A contemporary midwest home that pulls off eclectic!

I love this home. It's so natural looking - granted a bit too clean to really be lived in - but I love how furnishings and decor are pulled from different spots on the globe, at different times in history, and yet it still flows together. Thoughts?



I like how the mirror falls behind the couch a bit - it keeps the room looking casual


Love those slipcovers



I want a farm table!

Decorating with green - rooms that do it well

Green is big right now - be it the color or the lifestyle. However, like anything that becomes popular there is also the risk of becoming cliche or too trendy. However, just because something is trendy, it doesn't mean you shouldn't embrace it if you truly love it! I think a good place to start is finding inspiration that employs the color/practice/object/etc. in an authentic way.

Here are some examples where I think the color green is used either naturally or with a flair that gets across the dweller's passion for the color. What do you truly love that has become a trend - and has it changed the way you approach it?

- you can do it with accents and accessories

or a unique wallpaper or upholstery...


or where appropriate - as it is in this historic shaker kitchen
