Organic, natural and rustic or refined, polished and sleek~ there's something about wood that instantly warms up a space. Wood floors, exposed beams, hand made furniture and objects, these all add instant coziness and heart to any home.

I have a fun little guest post up at My First Little Place, where I
have been asked about my favorite chair...I hope to see you there!
I love warm wood tones with white - it makes the wood look almost sculptural, like art. I especially love the last photo of the bedroom with the dutch door.

it makes me think the rooms smell fabulously like wood :)
ReplyDeleteI really love wooden tables and the first one is so pretty:) Have a great day
ReplyDeleteI don't know that wood was ever out of vogue per se, but I'm glad to see it being recognized again for what it offers.
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to get past that huge python photograph in the first image, though -eeeek!
I love a little wood mixed in with everything. Definitely warms things up - something I could use a lot of this time of year. Have you stepped outside the morning? Brrrrrrrrrrrr...xoxo e
ReplyDeleteso warm, cosy, and perfect really!
ReplyDeleteSince painted furniture is so popular, I love seeing wood, it really warms a space.
ReplyDeleteVery hard to pick a favourite here! Wood is the natural (pardon the pun) choice for decoration. It is so versatile!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to imagine a beautiful interior without a variety of wonderful wood tones and this round is no exception!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Acanthus and Acorn! Especially loving that 4th image with the stained striped floor - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love mixing wood serving bowls with white ceramic...I also have bamboo silverware that my grandmother gave me- people ALWAYS ask where I got it :)

You are definitely on a "warming trend"! Love the painted stripe on the wood floor - an inspiration for my front hall, perhaps. Off to read your guest post...

It's always nice to have some unpainted, natural wood in a space. I love that sawhorse table and that striped floor is gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteI love a touch of wood to warm up a space!!! I did a post on a Natural Christmas today where wood or at least the color of wood really does warm things up in a natural way,Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI love all things natual in a home. I was copying each photo to send to my cousin who is redecorating and I realized I'll just forward her the post (duh!). She's going to love it, right up her alley.
ReplyDeletethe textures, the tones, the patterns, wood really is classic, never going "out" of style right? i think a space, every space needs the reminder of wood. of nature, of the outdoors. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm WITH you. I love exposed beams!
