~a restoration hardware home~

What do you think of this home decorated completely Restoration Hardware style?

I think it's a little over the top, but that wouldn't stop me from moving in…..

~meet Annie~{and tour her home}

I want you all to see my friend Annie's home. 

Annie and her husband Rusty have one daughter who is 20 and away at college.

Check out their gorgeous rambler that happens to border my parents property, where I grew up.

I remember going to this house when I was little to visit the previous owners who were elderly at that time. Since then it has been totally gutted and doesn't even look like the same house.

I didn't know I was going to be taking pictures when I went over there, so please pardon the camera photos.

When you first walk in the double glass entry doors you see this sunken living room:

The house has a open floor plan for the most part. Here is the informal dining room:

The shelving in the dining room:

A peek into the kitchen to the entry:

Hallway:

The master bedroom:

And finally, the exterior which has a huge perfectly manicured yard:

{you can see my parents garage in the back}

The front of the house.

These pictures from my phone do not do it justice.

They have a huge circular gravel driveway and there is boxwood gardens all around. 

The garage with climbing roses.

I hope you enjoyed the tour!

Thanks to Annie and Rusty for letting me break into their house and take these :)

~Keller Farmhouse~

I wanted to share with you photos of Keller Farmhouse.

These are the after photos, click here to see the befores.

I always love a good before and after!

Jenny, the homeowner, owns Jenny Cookies, a fabulous company where she not only bakes delicious good looking treats, but shows you fun party diy's etc.

She also has a workshop coming up which you can sign up for here.

I am lucky enough to live in the same area as her so I think I will be attending!

Now, let's take a tour around her gorgeous rustic yet refined farmhouse.

Is anyone else thinking it looks like a Joanna and Chip Gaines Fixer upper house?

I love every detail! 

Hope you enjoyed the tour.

~an eclectic inspiring home~

Once the holiday decorations come down, I am always left with a blank slate and sometimes get the urge to try something new.

This gets me usually stalking Pinterest all hours of the night, or hopping around from blog to blog.

I came across this eclectic home, and while it's not the look I am after, I was drawn to it somehow.

Curious to see what you think.

~a stylist's fashionable home tour~

Meet my friend Tiffany.

She lives in West Seattle with her husband Kyle and their 8 year old twins Flynn and Lula James. 

Tiffany is a Stylist and Personal Shopper working with clients in NY, SF, LA, and Seattle. 

You can take a peek at her work right here.

All photography by Deb Achak. 

Are you ready for the fabulous tour?

Let's start with this fabulous kitchen:

The kitchen is painted C2 Shaker.

The floor is eco friendly Marmoleum. 

The refrigerator is a chalkboard that has their weekly schedule including meals {each family member gets to choose one week a meal}

Pendants are Serena and Lily.

Espresso machine is by rocket, and the sign by the refrigerator says, "stop worrying" and is torn from a photo book and placed in a vintage frame. 

The dining room:

Walls are high gloss Benjamin Moore Hale Navy.

The wave print is from Ikea.

The end chairs were purchased for $25 at Senior Center and painted a high gloss white and seats recovered in blue leopard.

The table used to be her husbands desk. She covered it in a white leather hyde and topped that with stamped glass with reverse painted gold and added gold tacks to hold it all together. 

The gold tassel bench is from a flea market.

The guest bedroom is where she takes all her blog photos.

Walls are Benjamin Moore Sky Blue.

The vanity is from a flea market and she recovered the seat with pink velvet.

The bed is a French made canopy from San Francisco with World Market drapes on all four sides. 

I love her living room.

Walls are painted Benjamin Moore Pink Bliss.

The piece above the mantle is a brass vintage light fixture sprayed white.

Flamingos are from Pacific Galleries 

{which if you live in this area, you know Pacific Galleries!}

The rolling ottoman Tiffany picked up at a garage sale and the chairs are from Ikea.

The pillows are all custom except the elephant, which is also from Pacific Galleries. 

The hide rug is from World Market. 

The blanket is vintage from Sand Point Idaho, and the gold table is from Target.

Green lamp was $25 at a flea market.

The large mirror is antique and the painting is done by her talented twin sister.

Her website is here. 

The vintage tribal breast plate from the 60's is from a garage sale in West Seattle and was only $25.00.
The silver pouf is from Target, similar here.

This stair runner is actually 3 Dash and Albert woven area rugs repurposed to make a runner.

The office was originally a mud room. The walls are raspberry {by Authentic Home} and inside of cabinets is painted matte grey.

{Dove Gray, Authentic Home}

The rug is from Pacific Galleries, as well as the chair.

The wooden elephant is from a flea market.

The twins room:

Beds from Craigslist, painted white.

Bedding from Target with assorted pillows.

Light is from Crate and Barrel, 
{similar here}
and the bedside table from a garage sale.

The master bedroom is my favorite!

Rugs are from Santa Fe. The dresser used to be painted metal and she stripped it. The antique end tables have their polished slate tops turned upside down to be chalkboards.

The purple lamps are from Pottery Barn and the walls are matte black, Benjamin Moore Baby Seal Black.

The hallway is painted Dove Gray with Ikea frames holding assorted photos and kids artwork.

And just for fun.....

Love, love, love this home.

In fact, I am totally obsessed. 

Thank you Tiffany for letting us all in!
