I love the stationery designs of Turtle Papers, a creative studio based in Seattle. Lots more to peruse here!

inspired by: a beach cottage in mint
An old cottage in Gloucester, Massachusetts, is the charming, breezy, inspiring setting for a beach wedding. See more of Caroline and Cornelius' lovely wedding at Snippet & Ink.
touch of toile
I love this dining scene: Just a touch of toile (featuring a unique boats theme) on the table runner in a minimalist setting (Photo: Polly Wreford for Red).
See my previous post, An Easygoing Kitchen, for shopping resources for the "wishbone" chairs. The table is from Twentytwentyone.

the fabulous home of jossefine, andreas, and snuff
Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. I spent the past few days house hunting and wish I had come across a place like this open and refreshing house in Ronneby, Sweden. This is the charming, c. 1947 home of Jossefine, Andreas, and Snuff the dog (photos: Maria-Isabel Hanson for Hus & Hem).
For even more inspiration, check out Jossefine's vintage, industrial, and handmade wares shop, In My House.

bathroom of the week: practical vs. pretty
Here's a photo of my master bath. The marble counters were culled from an old dormitory that was being renovated at the University of North Carolina. Along the lines of the form versus function debate, I'll offer that the reclaimed wood floors may not be the most practical choice here. Instead, I would try painted wood floors or tile. Two of my favorite magazine baths show these alternate options:
From the (sadly) now defunct Domino magazine, the bathroom of the amazing and talented designer/homeowner Sheila Bridges (photo: Laura Resen). This bath, where Bridges painted the wide plank floors a high-gloss white, is in Bridges' guesthouse. The 19th-century Colonial cottage overlooks the Hudson River.
From Southern Living, folk art color in a Georgia bathroom with classic, mini hexagonal (aka "chicken wire" patterned) floor tiles.

last of the hydrangeas
Here's a photo I took after bidding farewell to our hydrangea bush. It was dead at the roots, but a few blooms were hanging on. I clipped them off to enjoy them inside while we could and hand out to neighbors. We replaced it with a butterfly bush that grew really quickly and actually attracts beautiful butterflies (lots of them)!
What's blooming in your garden?

Blogger and country design and gardens enthusiast Trina chronicles the restoration of her Pacific Northwest home in her blog, aptly called A Country Farmhouse. Trina and her husband are doing beautiful work as they turn this old farmhouse into a stunning home. Pictured below are "after" shots of the dining room, bathroom, and kitchen. Be sure to visit the blog to see the "before" shots as well as the entryway, living room, and lots more!
