Today has been a really long day! I am on a work-cation and trying to get a little bit of both in daily has proven to be nothing short of work! Yes, I am quite bushed, but I am very happy, but bushed! Right now, I want to kick back, relax in silence, and since I'm still in Little Rock, enjoy the scenic beauty nightfall brings in Pleasant Valley!
I love that this entry is very open, airy, and spacious! Look at that incredible light coming through! Every detail of this entry I adore! The fabric on the chair paired with the pillow that it holds, the rug selection, and those lanterns...long sigh! I'm usually not a fan of two types of flooring being used in the same space, but this tile works amazingly well with the hardwood! Nor am I an advocate of accent walls, however the gray finish on the door wall paired with the creme finish on the adjacent walls is really very nice!
I could never have white slipcovered furniture in my home, for you see I have people who are not as careful as me! Not that I think you have to be extra careful with white, however there is a certain amount of self awareness that is needed in order to not have to constantly have the cleaning products at the ready!
I would linger here long after dinner has been eaten! Why? There is a purity about this space that is calming and could quite easily make me drift into a quiet place. The ghost dining chairs add to the spaciousness of the area taking up no visual weight at all. The sheer draperies, lightweight and allowing all of that glorious light to beam brightly through. The beautiful cabriole leg on the natural wood table is, I think romantic. The lanterns add an old world charm that suits the space perfectly. Now, after all this room has to offer, wouldn't you want to linger as well?
Ah, this kitchen... Starting with the white-washed exposed brick; it adds a softened appeal to an element that is anything but. The reclaimed wood floors in it's natural state adds so much character and an authenticity that would not be had with any other floor. The placement of art, pictures, that wonderful antiqued brass mirror, and plants makes this more than just a place where meals are prepared. To cap it off with the stainless countertop and stools...Yes!!!
The feminine simplicity of this room is pure loveliness. The tall upholstered, tufted headboard with nailhead trim is beautiful. The chosen linens with delicate detail is a perfect compliment to the floral-like motif of the wallpaper. All of the elements in a monochromatic scheme makes a restful nights sleep attainable.
How much do I love this fireplace and the mirror above! Notice every detail of this space! The design, stone, and brick used on this fireplace is wonderful! The Ceiling with the narrow planks and skylight, how thoughtful! This is where winding down after a long day is worth day dreaming about!
Make it Amazing!
