timeless, beautiful places I have seen!

Rosebush Farm is on twenty acres in Litchfield county, Ct.  Nancy Fishelson is the genius behind this charming home and just recently sold it... dang!  For four years she lived here putting her heart and soul into the structure, creating one of the most famous homes in my opinion!

I love Nancy's vision - she favors neutral palettes with hints of color through timeless antiques, allowing the space to be perfectly balanced while still having a bit of surprise.

This home makes me think of taking time to slow down to just sit back and breath.

Have a wonderful Saturday!

The Indoor Shutter... Brilliant!

Many of you know Brooke Giannetti with Gianetti home design!  

Both Brooke and her husband Steve are drawing up their beautiful dream home out in the country!

I can't tell you how much fun I have had looking at images and sketches of this soon to be amazing home out in the country... my dream!

My husband and I have our home on the market for the same reasons!  We are planning on moving to a charming little town called Midway; it's about fifteen minutes from Park City, Utah and has so many wonderful outdoor opportunities for our little family.

Brooke has posted several images of brilliant ideas, one of those ideas is using true authentic shutters inside the home:

These shutters add so much warmth and character while at the same time letting the perfect amount of light in when needed... what do you think?

Hope you are all enjoy your Spring Break!!

Spring...

I found so much enjoyment as I sat out in the sun flipping through my Cote Sud Magazines yesterday!

The images of Provence with its fields of lavender and sun drenched country sides filled my soul with excitement for Spring!

I love carefree simple living!

A Charming California Home!

I came across this perfect California home designed by Nancy Fishelson.  I absolutely love her inventive, creative style; there is so much texture and contrast to every room.   This is a home I would never want to leave!!
