Modern Rustic

These rooms all have a style design that I enjoy very much. A well done, artful combination of modern design with a touch of rustic. I think all 3 of these photos capture that style very well.

Paris and Jill

Check out these great paintings done by Paris Gerrard and Jill Barton. They are mother and daughter who are oh so very talented! Paris paintings are the top 3 and Jill's are the bottom two. If you like to see more, go to the link at the left under "cool new findings."

Small with Style

Here are some small spaces that I thought were nice...

Keeping it Together

I love when a space is not only organized but stylized too! It does not matter how good it looks if you still can't find the dog's leash! I first, figure out what I need and use and then try to make it look as good as possible. If a object is interesting (to me) then I try to leave it out. If its something I use on a daily basis, it probably sits out too. Its a highly personal thing but always remember the most important rule in small space living, less is more!

Entry

No matter how small or how narrow you can still have a entryway to your home. My front door spills right into my front room but I defined it with shelves and hooks for all those things you need on your way out. What do you do as you leave? That will help you decide how to plan it!

Display

If you have a small space, don't think you can't have large displays. Large art work or groupings give great visual impact, and can make the space feel grander!

White Light

We all know it, nothing opens up a small space like tons of natural light and white paint. White mixed with just about anything is a good thing. I love color and I love white. What can I say? There is room for both in the small space!
