Everything in the home either has a purpose or provides some kind of inspiration. They are intentional about their selections and how the furniture/accessories are used throughout each space. Everything has the perfect placement. ...

  Ok this isn't actually an "interior" project at all, but I wanted to share a little about my design process for our recent patio extension. We have been dreaming up this patio extension since we moved into this house. This house is absolutely perfect for us and there are no changes to be made to the interior.
