Color of the Year

Pantone announced 2013's color of the year...


emerald green

Clarity, renewal, and rejuvenation, are the words used to describe what this color symbolizes and there isn't a better time than now to have a little clarity and renewal in each of our lives. ♥

Industrial Rustic

The hubby and I have always daydreamed about having an old farmhouse out in the middle of nowhere, so when interest rates dropped again we captured our opportunity to make that dream come true. We placed a bid on a home that has approximately ten acres of land and our bid was accepted. Of course I  immediately began to space plan and design the new home. I'm thinking that an industrial rustic style will fit the space very well. We won't close on our new home until October. Since I can't do any designing until then, I'll share with you some industrial rustic styles from Houzz.

I ♥ these chairs! 
A most definite with my refinished dining table in the new home.


We have exposed brick in our new home, I ♥ the wooden shelves against the brick. 
The large table/island is the perfect too.


Ceiling is gorgeous! 


Barn sliding door...you have my ♥


Sliding door, white walls, and the wood beams are simply stunning.


In the master bedroom we have a wood plank wall. It is a little dark and I'm considering painting it white. Those beds are too darn cute. :)


Our fireplace is brick(from the 1860s) and I won't change that but I would like to add a surround in metal with some old reclaimed wood. 


The mix of textures and elements in this kitchen keep it interesting and warm.


♥ the open floor plan


Cute fabrics.


I adore these metal doors. 
I know I can squeeze them in my place somewhere. 


In our new kitchen we have a space that has a brick wall (the back side of the fireplace for the living room). I am determined to put a wine rack on that wall.


Reclaimed wood walls. Perfect.

Unique Finds: the Rocking Wheel Chair



A new contemporary look to the rocking chair, the Rocking Wheel Chair by German designer Mathias Koehler, creates a modern twist to an old idea. The rocking motion of the chair powers the reading light that sits above the chair...so clever.
