Love the blue wall in the living room, the hardwood floors and dining chairs...and that marvelously preserved bathroom!

So chic without a bit of pretension! And the idea that is somehow overly feminine seems like a very narrow perspective. Not all men require sports memorabilia and beer can art to feel at home.

I love Antonio! This is like a sophisticated version of a favorite punk rock dive bar.

So lovely. Just perfect the way the land, architecture and design all compliment each other. An inspiring house tour for sure!

This is the 3rd tour in as many weeks where I've seen people post personal, nasty comments. Why would any homeowner want to expose themselves to such a bunch of criticism and hostility? I appreciate people being willing to share their spaces. Thanks John! Enjoyed the tour!

My bedroom has a similar color scheme to yours and I realize now that I have not been making the most of it. What an inspiration your home is!

Patrick Stevens I totally agree!
Some things just fall right into place and others take ages to hunt down.
And it's never done, guests might think it is, but I am always aware of things that need tweaked and improved.

Currently in my home I have many of the aforementioned allergy inducing items:
mini-blinds
ceiling fans
knotty pine
vinyl siding
nonfunctional shutters...
because what I am allergic to is home-improvement debt.

Carefully curated spaces that reflect the homeowners unique design aesthetic through an eclectic mix of artfully arranged iconic pieces and painstakingly sourced vintage finds.
Did I forget anything?
Oh, yeah, and chevron.


What's Your Design Pet Peeve?

This article and the comments gave me pause. I see a lot of young people that "style" and "prop" their entire lives--everything being staged and photographed for maximum cute and cool points. This is a weird trend that I have a hard time relating to, but seems an inevitable consequence of sites like Pinterest and Tumblr.

It also seems that everyone has become hyper aware of design and how their interior spaces represent them to the larger world. I dont think this is necessarily a bad thing. For those of us that love design it just means more opportunities to peer into the private spaces of others. This freedom to gawk will inevitably inspire some copycatting.

I too have a blog about my home and my interests, however, it is anything but picture perfect or trendy...it's more of a journal to keep myself engaged in the home improvement process.

I have been lusting after banquette kitchen seating forever. I am completely willing to suffer a bit to have this particular adorableness in my house. (And since my kitchen is straight out of the 50's it's totally appropriate!)

Banquette Seating in the Kitchen Inspiration Roundup

Here, here to moving away from all the bland stainless, chrome and satin nickel! And totally agree Parnassus, it's that horrible stuff from a few decades ago that turned people off to brass.

This immediately made me think of the Gotye "Somebody that I used to know" video that is so popular right now!

Loooove your sofa! And those vintage looking (assuming original) kitchen cabinets are fabulous!

Love the unapologetic use of color and the two small tables used in place of a coffee table...super cute and so practical for a small space!

Love the use of textiles here and agree with others that there is no need for a divider since the color flow is so successful. (And I am unapologetically a pink girl too!) Well done!
