Contemporary & Unique Home

 An eclectic couple who has just built a contemporary & unique home. Their style ranges  from edgy contemporary, mixed with a rustic twist. He began collecting and she has jumped in on the fun...Collecting from travels, art and unusual antiques. Enjoy your beautiful new home it was fun to bring it together!

 These two bright succulent and grass arrangements in concrete containers duplicated on either side of television finished this great rock fireplace.

Metal side tables grounded the chairs in front of the fireplace...and perfect size to hold a drink.

Special mementos and small art was displayed in this antique Nepal cabinet...the antique Victorian high chair seemed to fit right in with it. Along with their beautiful watercolors displayed above it and overlapping...

 This old antique chopping block added a rustic touch to the modern and open kitchen...

 Simple and bright table arrangement on metal top kitchen table...

 Love the glass cloches with a collection underneath for something different.

The dining room hutch was filled with photographs from travels, small pieces of art, and then her white China was stacked and simplified inside. Made this hutch much more interesting and multi-purpose for other uses...

 His office a collection of special mementos, family paintings, and rustic collection.

This collection of wooden cigar boxed worked in made this wall interesting and different with his grandmother's oil paintings. They were perfect to use to display old photographs and smaller pieces of art.

What little girl would not love this study room? A whole wall to chalk on and write her thoughts...This petite herringbone chair found just the right spot so she can read a good book.

This photo turned out so serene love the dripping chandelier above the tub so unique. This white linen bench was the perfect answer in this pretty bathroom. 

The music room...we think what would finish it would be of course a great music quote. This is one I found and we placed it just to see how it would look. Amanda seems to have the sources for ordering wall quotes and designing them if you are ever looking. Until next time...

Pine Niche Boxes, Santos, Amber Glass Votives...

 Our old Katmandu cabinet is filled with new and interesting items...pine niche boxes, Santos, rusty yet refined metal domes, gold and silver leaf birds, and some of the most beautiful amber glass votives we have ever seen...

Just in are a few wonderful hand carved wooden Santos...with rustic scrubbed bodies and glass eyes they are something to see indeed! Santos --meaning "Saints"-- are wood carvings that depict religious figures. During the early expansion of the Roman Catholic Church, religious icons were a valuable way of converting the poor and uneducated. Most important during the Spanish colonization of the Americas, Santos were often produced by local artists since having them made and shipped from Europe to America was too time consuming. Santos carvings are still used in small churches and for home altars all over the world. As a decor item they provide sanctuary and a sense of place.

Also love these large stuffed map pillows bound in leather and these great canvas and leather vintage-style handbags...an unusual and unique decorative item for your home. We see them hanging on a hook on a wall in a room with a beautiful bunch of sunflowers stuffed in it or just hanging on a coat rack very unique bags!
