A little texture can go a long way!

You may hear designers talk about texture as one aspect that really makes or breaks a room. Visual texture, when done correctly, can transform a simple room into a unique eye catching space.


The brick walls, with wood floors, a comfy couch, and a woven rug all give you different textures that combined well together. Each one touches your senses in a different way but when brought together can create a truly unique feel.


Mixing wood, tile, and granite really makes this room feel that nostalgic sense of home with a modern twist of luxury.

There's something so unique about wood grain and mixing that with painted cabinets, glass, and stone really makes each item stand out!


Texture doesn't always have to come from major home upgrades. It can be as simple as adding wood to an already great cabinet and pairing it with wicker baskets and a fun rug. 


How do you use texture in your home?

Country interiors that are clean and fresh, not cluttered and frilly!

I was born and raised on a large farm in an old colonial farmhouse.  I will always love old wide plank floors, exposed wood beams, and wavy windows. That being said, I have never been a fan of "country" decorating.  Ruffled valances, roosters, chintz and faux chipping paint make me cringe.  Country can be fresh and clean and beautiful - see below...

Gotta have your florals or toile? Then keep the drapery, linens and upholstery tailored and crisp.

Keep your light upholstery for a room like the bedroom - any room close to the house entrances is more subject to the dirt brought in from gardening and livestock.

I would also save white cabinetry for a bathroom - the kitchen of a farmhouse gets far too much traffic!

I would never have the heart to touch these floors or beams, so keeping the linens and walls white keeps the space fresh.

While I LOVE white cabinetry, it's very tough to keep clean in a farmhouse.  Between farm dogs and dusty boots, go with a cream or off-white if you can't do dark cabinetry.

Ranchers with low ceilings need all the light they can get.  A white ceiling, a mirrored wall, and glass doors make the most of the light.

LOVE this too.  You don't need ruffled valances to decorate this space.  The treetops are more than enough.

Considering the Open Concept Layout

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.

Those beams - those windows!


Has anyone here remodeled for a more open layout?  Were you happy with the results?

Luxurious Showers

What a great way to start the day than with a shower that would definitely wake me up and put in the right mood for the rest of the day... there is also nothing better than a shower after a hard day working at the farm!

No matter what your design style is, a luxury shower can fit right in! What would you want in yours? Windows, raining shower heads, a bench?
