a sweet friend of mine is moving into the country with her man. he is a winemaker (HOW COOL IS THAT?!) and they want to be closer to where that all happens in beautiful Oregon! She likes the idea of a country home but doesn't want that to take over. I'm trying to help her come up with some decorating ideas! I think beautiful glass jars like these would help put a modern look in the kitchen
this room has a country backdrop with some "new" items in it- bright wood table and the flowers.
a fun modern print that still has a country feel
the colors in this room are very country. maybe keeping a setting like this but adding in some bright colors, get rid of the pastels and go for some bolds!?
Love it!! I LOVE the black/white/red/orange kitchen stuff and oddly enough, my kitchen IS black/white/red ish!!
ReplyDeleteand the fabric! I saw it at fabric depot last week and now i'm convinced that it must be perfect if you found it too!
Thank you, thank you, liv!!
(Now please let me win the lottery so you and I can go shopping and buy a million new things for my home!) love you!
I love french country styling with a hint of modern flair. Its definitely doable. A winemaker, now that is a dream job.
ReplyDeleteChunky rustic wood mixes well with steel in my opinion. Or with clear chairs. Ad rustic pieces with whites, light grays, lighter colors to brighten things up. Also be careful with too many patterns. Country styles love patterns but you'll veer into that too country look.
The main reason I love the movie "Its complicated" is because of how Meryl Streeps kitchen, house, bakery.
is decorated.
