Brass Is Back

It is and has been all over the design world the past year...and I am LOVING all things Brass. The mix of your grandmothers antique brass flatware to a beautiful polished gold chandelier over a modern table. Intermix different colors and textures to re-create a space that has a classic and sophisticated appeal.

These are a few of my favorites as I design a home inspired by brass end tables, fixtures, and hardware. You can achieve a similar look at a low budget by hunting through the attic or rummage through a good thrift store; buff out a few years of dust and grime and give those dated pieces life again!

Soothing Colors...

Creating color palettes that are soothing and cohesive will provide a well balanced atmosphere for everyone to enjoy!

Detailing ...

I believe good design is in the details. Whether it's for the home, accessorizing your wardrobe, playing up your office, reading a good book, cooking a dinner for two, or throwing a celebration...Create little gems that will be remembered. These are a few beauties I'm day dreaming about that add a touch of interest to the everyday!

Home Sweet Home

I would say my favorite place to date is....back HOME at my Dads farm!

The more I'm away, the more I crave it!

The cows are real. The air is fresh. The stuff is old. The food is good. The life is great!

It's country-It's vintage-It's broken-It's hardworking-It's American.

It's a Good old'fashioned Great way of living!

The Modern'Vintage Home

I grew up loving antiques, refinished furniture, and gilded moldings! But I also married someone who loves white walls, high ceilings, and modern architecture. When I seen these photos from HouseBeautiful, I fell in love with the modern details and vintage flares throughout the entire house that both myself and husband could enjoy! I adore how they paired crystal chandeliers in every room with subtle tone-on-tone hues, gold framing, and a neutral color palettes ...Perfecto!
