IN THE DETAILS: MUSIC + BRICK + MIRRORS

There's nothing like some unexpected surprise details in a home to make things feel just a little more special... but this first space is over the top in fabulousness...

On top of the gorgeous overall contrast of salvage + modern, the piano tucked under the stairs is what did me in the most. Can you imagine music magically drifting through the space?

One of my other favorite surprises is when ceilings are given a little extra attention - in this case beautifully rounded exposed brick with a glamorous chandelier makes for a stunning rustic meets traditional look.

And, finally, a perfect example of practical meets pretty with this collection of antique gilded mirrrors as an accent to the full wall mirror. A fun way to create a little playful moment in an otherwise simple space.

    Stunning space! Amazing not-so-little details! It feels very glamourous, but not fussy at the same time. Those wooden posts/beams are just stunning!

    Those first two rooms are really cool, I love the exposed beams & wood pillars. The frames in the last pic save that room, it makes an ugly bathroom prettier!

    I'd die for that kitchen. It's the perfect kitchen for foodies who love to entertain with ample counter space and a glamorous chandelier!

    it's a beautiful house... all details are exposed perfectly. I'm surprised by those huge wooden beams. I thought they are reserved only for old village houses, but there looks perfectly.
