Rustic Barn House

This rustic and refined barn house, located within a vineyard near Rochester, New York, seemed appropriate to post on this wet autumnal evening. Beautiful details in this home include the 75mm thick solid maple kitchen island bench top (heavy!), the worn patina on the leather wing chair, the internal timber beam coming from the 150 year old barn frame as well as all the lovely natural details and displays through out.

A Flowering Garden

I'm certainly not ready to leave behind the summer that didn't really arrive! However Autumn is here to stay and made its presence this morning with a chill to the air.

So to see the end of Summer, here is a flowering garden and home from landscape designer, Judy Tomkins - I love the appearance of the flowers both outside in the garden and inside the home. Happy Friday all and have a lovely weekend.

Stylish Living in a Brooklyn Brownstone

Martha Stewart Living editor, Pilar Guzman, her husband and their boys reside in this stylish Brooklyn brownstone.
The family gather in the kitchen which opens to the living and dining area.

This is one stylish and very liveable Brooklyn brownstone belonging to Martha Stewart Living editor, Pilar Guzman and her family. The original character details of the building are beautifully highlighted and the modern/vintage feel of this home is so well composed - it's hard not be impressed! Check out the vintage Arne Jacobsen Swan chair and Finn Juhl Model 45 chair (top right) as well as the vintage Spanish chairs by Borge Morgensen (third from top right). I really like this place...
