House Tour: Industrial, Meet Rustic

Hello, hello! Happy Friday to you all out there. Did you have a good week? I hope so. I've been plugging along, school keeping me busy, but nobody said love was easy. :-)
I have a beautiful, rustic, industrial, home to share with you, love at first sight it was people. You'll see what I mean soon.

You all know that I'm a sucker for a good mix, and this mix of soft and hard, rustic and clean lines, got me smitten. I love how the black furniture and lighting pops against the white and natural background. Those lights above the dining table are gorgeous. I have my eye on this one at World Market for my own home, and of course I instantly zoned in on these here. That window over the kitchen sink is beautiful, and I can only imagine all the beautiful light it will let in. They used reclaimed oak wood for their cabinets.

I didn't realize at first that the bathtub is in the bedroom, not sure I would like that, however that industrial light over the bathtub I'm all for. The use of that awkward space behind the bed as storage is brilliant. Gorgeous home, no?!

Wishing you all a gorgeous Friday, and weekend ahead.

Home Tour: Tailored Industrial

There are some pleasures in life that can sometimes look frivoulous and unless you can relate it doesnt make any sense. However, knowing that I'm among friends, I know you will completely get the joy getting a stack of design magazines can illicit. Yesterday was one of those days...it was like opening presents, each magazine prettier than the other filled with inspiration. Elle Decor really got me reeling though, with Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi's home. I was giddy with excitement flipping through the pages, they were dripping with amazing shots.

I love the mix of rustic, industrial all balanced with a tailored approach. You can see that everything was carefully selected. I had no clue that Ellen is a huge design buff, and moves a lot because of this just so she can have an opportunity to decorate a new space.

The landscape which they fell in love with, understandably so...is intoxicating.

I am completely smitten by their home, though absolutely gorgeous, it also has heart and soul.
What do you think? You can see the full article here, or pick up the latest issue of Elle Decor if you already haven't. I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday.
