Its been a long time since I have shared my inspired list with you, and the reason is…its been way too long since I have devoted time to it. Here’s the thing, as a designer and a lover of color and nature and symmetry and asymmetry and …the list goes on and on…I am inspired daily. Lately, I am into basketweave, rope, raw wood, wool, leather, linen and anything natural.
I tend to melt into the projects I am creating on a daily basis. Since I am in the midst of a custom all wood project for a beautiful porch, it makes sense that I am obsessed right now with the modern rustic look. I have been selecting reclaimed woods, and looking at stains and finishes and marveling at the beauty and and depth of using reclaimed wood for a project. So naturally, I am finding myself being drawn to crisp clean interiors with beautiful wood warming the corners of rooms that could otherwise, feel stark…like this one designed by Carla Aston.
I love the wood/leather crisp combo. This is not a new design look. For years people / clients/ designers have been drawn to this somewhat rustic modern look, but man, right now, I am DIGGIN it big time!!
Bright, crisp and IKEA pricing!!! say what?! read along here, as A beach cottage takes you on her trip to Ikea to help create this look! I love a good designer look for less!!!
Raw wood with modern chairs! LOVE!! Check out hillcountry homebody to see this look!!
You can create this look by using less expensive pieces too!! stock up on baskets, wool throws, and glass lamps and jugs!! I cant wait to share with you the farm table, benches and bed swing that is being made for me right now!! I will have install pics soon!!
SO tell me!! What is inspiring YOU lately!
