Log Cabin Chic? {seriously}

Okay, so truth be told, I never thought I would have log cabin envy. But do I ever have log cabin envy. I guess with a little vision and a good dose of design savvy, anything is possible. The transformation of this home is so inspiring. Somehow, the juxtaposition of the clean, modern, bright furnishings really makes the lovely wooden interiors sing. And the furnishings themselves look all the more striking juxtaposed against the warm woody walls, ceilings, and floors. Sounds like a match made in heaven. Actually, in Nashville. Tennessee that is.

Location::Kid Space

Although I love the simplicity and ethereal feel of an all white space, in reality I don't think I could actually live in one. The constant upkeep to ensure it remains pristine would send me into fits of madness. Nonetheless, these children's rooms make me think that it is possible, even with kiddos in the house, to live inside this white shell. The surfaces in these rooms appear to be child friendly; either plastic or a little shabby already and nothing seems overly precious. I'd love to get down on the floor and spend some playtime in these lovely spaces.
