This contemporary living room highlights cool, blue and gray tones. This home owner incorporated hints of brass in their down bridge floor lamp and Pottery Barn Vince Metal-Clad Accent Stool to complement the gray and blue tones of the wall color. To complete their space the homeowner added cream textiles in throw pillows and blankets, both from Pottery Barn. Featured in this image is the 8.5" x 10" blue Blooming Hydrangea w/ Vase Arrangement. At Nearly Natural we craft our hydrangeas with the highest quality silk materials to bring the most life-like florals to your home.

Celebrate the art of transformation with our captivating mid-century modern remodel, a testament to the power of design. We embarked on a journey to reimagine a 1977 mid-century home, turning it into a rejuvenating family-friendly haven that's perfect for creating cherished memories. While preserving the home's original charm, we expanded the kitchen into an open-concept space, where family and friends can gather and savor meaningful moments. Our design journey included preserving wood paneling, choosing paint for a restorative look, repurposing existing furniture, adding sentimental items, and infusing the space with personalized touches. This collaborative renovation beautifully honors the home's heritage while ushering it into a bright new era of design. Explore this mid-century gem, and let it inspire your own renovation dreams.

Welcome to the dining room at The French Chateau. This room has a special place in my heart as I not only personally curated all the furniture, but also because it contains a very sentimental piece as the focal point. Above the black and gold credenza, you will notice a large, beautiful painting. This original landscape was completed by my uncle, Douglas Roether. My Uncle Doug was a professional artist, and I grew up marveling at his work and his beautiful gallery which he ran in Toledo, Ohio. In 2005, my uncle passed away from cancer much too early. After he passed away his wife held a special final art show in his gallery, and I was able to acquire this stunning piece. It reminds me of him, and the beautiful landscapes in Indiana which are home to me. Now when you enter our home you can see this piece almost immediately and it brings me so much joy as a result. Beautiful design is not just about following best practice design principles but also about nurturing sentiment and meaning in the spaces you spend your time.
