The beauty of custom made furniture is that you can introduce color any way you want!  Here is a great example of taking traditional forms, like these fanback chairs and trestle table, and painting them in a fun and exciting color that reflects your home.  We opted to rub the paint pieces for a more antiqued look that blends nicely with the wood buffet and hutch.  The paisley print rug was the true inspiration for this colorful country cottage dining room, and provides a lot of visual impact in the space.

We love using red when designing dining rooms and eat in kitchens! What other places in your home do you love using red?

This rustic lake house living room is completely worth swooning over!  A beautiful blend of suede, leather, stone, and reclaimed timbers makes this space feel warm, inviting, and just a little worn in.  The sofas and chairs are in perfect proportion to the large scaled room, and provide plenty of plush seating for family and friends. 
The stone hearth definitely stands out as one of the main focal points, and we adore the simple wood mantel that adds another touch of rustic character to the room.  The built in pieces that flank the fireplace are each a little different in design, but still create a seamless look as they are the same height and color.  And it's always nice to have both open and closed storage options in the family room.
Are you ready to move in?

Natural, rustic, and chic are just a few words that describe this upscale beach home.  This open concept home is a seamless fusion of farmhouse and coastal cottage style that together creates a remarkably unique feel.  Architectural details, like the exposed wood beams and arched built-in cabinetry, accentuate the space's lofty and grandiose feel. 
Another amazing feature of this gorgeous natural beach house is the attention to color and finishes.  The natural and neutral theme is carried throughout the space, which creates visual ease from the living room to the dining area.  But one large focal point stands out in that beautiful aqua hue on the buffet and hutch. By adding something different, something distinctive, it adds a whole new design element to the space.

Which area in this home would you spend the most time in? The dining, kitchen or living room?

This time of year you want your cottage home to be a retreat from the chilly air outside.  We recommend introducing copper, persimmon, and golds into your cottage fall decor to create a strong sense of warmth and comfort.  The featured rug boasts a variety of golds and rusts, and is a great jumping off point for an inviting palette.  We suggest a mixture of soft solids, relaxed linens, and weathered leather for a texturally interesting combination.  Where would you use these colors in your home?

Gorgeous!  We absolutely love this breathtaking cottage sleeping porch!  What a wonderful way to wake up every morning, by gazing outside your floor to ceiling wrap-around windows out to the tree tops.  Not ready to wake up bright and early with the sun?  Just draw back the thick linen curtains for a cozy morning in bed. 
The low key decor sets the tone for this woodsy home with just hints of luxury, like the crisp white shag rugs and upholstered bed frame.  The room is completely paneled in pine, literally from floor to ceiling, making you feel that you are truly sleeping within the trees.

Would you ever leave this room?

A beautiful blend of old, worn, and weathered pieces, along with crisp and clean architectural details, this elegant farmhouse dining room is truly unique.  The rug has a faded quality to it that makes this room feel so loved and lived in.  The rustic floors are a rich mahogany stain that is a great contrast to the stark white fireplace and chair railed walls, and the combination has a sharp effect on the room.  One of the most impressive elements in this space, even though it may be subtle, is the two tone dining table.  The top has a chipped paint finish in a fantastic slate color, and the base is a handsome timber style trestle.  It is such a unique piece, yet it blends right into the space.
The combination of slipcovered head chairs, wood side chairs, and a singular bench all sit at this one table.  How do you feel about eclectic chairs at your table?

Browsing online we always see these absolutely beautiful laundry rooms that inspire the desire to redecorate this nook of the home immediately!  The approach to decorating your laundry room shouldn't be much different than any other room in your home.  You want this space to reflect the overall style of your home, with an emphasis an organization and storage.  Here are some stylish photos to help you decide what kind of laundry room look you want to create.


Vintage Vignettes

Wire baskets and vintage corbels are adorable accents for this charming cottage laundry room.  The short, sheer drapes allow plenty of light to shine in and bring this space to life.

Rustic Lodge
This laundry room clearly belongs to a rustic lake house or lodge!  The exposed timber walls and thick ceiling beams give the space all the character it needs, leaving the decorative touches simple and refined.  And, what a dream come true to have a sink on hand for easy soaking!


Image: Cute Decor

A Little Country
A decorative backslash isn't only for kitchens and bathrooms!  The slightly imperfect geometric tiling is definitely the focal point and provides a beautiful source of color in this laundry room.  The shaker style custom cabinetry provides plenty of closed door storage to tuck away all of those not-so-nice-looking laundry room items.  The cabinetry is also the perfect shade of tinted grey to pick up the muted tones in the tile.

Looking for ideas to decorate your entryway?  This lakeside cabin inspiration board pulls together different pieces, like benches, an accent table, rugs, and throw pillows for a cozy and practical lake house entryway.  Braided rugs are an ideal choice for high traffic areas, especially the ones that are made for indoor/outdoor areas.  They are durable because of the tight weave, and the multi-colored design helps to hide dirt and debris!  One of the most important objectives in outfitting an entryway is to choose pieces that will make organizing easy.  Have a place for the coats, shoes, and backpacks, but also have a smaller table for keys, purses, and maybe even a charging station!  Make it easy to keep clutter and chaos to a minimum. 
What color do you see for the walls in this lakeside cabin inspired hallway?

The beauty of custom made furniture is that you can introduce color any way you want!  Here is a great example of taking traditional forms, like these fanback chairs and trestle table, and painting them in a fun and exciting color that reflects your home.  We opted to rub the paint pieces for a more antiqued look that blends nicely with the wood buffet and hutch.  The paisley print rug was the true inspiration for this colorful country cottage dining room, and provides a lot of visual impact in the space.

We love using red when designing dining rooms and eat in kitchens! What other places in your home do you love using red?
