Concrete ~ tough enough to pave highways, so it is no wonder that it is becoming a popular hard-wearing surfacing material for the home.
My own bathroom recently joined in this trend setting show . . . it is a low cost, easy d0-it-yourself project, that I plan to do more of. What is your thoughts on "concrete?"
Nature is so integral to coloring a space, we should always be on the lookout for inspiration.
With green there is so much diversity, sage, moss, and chartreuse are all great choices to choose from.
If you love summer use the "Summer Greens". For spring, go a bit more pastel. And of course if you are a fall gal, it calls for a earthier green such as moss.
I find green very serene and calm, it has a feeling of nature. I guess that is why it's my favorite. . . Which colors make you warm and fuzzy inside?
Joan left me a comment that noted that most of the time I showcase rooms with white wood work. She asked if I could show some examples of rooms with dark stained wood work... Joan this is my own living room, I have stain wood work throughout my home.
I got this photo from Joni's blog http://cotedetexas.blogspot.com/ If you don't know Joni, be sure to check her out. Cote De Texas is a big reason why I started a blog of my own.
Don't remember where I collected this photo. But I think this space is very inviting. I hope this helps Joan. Do I have anymore request out there? I will do my best ...
The cottage style melds elements that are both humble and high-class, yielding a look that is warm and romantic.
Character of a farmhouse, wood beam architecture, chairs with rush seats speak to the vintage roots of this style.
Spaces such as these should have the look and feel of a room that has evolved over many years. Pieces have been re-worked and used in various ways in different rooms of the home.
As I am growing older, I am embracing this look more and more . . . I could sleep in here, could you?
