A potpourri of modern but cozy interiors

I've put together a little collection here of some interiors that I thought were modern, but still felt like home. They are peaceful, light-filled, and lovely. What do you think?



I like the shelf above the bed

a nice, bright work space

very french chic with an industrial twist


the rug is a bit much for me, but I like that this room isn't over-staged.

Lovely coastal and country French furnishings

While in Colmar, a city in the Alsace region of France, I saw this store, Maisons du Monde, from the street and they had a stack of magazines outside the shop. So I picked one up for some train reading material. They have some nice styling, and the furniture seems decent, so I thought I'd share. Can anyone attest to the quality?


- never seen a couch with such high arms!





They seem to carry furnishings in all different styles.

really like the chair.

This would be a great piece for a fine artist!









What do you think? Kinda has a Pottery Barn look to it.

A really great sample sale for all French country and vintage lovers!

This sale is for items gently used by Redefine Home in photo shoots. They have some really great deals but there's only one of each item - so hurry if you're interested!

The sale's here!


ADORE this cabinet

A sand dollar shadow box

SUPER Glamourous French and Shabby Chic furniture

You'll love this shop I'm sure - Sweetpea and Willow, in Ireland and London, has so many gorgeous things I could furnish my whole house with their stuff!

Okay - this bed. I LOVE that the opulent white wash frame is paired with a modest gray linen. Seriously I might have to get this bed one day.


Isn't this the cutest chair?
