Less Junk > More Calm
I’ve been finding myself more and more drawn to a
calm and cleared
aesthetic…
Not sterile or overly modern
Still warm and inviting but
much more crisp
I love a vibe that translates to a funky mix of vintage, modern,
farm and prairie-style.
Some inspiration that I just love can be found here
via Pleated Poppy
with images like this:

c’mon – look at this kitchen:
and the little touches here:
Do you love as much as I do?
------------------------------
The problem I have here at the northern cottage is that we
DON’T
have a white background
no white cabinets
no white trim
no white flooring
and we WON’T have that white backdrop
in this house – anyway!
So that means that I’m trying to interject bursts of
white and/or cream
where I can
to lighten the mood
I still adore my bits of junk
(old wooden crates, locker baskets, etc.)
I’m evolving from rust to a more modern vibe.
This makes me want to …
go shopping!
uh oh!

OMGoodness...I am exactly where you are at! We are currently renting (possibly may purchase) a 100+ year old home and I, too, want white! I have moved toward "intentional decorating", only having things around us that mean something. But I love simple...love clean...love the rustic, modern farmhouse look.
We'll both get there someday!
Love your blog!

I LOVE the look of white on white on white. One day I hope to decorate like that. Of course, that will have to wait until after these three little boys are no longer running wild through my house.
Can't go wrong with simple white.
oh that kitchen! i love the open floor plan...hmmm is it ok to open up a farmhouse that is all closed up with rooms?! i can dream right?
thanks so much for the feature - very flattering!
Hi! I just hopped over here from pinterest... Just looking for free, fun ideas to give Hubby for our 7th wedding anniversary next weekend, given that we have no money to actually spend on it - HA! :) Anyway, I LOVE your description of your style. I'm slightly less "modern" but all the rest TOTALLY applies! Love that white. :) Keep on!
