A historic country home done up in a modern way

I'm writing you guys from Chicago today, where I'm visiting a friend before heading over to Spain to visit my boyfriend for a month. I saw this house in Elle Decor and thought it was really nice - and worth a share. What do you think?

Looovvee those weathered leathered chairs, the oversize ottoman/coffee table, and the hydrangea arrangement.




I would never think to paint my bedroom such a dark brown, but it's actually looks quite relaxing.

OKA Home Design

I can't remember when or where I discovered OKA, but their website is chock full of pretty pictures in soft gray woods and neutral textiles. They have many stores in the UK and a catalog, but have any of you actually seen their products "in the flesh?" I'd love to know OKA's reputation, quality, and if it's priced reasonably for what you're getting.


I love this quilt, the pattern is beautiful

Definitely has a "shabby chic" feel to it




white floors!

Love the large ottoman
