Monday Mentions: December 2022

Hello and Happy New Year! This post is delayed by a week because I planned to write it while my family was at our Farm in West Virginia over the holidays and it turned out that we were without internet for almost the entire time we were there. It was a lovely, albeit forced, respite from all things internet related. There was the occasional "too bad we cannot look it up" comment, overall though, I think everyone appreciated the pause in the end. Now, it is a new year and all things are back up and running, as they say, and it is time to kick 2023 off by looking at some design beauty that is quite inspirational for the projects awaiting tackling this year.


OUTER BEAUTY


I love an enclosed entry on a house and this one is perfection. The house also happens to be in one of my all time favorite towns, Middleburg, Virginia. When I lived in Chevy Chase, Maryland, I would often take the "Virginia Way" to the Farm in West Virginia so that I could stop in this town, about an hour outside of D.C. because it is so charming.

The lantern on this townhouse is so attractive, gorgeous, stunning that I am speechless beyond compliments of beauty.

Jill Sharp Studio


The petrified wood chairs in this outdoor shower area are charming.

Pfeffer Torode


GOOD WOOD


I love the super wide floor boards in this house, may I have them please?

Colin King Studio


The detailing on these new floors will be a showstopper when complete.

Hendricks Churchill


BURNING LOVE


The dark face on this fireplace wall makes a stunning statement.

Edgework Creative


The simplicity of this fireplace wall is equally stunning.

Marie Flanigan Interiors


This fireplace is groovy, man. Neat-o.

EXCEPTIONAL SECTIONAL


I have always wanted a sectional that snugly fits the corner of a cozy room and this one fits the bill.

Alecia Stevens Interiors


This tufted sectional is terrific.

Heidi Caillier Design


FABRIC FRIENDS


Mixing fabrics is like artwork, whether done all in a row, like on the chaise below....

IL-Q


...or seen from room to room, like here.

Emily Janak Interiors


PAINT PAYS


It is often said that nothing changes a room like a fresh coat of paint and to that I say, nothing elevates a room like a well crafted combination of paints.....

Imperfect Interiors

GOOD VIBES


These next five spaces all give off a welcome, good vibe.


This first one is a perfect transition from the transformative power of paint into a room that just feels good because it has both of those elements en masse.

S.R. Gambrel


This collection of artwork, coupled with the colorful spines on the bookshelf, gives off good vibes.

Timothy Whealon Interiors


This room makes you want to walk in, get comfortable, and stay there for a long, long time.

John Robshaw


The pendant over the coffee table and antique grandfather clock take this room to the next level. Love.

Lauren Nelson Design


This family room is fantastic. I particularly love the fabric on the sofa.

DINING ROOM DREAMS


I usually am not a fan of table cloths, I covet this dining room though. The casual elegance of this space is seductive.

McGrath II


A fireplace in the dining room is a dream and this room is dreamy.

Ali Henrie Design


KITCHEN CRUSHES


I love the simplicity of these first three kitchens.

I love the mix of old and new in this kitchen.

Alecia Stevens Interiors


The open cabinet spaces in these next two kitchens add another level of charm to the spaces.

Unique Kitchens and Baths

De Rosee Sa


A mirror behind a kitchen sink is a great trick when the sink is on an interior wall and these antiqued mirror tiles take that trick up a notch (or more).

Whittney Parkinson Design


The nook next to the range hood in this kitchen is charming.

H & Co. Design


The double pendants from a single source in this kitchen camouflage the fact that the sink is not centered beneath the window - in quite a charming way.

SUITE DREAMS


The full wall of drapes in this bedroom that serve both the windows and as the bed's headboard backdrop is luxurious looking.

april tomlin interiors


A bedside table that does double duty as a desk is one of my favorite things to incorporate when decorating a bedroom.

Blanc Marine


SHOWER TIME


I love the curves on this vanity.

Chused & Co.


Bathroom floors are a great way to add character, depth, and dimension to the space.....

Timber Trails Development Company

Work Your Closet


.....as are backsplashes.

McCormick & Wright


END NOTE


This sink and marble backsplash are a great reminder that new isn't always better. You cannot beat the charm of this old utility sink - this is the thing that mudroom dreams are made of. Love.
