Vintage details from Cabbages & Roses

 Cabbages & Roses is one of those all time favorite 

inspirational "stops" for me.  I just adore the use of fabric

/ pattern/ texture and the awesome detail shots.

Painted Red

one of the great benefits of wood, is that you can paint it, strip it, repaint, sand it down, varnish it, stain it ... you get it, don't you?

here are three great examples of how a coat of red, in this instance has totally livened up

the individual spaces....

how awesome is this staircase - so much more interesting in a vibrant red!!!

and a gorgeous old wooden seat for the patio .....

tea anyone???

Country Styled Kitchens

I adore a country styled kitchen, albeit with modern cons to get the job done in double time (hehe!)

This is another sampling of white or neutral based rooms enhanced with touches of natural textures such as wood.
