I simply adore this article, mostly because I am head over heels in love with rustic chic themed interiors.. There’s just something about the sight of a shabby luxurious rug set against pale wood that just sets my heart a flutter. Elegant, classic and ornate are the three words that best summarise my house, and it’s fantastic to read an article that not only agrees with my design choices but also proves just how fabulous they are! I think I am just completely in love with the Rhode Island property – something about the combination of wood and brick just looks so inviting yet effortlessly stylish – I think I could die happy if I lived somewhere like this. ( Just as a tip for a fellow rustic design lover, I would recommend checking out Swanky Interiors for their niche pieces – I think you’d like them). Keep up the fabulous articles and even more fabulous interior designing.
