the right way to convert a barn into a home

Shed is a Seatlle based firm which was founded on the motto "we design things and we make them". Shed has grown since that motto was coined and now is no longer responsible for all the construction of their designs, but continues to hold strong to these main beliefs:

" We believe that architecture is a practical art.
   We believe that a pragmatic approach yields progressive design solutions.
   We believe that buildings must use resources wisely.
   We believe that architecture must sustain the way people live, work and play."

le souk

This is pimp:
No, kid's rooms do not have to be full of color.
Yes, it can still be playful and interesting with a muted pallete.

Le Souk "unique living" offers both the amazing crib (that grows with your child), as well as this great deer printed duvet. Check out their website for more beautiful pieces.

Tine K Home

Tine Kjeldsen opened her company in Denmark at the young age of 22. Kjeldsen has stood out amongst the other "shabby chic" interior decorators in the area by creating "a more minimalistic approach: clean colors in grey, blue, white, dark brown and black which eventually lead to the creation of a collection of cushions and quilts, and consequently the foundation of the company Tine K Home."

The posting below is a selection of images from Tine's own Danish home which clearly defines her company's style and methodology to creating a minimalistic home (all the while offering a cozy feel)

"According to me, the future is interesting, difficult and rather complex, but I try not to complicate matters: live your life in a simple way – and live in happiness.
I am confident, I stay true to myself, and I am sure my collection is a reflection of how I perceive myself. Hence its name: Remember Yourself." - Tine Kjeldsen

ryall porter sheridan architects

New York City firm, Ryall Porter Sheridan Architects, creates engaging modern homes, yet finds a way to bring comfort to the interiors by filling spaces with cozy materials and interesting shapes. The loft featured on this post is one of the more modern interior spaces. Located in SoHo, Porter took over two lofts and rooftop space to create this three story home.

The oven seen in this image is a "Turbo Chef" oven. They are so cool and come in more colors too! I love that they changed up the shapes between the two ovens.

wooden beams / clean lines

The attraction to "Modern/Minimal" has recently evolved into "Modern/Rustic" for me. I have found myself leaning towards raw woods paired with clean lines. And I can't get enough! I think these images describe the complimentary qualities I am talking about . . .
