Rooms To Love: Colorful Cottage Bedroom

A bright and bold spin on traditional cottage styles breathes new life into this colorful cottage bedroom. The embellished turned detail and the over-sized carved curls on the bed are a modern twist on the traditional Chippendale style bed frame. The upholstered bench mimics the rounded curl from the bed with high rolled arms, and is in an adorable small scaled check print. Layering color and different fabric prints gives this bedroom a contemporary, yet quaint, cottage look and feel. This room encapsulates eclectic in an orderly fashion by keeping the clutter to a minimum, and the paintings on the wall sparse, allowing the color palette to really shine!

Rooms to Love: Refined Country Breakfast Nook

An oval table is ideal in this country breakfast nook with the half moon shaped banquet. The soft buttercream, beige, and mahogany tones create a warm and inviting place to share a cup of coffee in the morning or a candlelight dinner at night. Piling pillows on the banquet increases the comfort and utilizes a great opportunity for accent fabrics and fringes. Complementing the banquet is an open weaved wicker dining chair that allows for an uninterrupted view of the table. This space is simple yet elegant with a clear attention to country decorating design details.

Rooms to Love: Mix & Match Living

Mixing and matching old wood accents with select newer pieces gives this living room an exciting blend of old & new. The fireplace is flanked by two different built-in cabinets; keeping them the same white seen on the fireplace creates a consistent flow across the far wall. The heightened mantelpiece and reclaimed wood feature create a central focal point and draws the eye directly to the fireplace. At night, we imagine the illuminating sconces and fire would create a wonderfully cozy place to sit and relax or watch a movie!
