This adorable little breakfast nook has so much going for it, it’s hard to decide which element we like best! With light streaming in on three sides, convenient bench seating, and a classic warehouse shade to cast light in the evenings, this space is loaded with charming details. The vented warehouse shade complements the vintage look of the apron front sink and the white subway tile that helps keep the narrow space bright and open.

Style Me Sunday: Festive Barn-Inspired Laundry Room

How-To, Laundry Rooms & Mudrooms, Style Guides Betty 1 Comment on Style Me Sunday: Festive Barn-Inspired Laundry Room

Remember our last Style Me Sunday spotlighting utilitarian spaces? This week we’re looking at the room most of us dread: The Laundry Room.

Let’s take a moment to switch our sentiments from the tediousness of folding laundry and sorting out whites to reflect on the good elements of doing laundry.

Porcelain Stem Mount Pendants Brighten Up Busy Entryway

How-To, Style Guides Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Stem Mount Pendants Brighten Up Busy Entryway

When you’re dashing out the door to school and work, you need a room design that lets you flow easily through the morning’s details without tripping over anyone in the rush. This entry is very functional with its wide hall and long bench to accommodate those putting on shoes, yet it offers so much more than a sparse, utility-room look. Along with the stylish slate flooring and beadboard detailing, the rugged warehouse shade lighting provides plenty of down light so car keys don’t go missing at the last minute.

We were excited when Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this year. Winter would end early and this little group of Floridians could finally enjoy the sunshine and temperatures of spring. Strangely, it seems like the opposite is happening…There’s nothing like slipping on a pair of flip flops and shorts only to discover cold winds nipping at your toes!

Style Me Sunday: Something Old, New, Borrowed & Delphite

How-To, Style Guides Betty 2 Comments on Style Me Sunday: Something Old, New, Borrowed & Delphite

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue… Sometimes the marriage of a great interior is about all of the elements coming together and creating a stimulating and creative atmosphere. We were inspired by this harmonious space that combines contrasting elements (like the lush pillows on the rattan couch besides a cold, glass coffee table) and accessories that shows the home owner’s personality (like the fresh plants, urchin table ornament, and books). Love the look? Make it your own with these simple tips…

Schoolhouse Lights Bring Out the Best in Old School Design

How-To, Kitchens, Style Guides Betty 2 Comments on Schoolhouse Lights Bring Out the Best in Old School Design

The phrase “old school” gets bandied about to describe any number of things from clothing to language to video games. And while old school might mean traditional or old-fashioned to some, it also conveys a sense of timeless and classic design that never goes out of style. In the lighting industry, nothing says old school like vintage schoolhouse lights. This beautiful kitchen has loads of old-school style from the subway tile backsplash that floats right over the countertops to the rustic ceiling treatment studded with flush mount schoolhouse lights. Where a pendant would hang too low in this space, the flush mount fixtures hug the ceiling and spread just the right amount of glow without being obtrusive.
