Loving The Barn...

 Just came across the most perfect barn!!  Rachel Halverson helped inspire this perfect sanctuary and I'm floored by her interpretation of rustic country.

I'm sure many of you follow Rachel's amazing blog called Nest Egg, but if you haven't... It's a must!!  This girl has vision!!

I can't get over that perfect porch swing, the light fixture and the whole aesthetic of this place!!

Rachel you're amazing!!!

Finding Perfection In Imperfection

I love the quote: "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away"

... Need I say more?

Hints of the Past...

I love fearless design - those who use antique building materials, or those who choose to try and keep the integrity of an old home.  Below are images that capture texture and contrast of decorative elements previously overlooked:

Friday is here - hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Rustic & Charming...

I have been on the prowl for reclaimed wood furniture and beams.  

I think they add the perfect amount of charm and earthiness to any home.

The juxtaposition of rough and refined is so timeless - not to mention kid friendly!

The Perfect Belgian Kitchen

This kitchen was built by Joris Van Apers bvba.

This is the perfect eighteenth-century inspired kitchen; with all its original elements, proportions and aging techniques - this kitchen is truly one-of-a-kind!!

I can't get enough of the color palette that was used; I could sit in this room all day!

Notice the eighteenth-century fireplace integrated above the oven

Sorry for the fuzzy-scanned pictures... these images don't do this kitchen justice!

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
