Comments (21)Love the pictures of your daughter's cottage. I especially like white slipcovers with floral pillows. She's made it modern and sophisticated. The exterior shot of the 341 Westgate house is gorgeous. Talk about curb appeal, wow that's nice landscaping. I don't recognize the inside of this house at all. White Carrera marble (I hope I'm getting that name right) looks so good with the shabby chic style. The only thing I'm not loving is the orange and brown rug in the living room, seems out of place to me. I love the house but 4 mill? yikes. On Oprah's website they say Rachel recently moved from a 4000 sq ft house to a 1700 sq ft beach house. I take it the Brentwood house up for sale is the 4000 sq ft house? This beach house is pretty too. I see Rachel has retained her petite figure! I think I'm getting all her houses mixed up. What happened to the Malibu house that was in her books and dvds? Real Estalker shows a different Malibu house than the one I'm familiar with. Did she sell the original Malibu house years ago, the one with the pool and rustic dark wood walls she painted white? Allison, are you saying that Rachel has moved into the $20,000 a month rental now? Is that "the beach house" they're referring to? Looks like Rachel is leaving a trail of white houses behind her, lol....See MoreWhat was the inspiration for Shabby Chic?
Comments (33)LOL I thought you'd kick out of that. I only looked at the thumbnails. Our two year old grandson was here today. I'll have to go look at them. One of my hubby's sister's hubby lives out in the boondocks of central Iowa, nothing wrong with Iowa. It's my Home Sweet Home state, and he has a garage/outbuilding that's his man cave, though I can't see him calling it that. It's unfinished on the inside so it's more garage and storage for his muscle car, but does have tables with his stuff on them. Nothing fancy, not messy either. Just a place to get away from the house when the guys are over to watch Nascar or football. Just a country boy at heart. The best thing that happened to my SIL. Now I'm going to take a few minutes to check out the man caves. LOL...See MoreShabby chic and dark walls...can it be done (well)?
Comments (8)Awwww. Sorry, I hadn't gotten any emails saying I had responses to this thread, so I didn't know so many people replied. I KNOW I checked the box, but it happens often with me for some reason. Allison, thank you so much for that link. I love, love, love roughlinen.com and it gave me some good inspiration. I am really looking forward to working on this room. (BTW...I remember you, of course, from our anxiety-filled kitchen redo days in '04-'05. Your kitchen is one of my faves. I just finished my second kitchen since then. This time it was a new home. Me and kitchens...It's still a love-hate relationship) ;) Natesgram, you'll have to give me until at least next weekend for pictures, since I won't be home until then. I need to correct myself. I shouldn't say I'm almost finished with the headboard. Really, to be more clear, I'm almost finished GATHERING the pieces I want. I've made a few driftwood-esque and aged pieces on my own that came out pretty good, but I'm aiming to make most of it from natural things we find. It sure does take a long time for driftwood to wash up. Could y'all start throwing pieces of wood into the Atlantic when the tide is right to have it wash up on our property, please? ;) I will post updates as I go along, but it's definitely a sloow moving project...See MoreEmpty dining room in historic home needs help!
Comments (51)I took a look on Wayfair Closeout rugs and if you spend a little more you can score a much better rug.. These are all available in 9x12 and IMHO would work beautifully. Also keep in mind that a rug under a dining table takes abuse with the crumbs and chairs so it's better to consider something better in quality. I know the first one is dark, but with a black clock on the wall and the industrial barcart, it would look very smart. My personal favorite is the 4th one. The last one looks as though it may look better in a traditional home if you want colorful and classic. All good. https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/the-conestoga-trading-co-hand-tufted-blue-area-rug-cntc4236.html?piid=16370097 https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/wrought-studio-kari-deco-browngray-area-rug-wrsd1454.html?piid=30918717 https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/wrought-studio-kari-deco-bluegray-area-rug-wrsd1453.html https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/red-barrel-studio-hogan-hand-tufted-wool-graygreen-area-rug-rbrs7553.html?piid=22588486 ^ ^ ^ ^ This one is a very good deal https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/meridian-rugmakers-san-juan-hand-tufted-light-blue-area-rug-mrdn2018.html...See MoreLeeanne Marsocci
