... Treasure Trove

I can't not tell you how much I love 18th century Swedish Antiques!  One of my favorite Swedish antique dealers in Atlanta is A. Tyner Antiques - here I was able to locate a beautiful Mora clock, which has been my favorite piece in my home.

I just recently came across a beautiful blog which has a treasure trove of beautiful images of 18th century Swedish antiques!  I can study this blog all day - it's call Master Henricks.  Below are some images from his blog, showing images of his beautiful collection of 18th century antiques collected from his home in the South of Sweden... enjoy!

Don't you just love the simple, soothing design and aesthetic of Swedish design?  Nothing to me speaks beauty more than the Gustavian period.

Chalky...

If I could design the perfect country cottage - I would use these combinations:

Nothing says country more to me than Scandinavian design!

Here comes another Monday!  I hope yours is a good one!

Earthy and Simple...

I can't get over these beautiful images of timeless simplicity!  

... I love nothing more

Have a wonderful week!

Elements Of Reclaimed wood

We just sold our home and we are now in the process of building a French inspired home in Midway, Ut.

We are so excited to get out into the country and now we're trying to compile visuals that will help compliment a French country home.

I'm so excited to bring you along our journey as I show you detailed images of our upcoming project!

We just barely turned in our plans to the city and hopefully we'll get the go ahead in a couple of weeks!

This particular home is somewhat similar to my last home, but with more of a country feel. 

Below are some images that inspire the perfect combinations of reclaimed wood:

Notice the reclaimed wood on the ceiling in that back room -

they went from elegant and refined to rustic and warm

I love this pantry... the Juxtaposition of the rustic ceiling with the shiny tile!

Here is a good idea - add a reclaimed piece of furniture instead!

 Doesn't Belgian design reflect the perfect country influence?!

My favorite combinations are French, Belgian and Swedish/Gustavian influences!

Please share some of your ideas, I would love to hear from you!

Needing The Perfect Antique?

Lucca Antiques is such a beautiful store!  They have two locations, one in LA and the other in New York City.  Here you can find that perfect one-of-a-kind antique that will be an heirloom forever.  Below are some of my favorite images from their website.  

I would die if I could design a home with these pieces!

I love how each piece is so soothing and timeless!

I hope you're having a wonderful week!
