Formex - trä och natur

Trots alla färgsprakande montrar i vårens alla färger gillade jag ändå naturtemat bäst. Robust och rått trä gärna i kombination med lite industrikänsla som i Olsson&Jensens monter. Trä i alla de former satte igång ett litet habegär och jag som inte brukar vara så förtjust i brunt och beige tyckte plötsligt att det här var hur snyggt som helst. Bilderna är mina egna och tagna från entréutställningen, Choff Design (träaskar), Reunion Home, Olsson&Jensen och Walles & Walles.

Blog Award

Jag fick för en tid sedan en blog awards från bloggen Åpent hus. Väldigt smickrande och kul - tack för det!



I den här awarden ingår att man ska skicka den vidare till andra bloggar. Eftersom det finns så otroligt många bra bloggar är det ett helt hopplöst uppdrag. Men jag har nyligen upptäckt några nya som jag gillar. Ni kanske känner till dem väl, men jag har precis upptäckt dem och tycker att de förtjänar lite extra uppmärksamhet. Så därför skickar jag den här blog awardsen vidare till dem!

Beach House Renovation with a Twist

It's always exciting to hear from my readers! Last week one of my readers contacted me and let me know about Michael Greenberg Associates in Connecticut. He owns a wonderful architectural firm which also has a beautiful cabinetry arm. My reader's husband used to work for them and she knew I would love their work. She was so right!

This is a stunning old beach house renovation in Connecticut done by Greenberg.

I love the openness of this home, but I also like how they kept the old feeling by making sure they used similar, substantial mouldings. A lovely mix of slipcovers, sisal, rattan and glass! All give it a beach house vibe, with class.

The dining room is rather sparse, but it really goes with the New England Beach look. I like striped fabric on the upholstered end chairs and the solid fabric on the side chairs. Traditional with a twist.

The sunroom really captures the spectacular outdoor views. I like how the furniture echos the grid lines on the windows. The subtle furnishings blend, as they should, and do not compete with the view.

Here is another view of the kitchen. Traditional New England Beach House style with white marble counters. Very Christopher Peacock! I like the center island - not sure what the top material is - Corian? The big whisk is fun! I actually have one that I picked up yeas ago at a flea market, but mine is in a box in my basement waiting for the right photo shoot!

I love the color of the Master bedroom! Notice the cowhide rug on the floor - we are seeing these everywhere now! To read an previous post about cowhide rugs click here

Lovely master bath - The window placement and the mirror is interesting. I have a similar set up in my own master bath. I also love the textural element of the beadboard.

Finally the wonderful outdoor screened porch. It really is a room of its own with the fieldstone fireplace.

What a spectacular view!

My reader and her husband relocated to Utah and he just completed another gorgeous home. The workmanship and detail are amazing! Here's a sneak peek of part of the exterior. I will be posting the rest the home later this week! See you then!
