Creating a harmonious and functional living space is more than just filling a room with furniture. How you arrange your furniture can make or break the look and feel of your room. While there's no one-size-fits-all solution, avoiding common mistakes can transform your space from cluttered and awkward to cozy and inviting. In this blog, we'll explore the top 10 furniture layout fails and provide tips on correcting them.
If you have been following our work for any length of time, you've probably noticed that we love incorporating natural materials into our designs. We find joy in bringing the beauty of nature indoors, creating environments that exude warmth, authenticity, and a timeless appeal. Materials like wood, stone, and linen are three elements that we turn to again and again to create spaces that exude these principals.

We've been busy packing and cleaning and updating this last six months at our old house, but I've needed to allow myself some "dream" time to think and gather some inspiration for what I'd like in our next home. I loved my little sunporch; it was a place I expressed myself and had fun. It was a place I could play and decorate and change up for whatever holiday and when the mood would strike. Color and pattern and lots of vintage goodies made it my own special play room. May 2013 (Following images can be found on my Pinterest boards, Planked Walls and Potting Benches.) I know that I'd love to have a bigger space in this next house, but it needs to be a sunroom. Not just a porch. It was often too cold in the winter months to fully enjoy it, so I really want this new space to be part of the house, and hopefully right off the kitchen like before. These are inspiration pics of what I'd like to do with the shape of the room and the planked walls. I love the look of an old home, maybe added on to over time, and think that the "cathedral" or arched ceiling with planks and beams would be perfect for that vintage vibe. My first love has always been vintage garden goods, so I thought it would be fun to have the sunroom also have the look of a potting or garden shed. LOVE those beams! These pics are just to get an idea of the ceiling and walls. I want a white or neutral backdrop for all the vintage pieces and elements to show. This sunroom space would serve as a sitting room, and a place to relax and watch tv or read. But I want it to be rustic and garden-y, too. And of course a chandelier or two would be perfect. with a set of French Doors. A cupboard for pots and vintage garden goodies... I always love Kathleen's wonderful inspiration! A place to display old garden tools... I'm the biggest fan of Mary's wonderful Potting Shed. http://homeiswheretheboatis.net/2011/03/28/gardening-rules/ I love all the light in this wonderful greenhouse, but wouldn't want glass roofing... not with the hail we get in this part of the country. and I'm hoping there's a way to include a brick or stone floor... or maybe just a "look alike". This may be where my big armoire in the kitchen ends up, if so, I'd love to paint it a weathered gray. My favorite wicker pieces from the old sunporch would be there, and I want to find a white slipcovered loveseat for more seating. and make room for my potting table... then put my little window conservatory on top. OK, just sharing a few ideas that are rattling around in my head. We haven't made any solid plans as yet, but it's not too soon to start dreaming. Hope you all are having a great week... We're making real progress at the home front. We worked on the two decks last weekend, painting and repairs... I only have one word for that... YUCK!

Many vacation homes (in particular condos) are built to sleep a crowd, but the common, gathering spaces are often too small to comfortably seat as many people as your home can sleep. Problem, right?

I've never wanted the tv to be a focal point of the home, and so we always put it to the side on a console. We had the same small tv for ten years, and after living in the new house, we were stuck with the problem of not having a space for one other
