artist feature: jorey hurley

Jorey Hurley is a San Francisco based artist I discovered through Miss Moss. An artist, illustrator and author, Hurley draws "inspiration in the beauty of everyday life" (Hurley). Her work features lively colors making it great for kid rooms but also would add a fun and whimsical element to an adult space.

Her work is available on her Etsy shop and starts at just $45 for an 8" x 10"!

home feature: union bluff

I first came across Hutker Architects when I blogged about Grey Barn Farm. Designed by Hutker, Grey Barn is a stunning working farm and home inspired by traditional Belgian farmhouses. I became re-familiarized with the firm's work - specifically the home below - when I came across this image on Pinterest.

Hutker Architects | THE PLACE HOME

Called Union Bluff, there is such simple perfection captured in the image of this home. I love the asymmetry of the windows, how the roof dormers outward, the juxtaposition of the stone wall with the white facade, the color of the roof, the minimalist trim - my list could go on. Hutker describes the Union Bluff home as "combines(ing) the best of the shingled 19th century waterfront cottage with elegant contemporary elements". 

Situated on Martha's Vineyard and built by Andrew A. Flake, Inc., this home is part restoration project and part new addition. Built between October 2012 and June 2014, this 7000 square foot home is beautifully massed to hide its large size. Modern, bright interior spaces designed by Wells and Fox combine with more intimate and smaller rooms to create a truly stunning home both outside and in.

kitchen hook rails

Open displays in the kitchen are very on trend with one form of these displays being the hook rail system. A solid bar hooked mostly commonly with S shaped hooks, these storage pieces are both functional and beautiful. They come in metal or wood and easily could be made from a bathroom towel bar. Of course, they really only look well styled when not over cluttered and hooked with visually appealing kitchen tools. Check out some nice examples below.
