Just can't get enough!

I was on Greet's blog "Belgian Pearls," which is my all time favorite blog, and I clicked on one of her favorite sites entitled Rik Storms Ancient Building Materials.  All I can say is I was in heaven, not only with the furniture/building materials, but with the pictures as well.  I am so obsessed with this look!!  Here are five pics from his site:

Belgian style home from "House Beautiful."

Gorgeous French/Belgium room from "Cote Quest."

Loving the cut timbers!

"House Beautiful"  I love those shutters!!!

"Koekken"  One of my all time favorite kitchens!  I would just need a ladder for those cabinets.

Now how would I create this look and where would I find the furniture to create this look?

New Ideas - New blogs

Thanks to Kate from Hall Ready Blog I was introduced to fantastic company Surface View.

Kate concentrate on everything and anything related to art and interiors.

Surface View Blog

Homes & Gardens magazine had a feature on Vibrant Design. A very impressive large scale canvas print from the V&A collection at Surface View was used in the above shoot.This shoot features a stunning National Maritime Museum piece Midship section from HMS Fearless produced as a Stretched Canvas print.

so art is going big.

Here at VT interiors we also use large scale canvas prints with a great success.

Prints

Loving Andrea Laliberte.

I would love to use this prints in a new project - bedroom for a young lady.

My blue/green home

I had the opportunity to recently get to know a fabulous photographer named Ashlee Raubach.  I am so impressed by her talent and passion for photography!  Her blog is ashleeraubachphotography.blogspot.com.  Here you will be able to see her amazing talents!  Below are a few pictures she took of my home, which I like to call my blue/green home.

This is my kitchen, I used turquoise subway tiles next to ashy-white painted cabinetry with white carrera marble.

This is my master bath.  I love Bouvet hardware, vintage chandeliers from France, old ladders and soft green sea foam paint.

Ashlee loves to take pictures of detail, which I'm all about when it comes to designing or building a home.  Crystal glass knobs from "Anthropologie" and vintage French details coupled with mercury glass is my passion!

As you can tell my husband and I are obsessed with anything French, Swedish or Belgium.  We had so much fun building and designing this home.  Notice the lumpy, uneven pillows... yes... that was my husband who made the bed right before the shoot; I happened to be out of town at the time.  You got to love the husbands who try so hard :)

Here are some pics Ashlee did for a Bridal shoot... Isn't the Bride beautiful!!!  I love the vintage dress!

Ashlee you're amazing!!!!
