Distressed wood walls...

 

Good Monday morning friends....  it is beautiful out today and I hope that you are enjoying it!

I know this is a simple thing but I adore this wall and the little swing arm light!  The wall treatement is what really gets me.  I love the distressed wood walls they give a space a sense of history where there may have been none.  We used one in our cabana out by the pool and I love love it.  We had our family photos taken out there and I cannot wait to share with you!  It looks so cool!

Anyway- busy day ahead and just wanted to wish you a good morning and a good week!  The holidays are about to take us over so I am squeezing out the last bits of quite time and enjoying every single minute!  

Also, a quick Happy Birthday to my Mom!  xoxo

Masculine winter...

 

This space makes me want to start up that fire and pour a glass of wine.  I love that it has an air of mystery, what is up above?  How tall are the ceilings really?  It is pretty amazing!

Has fall turned cold finally for you?  We are finally starting to feel it here in California and I am glad for the change.

Black Paneling

 
I love the impact the black makes in this space, an amazingly clean and simple backdrop for the wood detailing in the furnishings.  Just perfect.  I am also a sucker for hidden doors and the continuation of color onto the floors.  Could you handle the drama of black in your home?

Texture.. in design

 

Sometimes it is so hard to explain the importance of texture in design, it is such a necessary thing and I think it can often be missed.  The wood on this wall is just the beginning in this space but it is one that stands out.  I love that mixed with the rug and the cocktail table.  It makes us feel like a lot is going on even though the colors are limited here.  

Do you do texture in your home?  If so I would love to hear how you add it in to your design.
