I am so very in love with all of it....

BD...I like where your head is at!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!! I too stand as a wood purist who also has commented when lovely wood pieces have been painted hipster-yellow and showcased on AT. As someone who spent almost 4 months (part time project) lovingly restoring a Heywood Wakefield dresser I scored at our local Good Will for the insanely low price of 9 bucks, I understand the agony and then joy you must have felt as you painstakingly sanded the wood to its natural beauty! Bravo on a job well done!

Ahhh...this home speaks to me!! The exact look I go for (and am still srtiving to create) in my home. It is a perfect mix of ethereal, raw material (and raw woods), nature and rich textiles. So very, very well done. Bravo!!

@ username26. Spot on. The whole hoopla is just a meme.

Clutter, clutter everywhere! As a former 'collector of things' I get it...surround yourself with things you like to see. As a newfound minimalist, I can say that nothing is more liberating than freeing yourself of clutter, possessions and "things" that bog you down. I have moved four times in the past 15 years, and each time I packed up and lugged with me all of my things, I started to see them less as things and more as baggage. I had to care for them and clean/dust them. The more I had, the longer it took. Once I understood that, it became easy to shed it all! I am no longer a slave (or Curator to use AT-speak) of my things. I keep my space sparse and the chi really flows. I shall now step off my soap box. Other than that I like the lightfixture in the living room.

Love all those windows!!! Have been looking for similar style windows for our home! Thank you for sharing!

Oops...my comment above should read embark...not ember (but thank you for the spell check iPad)

LOVE your home! Your relaxed, clean, accessible style is cozy and unpretentious while still being hip and modern...not an easy feat to pull off! I like that it feels natural and uncontrived with earthy elements and edgy and sparse at the same time. A study in juxtaposition! Thanks for sharing!

Soooooo much to love about this house!!! I will start with the floors!!! They are BEAUTIFUL!!! What can you tell me about them...wood type?? stain color?? were they prefinished or did you do them yourseves?? We are replacing our Brady-Bunch-Brown linoleum floors soon and the floors you have are the exact look I am going for! Also--kudos on the DIY aspect of your reno as well...we are doing the same thing at our home. Not the easiest route, but it is a labor of love as I am sure you know ; )
