white porcelain hardware

Hardware is often considered the jewelry of furniture or finish cabinetry. Its a small detail that can make all the difference and one that can also cost a lot. One of my favorite types of hardware is white porcelain. A throwback look that can really pop against a beautiful wood grain or darkly painted door. And as a bonus - its usually less expensive than other metals. Check out the examples below.

colonial fireplaces

For me, January is all about keeping cozy. Enjoying the cold rather than fighting it. Appreciating the darkness by lighting candles. Allowing myself to move at a slower pace. I find that this frame of mind is best embraced when beside a fireplace. I am a big fan of fireplaces - all types - but check out these amazing colonial ones that I am currently obsessing over.
