Gorgeous farmhouse modern in Chicago

This home is a great example of how one can do a modern interior and still keep it warm. All of the lovely, dark hardwoods keep it cozy, but the hard edges and careful editing keep it very zen.

What do you think?

Amazing window!


Love their entryway

A farmhouse table mixed with modern chairs keeps both rustic and modernity in check.

I'm a big fan of large mirrors leaning against the wall. It's luxurious but not stuffy.

A weekend in the country...

This weekend I'm heading down to Westminster, MD, to visit my parents on their 65 acre farm. I'll get fresh eggs each morning, and grilled veggies right from their garden at night. Hopefully my allergies are done bothering me and I can spend my afternoons under the trees with some homemade sangria! Here's some very pretty farmhouses to give you a taste!


hopefully one day I'll have a home with a view like this!

A sense of calm on a frantic day - charming farmhouses

Fridays are wonderful, don't get me wrong, but Friday is always the busiest day of the week in our office. So, for a little breather, I decided to escape to the country.

What farmhouse would be just right without a farmhouse sink?





So this kitchen is maybe a little too dark for my tastes, but I love certain elements, like the worn look of the furniture, and the little herb stand.


I love the hand-chiseled beam as a shelf

A screen door as a pantry door!? Pretty cute.

White + Blue = Love

I love the composition here...

Every I see a piece in that blue, it only reaffirms that I really need one!
