Bedroom Comfort and Style = Relaxing Retreats

Posted on by

I think there is nothing more inviting than being able to bring the outdoors into the serenity of your bedroom.  French doors opening onto your patio is a perfect way to not only add space to your room but brighten it as well….and with the addition of a water feature you don’t even need to escape to a spa for the relaxing sound of a fountain. If you have windows in your room now knock out the remainder of the wall, install the French doors and voila, instant access to the yard!  Need a great contractor? I have excellent choices for you on the Tool Bar.

Barn style Home

Having spent much of my life in a barn, out of choice, with my horses and friends… I love the blending of the open concept of a barn with the clean lines of this home. The windows bring the outside in complementing the decor and the beauty of the surrounding property.

Located in Woodside, Judy Seiber’s wonderful Home, Garden and Gift store is as eclectic as it is inspirational.  From her beautiful flower arrangements, outdoor garden scapes to candles, crystal stemware, dinnerware, fine linens and wonderful salts, chocolates and gifts her style is reflected in everything that is in her beautiful shop. Definitely a wonderful place to find something special for a friend or for yourself. The stores address and phone number are found under designers on this site.

Still Chilly Outside….but a good time for researching Spring gardening

One of my favorite Web Sites for all your home and design needs is HOUZZ.  From Gardening to HomeDesign this Web site is so user friendly that it provides you with the manufacturer of a rooms lighting fixture as well as it’s price tag, where and at what cost the quartz counter top you love is located and who supplied the flooring for a particular room they featured in an article. With little price tags that appear when you move your cursor over an item that strikes your fancy you know exactly what to budget. Houzz also provides you with an ” IdeaBook ” so you can save photos of rooms, furniture, cabinetry, etc. that you like. Then when you have the time and resources to make it happen in your home you have it all documented in your private file.

Great Farmhouse Kitchen

If you’re looking for a cozy yet sophisticated and open kitchen, try this idea out. The rough beams throughout the ceiling add rustic character that plays off the elegance of the marble counter tops. To pull the two worlds together, add in some country chic counter seating that is as functional as it is beautiful. The pass through cabinetry allows for a bit more of a formal dining area while maintaining the spaciousness of an open-concept. As an added bonus, you won’t have to fully take in the remnants created  while the whirling dervish was whipping up your delicious meal! Experience the tastes while sharing conversation and worry about the dishes later, once the wine has been flowing and everyone is satisfied. After all, isn’t that what the table is for? Sharing enjoyable conversation while eating wonderfully prepared food….maybe even from the Farm! Link for more beautiful Farmhouse ideas below!
