House Lust: photographer Amy Neusinger

Today is so incredible out, it has me craving light, airy, open spaces.

I saw a picture of this home on Pinterest awhile back and immediately had to look it up and see more. It is the extremely talented photographer Amy Neusinger's house. (Check out her photography too- it is incredible how every single photo evokes such a mood or convey's an emotion.)

I went through a period where I was really inspired and into Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic when I was in college in Savannah, Georgia. Not only because they sold bed linen's at Target, but because it felt so feminine, comfortable, and home-y while I lived far away. I may have gotten carried away in my bedroom... but it suited Savannah.  The style of Amy Neusinger's house is reminiscent of that- an evolved, modern, industrial take & I'll take it.

I love the subtler, romantic approach to the now overdone industrial. (I still love industrial, but it. is. everywhere.) The house is humble, personal and unique. All the natural light the house gets makes it feel so fresh. Amy has nicely balanced simplicity and charm.  It feels like home & I am ready to visit.

kitchen is one of my favorites! love the contrast of the deep, stained concrete and white cabinets.

note the double troth sink and.... walk in shower. love.
I would love this creative office. A blank canvas to let your imagination reign & your inspiration speak for itself.
eclectic, sophisticated & charming. let the outside in. perfect for parties!

Green with Envy

Not unlike every other blogger out there, March & Saint Patrick's Day have me thinking green... the following left me green with envy. I approve. Maybe I even found something you haven't already seen!

Green is such a versatile color, while I am usually more partial to the lime, chartreuse green variety I love these deeper, darker tones. 

I just love this dining room, the deep gun metal walls and bold drapery have completely transformed the traditional architecture of the room to an edgy, unexpected space. The room was featured in the article "Bright Just Right" published in the September 2011 issue of Veranda magazine, agreed.

SOM - South of Market has room ideas I love, and products I love even more. (even though I can afford nothing)
be inspired here.
Haldane Martin's White Nest in Cape Town, South Africa be inspired here.

Paint something as dramatic as a staircase or a door for a fun, bold punch.

Must find somewhere to incorporate this color.

Overwhelming amount of images? Maybe- but I was inspired & you know the best motto on Saint Patrick's Day- go big or go home.

Indigo blue, I am feeling you.

This space seems creative and lived in, like my possessions/crafts spread out would only add to its' charm.

Maybe I would cook more with a dining room like this?
