The pair of this design is just as comfortable as a modern country house – Wired PR Lifestyle Story

Tell us about your house.

Our house is a Cape Cod style house in Indian Codolis, Indiana. When we bought the house we planned to remodel it quite a bit. But now we’ve shaped almost every square inch in one way or another in the last three years.

Favorite place in the house:

I love our kitchen because we spend most of our family time there.

I see why! When you’re not in the kitchen, what’s your favorite way to spend time at home?

Wood fireplace is my favorite! I like to be on the couch with a hot drink when I hear Billie Holiday.

It’s your house epitoni the beach atmosphere coincides with a comfortable hut. What was the inspiration for your design?

I wanted the house to feel true to its cottage style. My goal was to keep the house quiet with neutral and organic elements, along with plenty of texture to get warmth.

How Indiana played Enter inspiration for your design?

It’s funny because most people who see our house online think it’s on the West Coast. I gravitate towards the neutrals because the sky is very overcast in Indiana during the winter months, and I want to keep the house as bright and light as possible.

What he does winssometime look at your house?

There is always a wood fire entering the living room, soup in the kitchen, the smell of candles on fire and jazz music playing in the background.

What was the biggest challenge in space design?

The rooms are small, so I had to work hard to choose furniture that would be comfortable and beautiful. I’ll say they were a couple of rooms that didn’t fit well at first, but now I think they’re perfect.

What is your main interior design tip?

Have a plan and stick to it. It is very important to know how you want to use the space before you buy items. I think living in your home before you tackle the overall design is much better than living it all the time.

It gives you time to get to know the house and how it works for you. Once you’ve set that up, you can make a design plan for what you need to make the space complete. (New furniture, paint colors, work done, etc.)

What are your favorite design resources?

I’m always looking for inspiration on Pinterest but I like design books and my favorite blogs I look at every week. I also love to travel. Wherever we are, Brian and I always look at the way we design and manufacture architecture and things. I like to know how to do things or try to guess, which I think makes me a better designer.

Favorite places to buy furniture and decor?

Fill the gap: A well-designed house should _______.

Feeling at home and comfortable. It’s a place that should make you smile as soon as you walk in the door. Proverbs, “There is no place like home ” it does not apply to stifling uncomfortable museum-like houses.

Describe your home in five words or less:

Vintage, modern, cozy and comfortable.
