lights and fabric - I love this house, nice work...I have 3 questions. Can you please tell me the info of the fabric on chairs? Wondering where the chandelier came from, as well as lights above sink? Thank- you. I would love to see more pics of the house if you have, would like to see what the master bedroom looks like. »
Michelle Fries, BeDe Design, LLC Thank you Danalee1969. More photos of this house can be seen under my Crosslake Home Ideabook. Unfortunately, the Master is not included in those. All of my lighting was purchased from a local lighting store in St. Paul, MN called Creative Lighting. I found the chair covers at a fabric market in Shanghai, China and had the slipcovers made. Thanks you!
danalee1969 Thanks for answering, Michelle... again, your work is sweet, with how you tie all those elements ( or whatever the word is) together. not surprised, stuff I like would be found in a market in China.. I checked out the rest of the house and love it..that bathroom with the wallpaper is great.
rck1976 I found another similar image/color in the February 2013 Southern Living magazine. It's a Benjamin Moore color called "Kensington Green." Funny, I just found it today!
Michelle Fries, BeDe Design, LLC This is a custom-built home in Minnesota. There is a small attached guest cottage with one bedroom. The total square footage is about 3500sf. There are three bedrooms upstairs and the kitchen, dining area and livingroom are on the main floor with a screened in porch. More photos of this home are in my Ideabook "Crosslake". Thanks for the question!
Cushion with soft color. Softer colors seem even sweeter when they are brought into a room made with rugged material. The robin’s egg blue of the cabinets here is amusing against the rough wood beams and reclaimed wood floor. Don't be afraid to hang a chandelier from a wood ceiling. (I do it all the time.) Swag the light to keep the look homespun.
Look for fixtures that are weathered or have a patina because these are your keywords for discovering items that look like they’ve already been loved. Wood, which often looks weathered, is another standby of rustic design and is found everywhere from the ceilings to the floors.
