  • Vintage Accents in Modern Bathrooms: How a Touch of Timelessness Will Enhance Your Modern Aesthetic

    Vintage Accents in Modern Bathrooms: How a Touch of Timelessness Will Enhance Your Modern Aesthetic

    Bathroom technology and design have thankfully come a long way in the last century, giving us more comfortable, utilitarian, and efficient furniture. Bulky vanities, ugly shower heads, and inefficient toilets have given way to sleek cabinets, beautiful chrome fixtures, and super efficient toilets! A fresh coat of paint and simple lighting have taken over the home decor trend by storm.

    The modern bathroom is truly a high point in the history of bathroom design. But sometimes all the modern stuff just starts to feel a little too clean. Too functional. Too efficient. It makes the bathroom feel more clinical. I guess you can say that the modern bathroom sometimes can feel a bit boring.

    Bathroom trends that focus on the sleek modern look are much better than we had before, but adding a touch of character with a vintage piece can be even more stunning than before. Seamlessly fusing the past and present together is a great way to create vibrant focal points in your bathroom, and if done well, can create an ambiance that is truly timeless. Just a touch of vintage can go a really long way toward perfecting your bathroom design!

    An elegant, antique trim mirror against a simple white wall may be beautiful, but a rustic wood vanity will make your modern bathroom drastically warmer and more welcoming. Farm style basins perfectly offset sleek glass-and-steel shower enclosures and modern vanity cabinets. Shiny chrome accent pieces are sophisticated and a little futuristic, but paired with rich wooden wall tiles they become absolutely stunning!

    What do you think? Can you imagine a great combination of vintage and modern?

  • Light Bright Kitchen

    Light Bright Kitchen

    Light and bright does not mean you have to do head to toe white! If you are looking for a nice bright kitchen without it being completely whitewashed, here’s a little inspiration that can help:
    Ilot central, carreaux de ciment, chêne clair, fenêtres arrondies... and so on...
    A light natural wood will never steer you wrong! It goes great with the light and airy feel and looks clean too.
    Not into wood? A simple gray or tan can keep your kitchen nice and bright and pair’s nicely with white accents for a timeless feel.

  • How to Incorprate Wood Crates in your Home Decor

    Wood crates are a timeless item to have in your home and can be used in so many ways I can only touch on a few or this post would be enormous! Here are a few of my favorite ways they have been used to create extra storage and look amazing at the same time.

    DIY Coffee Table. You can buy these crates at any craft store. Regardless of whether your an artist or creative, I refuse to pay 500+ for a new coffee table. My first thought was making a pallet coffee table. Pallets are free and with a few scrapes of wood you could throw it together fairly easy. BUT, everyone's doing that now, so I had to find

    The wood crate coffee table! My favorite part of this specific one is that they added wheels to the bottom to make it mobile. This is a great way to add storage and keep a handy place to set things down on as well.

    Wood crate bookcases have been a huge hit and I agree. They are a great way to create shelving and there are so many ways you can stack them to create the look you are going for. 
    This is one of the most creative ways I’ve seen crates used! This island is something I would have never expected but I absolutely love it. The crates are gorgeous.

    Goodbye are the wicker baskets, in are the crates! This a great storage solutions for blankets pillows, or just the clutter that happens in the living room!
    Have open shelving but need a little extra hidden storage? Crates are perfect for that!
