Considering the Open Concept Layout

FREE IMAGES

Now that hubby and I are not longer spending every spare moment wedding planning, we are finally thinking about improvements that we'd like to make to our home.  Our house it a 50s rambler, and while it doesn't have the bones these amazing spaces do, we are still thinking about knocking down some walls to create a more open and modern space. 

Loving almost everything about this.

Barn Inspiration

I was raised on a farm and knew I wanted a barn wedding before it became the trendiest thing on Pinterest.  I find old barns particularly beautiful, with the old stone and wood.  Below are some gorgeous barn homes, as well as some inspiration for incorporating some barn details into your own home.

The windows in barn houses are usually fantastic

Love the open concept a lot of barns have

The lush drapes and upholstery offer a nice contrast.

Love the white washed beams with the marble countertops....dying!

Has anyone here ever lived in or visited a barn house?  Could you live in one?

A beautiful New York loft that evokes simple Quaker aesthetics

FREE IMAGES This SoHo loft, spanning an entire New York block, is such a breath of fresh air. It is urban and glamorous, but at the same time peaceful and simple. Enjoy!

I would never pick that wallpaper, and I do not like zebra rugs, but all of these elements together are so pretty.

Brick wall and an unashamedly girly bed? Love it.

Extra space worth using!

FREE IMAGES I love natural light in a home and tall ceilings can add to that by making a room feel large and bright. A great way to add some of that in a smaller home is doing a loft conversion. Opening up an attic and using that space can really add a lot to a home.

That extra space could go towards adding more square footage and creating a room in the attic! With a nice sky light window you can open up a small space with gorgeous natural light.



Using the natural shape of the extra space can create some stunning designs. Some people are nervous about truss loft conversions but using a specialist can make this transformation easy with as little disruption as possible.



Some spaces are large enough to convert into an entire loft apartment. Using a wall of windows really makes this space feel more like a getaway than an attic!



Another option would be to just open up the space. This kitchen hardly feels small with the tall ceilings and windows.
