Vintage Dream

I have so many blogs I visit regularly and they vary so much, going from modern Swedish blogs to French country blogs by wonderful bloggers in the US. (see my list on the first page to visit other blogs I love) One blog I have really admired is lille vildand at lillevildand.blogspot.no. The wonderful home of Jannicke, that is featured in most of the posts is so beautiful and the use of white throughout is so well done!  Take a look at this photos and go and take a look at this blog...

Inspiration in White - Chairs

Okay I am having a "chair" moment....or a "seating" moment actually. I am working on a project and am redoing some chairs and I am seriously obsessed with finding the right shape chair and the right fabric. I have been looking at chair after chair and I really love the old slipper chairs but can not find an old one to redo. I am also loving daybeds but did not find one of those either but found a chaise longue instead that has a similar look. I am having it redone now and will post the results when it is done. I have used some of the photos below for inspiration...

 

Enjoy!

Gingerbread House

I love this Gingerbread house in Sweden. The lovely intricate carvings on the exterior make this a storybook house that is warm and welcoming! The interior of the home has very light wall paper in many rooms that just adds to its charm!

French Country Home

This home in the Lot valley region of France has been updated, from the previous dark interior, to the all white of today. Bright and fresh with all of the original features it is a wonderful cozy space inside and out. The doors leading into the dining room are heaven and as are the quaint blue shudders on the exterior of the home!

Enjoy!

Modern Barn

When I am doing research for this blog I look at a lot of houses of all different types from modern to vintage style and from barn to loft. Sometimes I come across a place that is done so well for the style and this is one of those houses. An old barn converted into a home with all of the modern conveniences but with all of the charm kept intact. From the interior to the gardens and pool area outside it is the perfect modern barn style home decorated with simple furnishes that allow the architecture and finishings within the home to shine.

Enjoy!

Vintage Country Home

This lovely country home is just full of vintage flea market finds! This couple put their collection of fun and cozy pieces together over many years....I love to see a room build over time when you find just that right item to go in a particular spot in a room....

Enjoy!

Kitchen and Mudroom Redo

This gorgeous house was renovated room by room and the results are fantastic. I have shown the mudroom before on Facebook and love that it is such a big size. You can really move around in this room and with a few kids in the house that would make going in and out a lot easier! The kitchen is just so fresh and light. Great job on this reno!!

Enjoy!

Cottage Love

This cottage in Connecticut, filled with traditional American antique treasures, is kept light and fresh by using a consistent color palette throughout the home. Built in the 18th century, the homeowners have respected the history of this house yet gently transformed it for modern day living. I love it!

Enjoy!

Rose Chintz Cottage

Paris Factory Loft

I had seen one of these pictures on Pinterest and found the rest of the photos very recently. I love when that happens and I get to see the whole home. What I like about this is the big letters in the kitchen area and the loose, eclectic decor. I can imagine a young couple or students living in a space like this. Check out the barn lamps above the kitchen counter!

Enjoy!
