Little Pond Farm

While enjoying my daily intake of pinterest, I stumbled upon some lovely images. After further investigation, I discovered Little Pond Farm, a "Luxury-lifestyle" inn, in North Carolina. http://www.ncinn.com/Welcome.html
In my opinion this farm is a great example of a job well done.... just look at this place!

Love the traditional white exterior, paned windows and natural stone.

The back patio entry, which doubles as a bar. I love the hardware, paneled walls, floors, color scheme. Okay, I pretty much love everything.

In love with the antique table paired with those chairs, simple and elegant... and just look at that plate rack!

This kitchen is to-die-for, everything you will ever need can fit into this space. Love the grey/ green cabinets and white. Little Pond Farm holds wine tastings and cooking classes here!

countertops and floors....yummmmmmmy

Not the best photo, but every room in the house should have a built-in

Just one of their bathrooms, simplicity is all you need

I will take a bath here

A simple laundry room

Another bar...

One of many guest rooms...

So.... who wants to go with me?

Thank you pinterest and "Talk of the House" for these beautiful images!

This Blue

This lovely blue caught my eye the other day, now I can't seem to get enough of it. It's left me in one of those dangerous design modes, the ones where I want to make drastic changes.... but this too shall pass, so I am going to control myself and live vicariously through these lovely images....

If we weren't in a rental, I would go and paint our door just like this.....

Unwind

City life is great. We are enjoying having a multitude of things to do, places to go, and people to see.  But lately I have been a little homesick, or Wyoming-sick. I miss having an outdoor space to sit and relax in. Without a porch, and having to keep the curtains tightly closed during the day due to the heat has left me missing my outdoor time. Not the kind of outdoor time that involves running, walking or playing with the dogs, more like being able to stare off into space and recharge.

Happy Thursday

Living Room decor

The wall above the television in our little loft living room looked so sad and empty, something needed to be done. I was planning on hanging art, but the idea of arranging and rearranging paintings and photographs seemed like too much work on the exposed brick.  Instead, I went with something a bit more outside of the box: mounts proved to be the perfect solution.  By hanging all four mounts in a row it reads as one cohesive installation, which is needed due to the large scale of this room and the high ceilings. Also, they are black and white, a perfect combination for an open concept space. This combo goes with anything and it shows up beautifully on the brick walls...

Sianara Summer

Even though the heat index is at 107 today, I am still counting on September weather to hit very soon....please? Since moving to Houston in January, we have been stuck in a (what seems like) the never- ending summer. I am ready for rain storms, jeans, sweaters, falling leaves, and everything else that comes with fall. I am finished with the tank tops and sun burns, so wrap yourselves in a blanket and enjoy these lovely dark and moody rooms.
