Contemporary Meets Arts & Crafts

I adore much of the architectural style that came out of Arts & Crafts movement/Craftsman style homes. I am loving the way {this} 1920's craftsman style has been transformed, while still keeping much of the original character. The high-end modern furniture and chic handmade decorative accents have put a whole new spin on Arts & Crafts.

Before & After Chair

This before and after chair project was a recent favorite of mine from {Design*Sponge}. Absolutely beautiful work! I love the contemporary colors and stripes with a traditional floral design with the hint of wood grain coming through. I think I just got inspired to do something like this to my dinner table and chairs...

Restoration Hardware Fans!

I have been spending a lot of time in Southern California with family lately - this past weekend I was able to squeeze in a bit of "me time" to stroll around Old Town Pasadena. Being that retail shopping in San Luis Obispo is limited, it is always nice to hit up some of my favorites that we don't have in town. While walking through {Restoration Hardware}, one thing in particular caught my eye and it was these beautiful vintage style {fans}.
