Rustic Whites



My focus this summer season

is adding touches of a

rustic feel to the Dior home...


{Custom Pillows}

 by lovely Rose of The Tarnished Crown





{Curb side finds}

Vintage leather chair and an old

luggage stand topped with glass

 for a quick end table...


An old piece of wood scaffold

propped against the wall

for character...




Old produce crate to house some beach wood




{Curb side reclaimed wood}

Used for a head board

white washed in gray

fits nicely with linens from the Goodwill.


 All linens from the Simply Shabby Chic

line sold at Target.

{ I rotate five local Goodwills to purchase Target overstock}




Beautiful coral in our home

from my friend Loretta...





Wood Lamp and linen shade

are both Goodwill finds

I painted a chalk gray wash over the lamp base





{Perfect for relaxing}






{I love mixing old wood with white}






This week I will be joining some very

lovely ladies...







{Sneak Peek}

 These bold & graphic 

custom pillows made by my friend Rose

inspired me for a design project

that I will be sharing in

the upcoming weeks...




Much love to each of you

XOXO

  6. Your bedroom is so soothing. I just love all your organic touches. Great finds. I can't believe it. I found a similar leather chair curbside, but sold it. It had a taller back. Wish I'd kept it.

  9. You and I think alike girl....I love the weathered wood mixed with whites. So soothing!!! All your bedding is beautiful as well.

    I'm hoping to do a little redo in both my daughter's bedrooms this Summer and new bedding is a major part of it. We've been looking at Target recently trying to decide:-)
