{Elegant Powder Room}

Here's our upcoming project - an elegant powder room. Complete with resources so you can recreate in your own home! I'm soooo obsessed with the Onyx Herringbone floor we're using!!! LOVE. The vanity we chose is great for a powder room - you have to take advantage of not needing to store your blow dryer, ladies! Boldly give your sink a shot of style with this beautiful chrome vanity. 

Enjoy!

{I'm Baaack! Cape Cod Farmhouse}

I'm baaaaack! After a little hiatus I'm back here on the blog to share my collection of inspirations for my latest project, a Cape Cod farmhouse.

It has been a B-U-S-Y summer. With a move and new side job - a lot has been going on! Shout out to ColorWorks in Lexington… if you ever find yourself with idle time on a Saturday and are in need of assistance choosing paints colors I'm your gal! Very excited to be one of their newest Color Ambassadors there. I <3 Color!!! 

Anyway, back to design. The latest projects is for a couple that owns a historical Cape Cod home (built in the 1800s!) The home is undergoing some renovations and updates and I have been tasked with adding the finishing touches. Beachy is easy… beach meets farmhouse can get a tad confusing but it is definitely a successful aesthetic in more homes than you would think in Cape Cod. Here are my inspirations for what I call the "New England Classic" style….  aka Farmhouse Meets Beach. Think lots of neutrals, textures, bold cream and white stripes, mismatched chairs, tin, wrought iron and distressed wood.




All the right stripes with a distressed bedside tables. Those bedside lamps are genius too!
