it's in the mix

If I stay true to what I love, and all the time I feel more and more comfortable and confident in doing so ( it takes time doesn't it?! ) I love the mix of warm wood in a space. Whether old or new, an inexpensive find, or full of family history, mixed with a creamy white and black, I just love it-

Helen Bertelson's dining and bedroom via style at home and a kitchen that has me weak in the knees every time I look at it-

and a classic, that I'm sure we all fell for when it was originally featured in Canadian House and Home, a kitchen by Tommy Smythe.. the floors, lighting, table, cabinets.. it's an elegance that's timeless-

What have you discovered you love in a space?
