interior design home

While I loved the main rooms in the house yesterday, this takes the cake...Country Living Idea House 2008

I love coming across homes I had forgotten about, even though they are memorable. *Update- This is Country Living, thank you everyone for the information! 2008 Idea House Country Living
More from this house tomorrow....

Love this home full of quirky details belonging to Simon Finch...That roman shade is not what you typical see, love that it is different...
Nothing like a disco ball to lighten the mood...
Once again, cool window coverings..

This door instantly drew me in, I knew I had to see the rest of the house.
Doesn't this look like a place you would want to spend the Holidays?
So simple, so welcoming.
I love a wreath on every window.
To see the rest of this house visit Country Living.

James and Jo Ford's guest house isn't just any old house. It is actually their very first house. They sold it over 4 decades ago, then recently purchased it for $1 and moved the structure onto their family property. Think that is sweet? The icing on the cake is their designer son, Brad, made it over for them. Here is a bedroom before and after:What I love: the studded chest as a bedside table, the bedding-especially the pillows, the hanging lamps, the seagrass rug, and last but not least the wallpaper on the back wall. Perfection in a simple way.
For the rest of this makeover visit Country Living.

This room from the farmhouse of the Orloff family is pretty perfect.Lets see: Huge detailed mirror, velvet sofa, white rug, cool lamp, large beautiful secretary, cute side table, zig-zag pillow, grey ceiling, and last but not least- fun yet classic wallpaper. Yes, Yes and Yes please.

For the rest of the farmhouse visit Country Living.

A while back I asked for opinions on wood floors for bathrooms. Well, the response was great and now I want to know what you think about wood floors in the kitchen! I have only had tile (I have yet to have any input into a kitchen that I live in) but I think I would like wood. Are there downsides though? Dents, dings, spills? Let me know what you think!Image Veranda

Yes, I think I would like wood floors indeed but I am all ears!

I love this picture, not just because it is peaceful and beautiful but because I love the idea of using a chair as a bedside table.Chairs are one of the cheaper pieces of furniture out there when you are on a tight budget. Both of these pictures inspire me to rethink the position of the chairs in my house.
Have some chairs that need a little TLC? Maybe these before and afters will inspire you...


For cheap side chairs I have had great luck at at garage sales, antique shops and Ebay.

Another crazy day, I can't wait for the weekend and to catch up on my blog reading!
