Use herringbone pattern as a "rug." Gorgeous. Image via Pure Style Home

Floor.

Poor Tony might have done all that work for nothing!


Since there was so much glue (from 5 layers of linoleum) between the cracks of our existing wood floors the refinishers said they would not be able to remove it all and the glue would show through-so we replaced them with new flooring. It has yet to be stained but it's in. Hooray for continued progress!

Friday Favorites

In order to seek some organization in my life and on my desktop, I present to you my favorite pictures I've seen this week.
I am such a sucker these lion door knobs and that shade of blue. I would bet a million bucks that house is in Charleston.

Sliding doors. One day I'll add these to my home. (preferably barn doors) but these are great.

I love that simple upholstered bed and the exposed brick in this loft

Well that's a fun fabric for a traditional sofa!

This sofa = perfection. It's those pleats

Chevron flooring at it's finest.

This is semi-busy, yet i am loving how personal the dining room looks with

the shelves stuffed with the eclectic picture display

Love those lanterns, the wood plank ceiling, the sisal rug, the grey paint with the antiqued mirrors with upholstered Parson chairs but something doesn't feel homey about this room...i think they needed a golden retriever lying on the carpet!

That modern fireplace is a great mix of simple and industrial. I think the Miami bachelor could use this in his great room. Too bad the only use for a fireplace in South Florida is the ambiance, but not everything has to be functional.
