Simple Yet Eclectic!
4:12 PM By admin
I fell in love with these kitchens by S.R. Gambrel!
Steven knows how to perfectly combine his individual mix of traditional yet eclectic elements!
As you study each kitchen - you will notice specific elements that you would never think to put together - but yet it works perfectly:
I love to study the work of brilliant designers... I learn something new every time!

Elements Of Reclaimed wood
9:30 AM By admin
We just sold our home and we are now in the process of building a French inspired home in Midway, Ut.
We are so excited to get out into the country and now we're trying to compile visuals that will help compliment a French country home.
I'm so excited to bring you along our journey as I show you detailed images of our upcoming project!
We just barely turned in our plans to the city and hopefully we'll get the go ahead in a couple of weeks!
This particular home is somewhat similar to my last home, but with more of a country feel.
Below are some images that inspire the perfect combinations of reclaimed wood:
Notice the reclaimed wood on the ceiling in that back room -
they went from elegant and refined to rustic and warm
I love this pantry... the Juxtaposition of the rustic ceiling with the shiny tile!
Here is a good idea - add a reclaimed piece of furniture instead!
Doesn't Belgian design reflect the perfect country influence?!
My favorite combinations are French, Belgian and Swedish/Gustavian influences!
Please share some of your ideas, I would love to hear from you!

... I Want One!
7:56 AM By admin
How many of you have a charming little garden?
When I saw these beautiful pictures - all I've been wanting lately is to create a beautiful garden!
I want my kids to learn how to maintain a garden and to work outside more, rather than sit in front of computers and wii games!
I grew up on a farm in Montana and all I did was eat out of my Grandpa's garden and chase chickens around... I have the best memories living on a farm... I miss them.
Hopefully my kids someday will be able to experience the same.
... Here's to living the simple life!!
This summer I'm going to take a little more time to live in the moment and enjoy the simple pleasures of life!
I wish you all a wonderful week!

Steven Gambrel designed this charming home in Sag Harbor, New York.
Steven in known for his timeless, fresh innovative approach to design. This particular home comes with the perfect combination of charm and quirkiness. Each room has its own feel and look, but definitely encompasses the feel of a charming sea captain's home.
I LOVE this designer! He is not afraid to push the envelope, and he does it tastefully!
