    Farmhouse inspiration: A charming upstate farm retreat

    Farmhouse Inspiration

    It’s a dream of all (admit it, all) NYC dwellers to have a country retreat. Kathryn Windley was no exception to the rule. She was tired of her grueling hours as an art director for a Manhattan ad agencies, and was recently divorced. She added a new twist to the New Yorker turned farmer by actually marrying the realtor who found her the property a few years later on the 20-acre grounds!

    This living room is kept bright and cheery by the white upholstery and brightly striped rug.

    In NYC, unless you pay for a separate studio, on never has space in their apartment for a studio.
    One day I hope to have the space to paint and draw again.

     

     

    The barn is actually a garage they designed to look like a barn.

    I adore this kitchen, and Kathryn claims the farmhouse sink is what sold her on the property.  The runner was a once a damaged full-sized carpet she had cut and bound to fit the kitchen.

    What do you think?

  • Inspiration for using copper in your home

    Inspiration for using copper in your home

    Copper accents, Decor, hoods, and tubs

    If you haven’t noticed, copper is BIG right now. Wether you can only afford to go small with decor like copper hardware, cookware, planters, or lighting OR if you are lucky enough to go big like with a copper tub, range hood, gutter, or doors, there is plenty of inspiration below. So get your Christmas list out and get ready to take notes!

    Want to start small? If you’re nervous about integrating copper in your decor or simply have a more modest budget, copper pendants are a great way to add the warmth and patina in your home.

    Want to go grandiose? It doesn’t get more beautiful than this modern copper door.  It brings out the warmth in the stones perfectly, and will continue to be beautiful with age.

    I take a lot of hot baths in the winter.  This tub would be more than adequate for soaking.

     

    I couldn’t decide which example of a copper hood to show you, so I thought you wouldn’t mind seeing both. I wouldn’t mind having either!

    Copper farmhouse sink!!! Leaded glass windows!

    Depending on your number of cabinets, copper hardware can be an affordable way to integrate copper into your decor.

    One great source of copper goods is World Copper Smith  They offer a wide variety ranging from kitchen hardware to copper bathtubs.

    This range would look stunning in any kitchen.

    Even a sink can be dressed up with copper.

    This copper table is a work of art.

     

    In a tub like this I would spend many evenings soaking.

  • Kitchen Trends

    Some of my favorite kitchen trends seem to come and go, but most of them always come back! Here are a few things my dream kitchen must have:

    A must have is an island! I absolutely love the thought of an island in a kitchen, and especially one that stands out a little like this with the dark wood counter top. 
    What a great undermounted, farm style sink when paired with the countertops and cabinet styles.
    There’s something about a farmhouse sink that makes me smile. I love under mounted sinks to begin with but I love the function of them as well as the look!

    Another must have is a large gorgeous hood! I may not be a professional cook but in my dream kitchen there would be a large hood that makes a statement.
    Seriously...why is this not the norm?
    And last but not least, a must have is great storage! There’s no point in having a luxurious kitchen if I can’t easily find everything I need.
