I love the combination of white with wood/lace with browns and reds. It’s so cozy and yet beautiful. This top right photo is so gorgeous – it was taken by one of my favorite photographers, Tyson French. Such a beautiful shot.

I wanted to do something a little different and pick a few specific images from Pinterest that I really love not just for the visual aesthetic, but the content. This first one is of really neat small house. Everything is very compact and neat – everything has its own place so as to minimize the need for space. I would love to someday have a tiny little house like this, off the grid, and be as self-sustaining as possible. The idea of being totally independent is so attractive! My favorite thing about this house is the wood. The dark with the light is beautiful, and creates so much dimension! You can see more photos of it and read more here.
