Muskoka Living

Muskoka Living is a 25,000 sq ft retail and design space in Port Carling, Ontario. This is just one of the homes from their website and there are many more just as beautiful! Oh I really love this place! It is really just what I would want in a country home...or any home for that matter! So fresh and light, antiques and vintage and of course a car ( a Porche, not just a car) in the house. The choice of creamy whites and bright whites is just perfect with a touch of black and some shiny silver and grey. This should get your weekend off to a great start! 

Enjoy!

White Country Collections

This white country cottage is full of the most beautiful mini collections.  I really like the collection of ceramic eggs, a mini collection of dogs, buttons and magazines as well as a collection of seltzer bottles, ironstone ale glasses and pitchers. There are so many mini collections throughout this pretty house! The dining room has a gorgeous kerosene lamp and a pretty spindle chair and the kitchen is featuring the owners collection of enamel ware plates and cups. What about the umbrellas in that amazing stand! Really a lovely cottage with so many great ideas to start your own collection. Myself, I collect ceramics and mercury glass. What do you collect in your home? 

Enjoy!

Interiors: Designer Perri Wolfman

The Southampton home of Charles Gold the photographer and Perri Wolfman the tableware designer for Restoration Hardware is just what you would expect from two creative people...clever and inspirational! The wing chairs in the living room are some of my favourites from Restoration Hardware, the lighting in the kitchen is so much fun and I love the old framed spoons on the counter! Amazing turquoise chairs hanging in the workroom have fantastic impact on the wall and the green matches on the table look so great in the white ceramic pieces. Love it.. 

Enjoy!

Sweet Swedish Apartment

This little open air apartment in Sweden is so pretty. The whole living space is really in one room with a small bedroom and bathroom, but it is really well done. Pretty black and white touches with a lovely  modern kitchen and bright big windows that really open up the space in a great way. Just perfect for a single or young couple!

Enjoy!

Harmonious Home

The art of Feng Shui was used to create perfect balance and harmony in this home. Of course I find white homes are always peaceful and calm but this space has the added touch of an experts hand. Elements such as the easel were added to symbolize creativity and black was used to contrast with the white to show ying and yang in the home. From a decorating perspective I love the gold mirror in the dining room and the wallpaper with the contrasting black cupboard looks so pretty!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Chevron Floors

I love the look of chevron or herringbone floors. First they are usually found in older homes...and often in places I like to visit....like Paris for example! The texture and warmth it gives to a space is fantastic and it looks really good in both white wash and deeper tones as well. I found so many great houses with these amazing floors! Here are a few homes I blogged about that have them HERE and HERE!

Enjoy!

Handmade Home

After searching for the perfect country home and not finding anything to their liking, this couple decided to build their own. Despite not having any experience they bought the land and then proceeded to build the country home of their dreams. Filled with items they made or found vintage pieces this home is one they created together and they say they could not be happier with the results.....It is true it looks very welcoming and looks like a true family home! Love the green accents used throughout the rooms....

Enjoy!
