Scott has good taste, but when it comes to the home, he lets me take the reigns. He enjoys working on the outside of the house so the inside is my playing field. A vintage modern style is what appeals to me the most. I love the character and charm of antiques mixed with modern elements. I also love earthtones and anything rustic thrown into the mix. However, no matter what pieces come together in our home, my goal is for it to always be comfortable, warm, cozy, and inviting (clean and clutterless too!) because really, it's not about what your home looks like, but the people who you get to share it with.
Here's a rickety old end-sofa table from my dad's house (originally from my great aunts' house in KY). I stabilized it and repainted it to match the rug. I like projects that allow for reinventing the old!
I love all your projects. Nice work and well worth the effort! BKG redid the dresser that Evie has in her room. I think nearly everyone in the family owned it at one point. It's fun when pieces have a history, as opposed to: "Yeah, we got that at Target." No disrespect to Target, of course!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you a funny story.
ReplyDeleteMy mom was telling me that she went out to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with Aunt Jennie and afterward, they walked around in the mall. She's all: "Yeah, we went into Abercrombie -- but all the clothes are so expensive." I'm like: "WHY would YOU go looking at clothes at Abercrombie?" (I had no idea my mom was into Size-2 80-dollar camis! LOL) She gets all defensive: "We were just LOOKING. I said it was too expensive, even in the clearance section. But they DO have such cute housewares!" I'm like:"Housewares? Since when does Abercrombie have HOUSEWARES?" And then it clicked... ANTHROPOLOGIE is where they went... not ABERCROMBIE!!! LOL!!! I could not stop laughing. My mom was like: "Oh. Yeah. An-thro-pol-o-gie. THAT's what I meant."
Love the designsponge setup :)
