Hooks & knobs

I love the idea of using pretty, old doorknobs or hooks to hold everything from towels to jewelry. It's the perfect marriage of decor and function. I'm especially loving the mix of rustic wood with the pretty glass and metallic knobs.

Plank Walls :: Creating Character

Most of the homes in my area of town are newer construction. While there are a lot of things I love about a new home, I have also always been drawn to the character and unique-ness of really old houses. Little quirks, architectural elements, nooks and crannies. One great way to give your new(er) home some warmth and character is to add planking to the walls. Even just a feature wall can change the whole feel of a room. Here are a few great rooms with wood planking on the walls.

Do you love a wood plank wall as much as we do?

Country Living: California Ranch

We're loving the look of this California ranch house, featured in Country Living. All of the bright, airy spaces are so soothing. It's easy to imagine stepping right inside to make myself at home! 

We're especially loving the rustic and industrial touches- the tree stump side table, pendant lighting in the kitchen and the wood tray holding pretty vintage soap bottles, to name a few!
