Deep Bowl Barn Pendant Adds Big Wow Factor to Dining Space

What separates a pleasant, inviting space from one that actually makes people stop and say, “Wow!” — it’s the wow factor, of course. Some rooms have it, some don’t. This room definitely has it and, in our opinion, the wow factor comes from above in the shape of a substantial deep bowl barn pendant. Now don’t get us wrong, there’s a lot to love in this farmhouse kitchen. Those dark wood floors contrasting with the white board-and-batten walls, the awesome bay window, and the industrial touch the dining chairs lend to the whole space.

Deep Bowl Pendants Bring Polished Look to Industrial Kitchen

Nestled in between Brazil and Argentina on the southeastern coast of South America lies tiny Uruguay, a stunning country of rolling plains and fertile coast land. Progressive in politics, business, and environmental causes, it’s no wonder former San Franciscan photographer Heidi Lender decided to pack up and move there. Her new digs were recently featured on Remodelista, and one of our favorite pictures from that post was of her farmhouse style kitchen. The light gray-washed brick walls set off the dark wood of the exposed beams and long dining table beautifully while the pie safe with tin panels adds a country touch. Lender purchased the vintage O’Keefe and Merrit stove and had it shipped to Uruguay — a perfect fit in this tiny kitchen. Read More »

American B&B Owners Add Vintage Industrial Lighting to French Rental

From time to time, we do see an example of classic, American inspired lighting seen in a foreign country. It usually brings the question to mind whether the place in question is owned by natives to the aforementioned land, or designed by an American transplant; somebody looking forward to an overseas escape. Well, in regards to this home, we have a clear answer. Formulated by a husband and wife design team from the Maine area, they took their talents to a small town in Provence to expand their already successful Bed and Breakfast concept: The Marston House.

Porcelain Cord-Hung Pendant Brings Vintage Touch to Kitchen

Another design trend we see popping up everywhere from farmhouses to seaside cottages to downtown lofts is the use of subway tiles. Subway tile originated from the white porcelain tiles that were installed in the New York subway system as far back as 1904. Subway tiles are characterized by their rectangular shape and a staggered application like a brick wall. The tiles come in a wide variety of colors, materials, and even sizes although traditional subway tiles measure 3 x 6 inches. Subway tiles were quite popular in the early 1900s, and like all things vintage, subway tiles are making a roaring comeback.
