Plucked From the English Countryside

March 28, 2017 · In: Art, Bathroom, Design, Interior Design, Travel


We finally moved from the tearing down of wallpaper to the actual demolition of the bathroom.  It just took us FOREVER (or two months if you prefer the less dramatic reality) to decide what we wanted.  We talked about Art Deco, we talked about bathroom art, we even chatted bathroom personalities as if tempting fate would somehow bring us to a new bathroom idea but we finally settled on “Plucked from the English Countryside“as our winner.

While I realize that gray + marble + glam is THE bathroom to have at the moment (and it’s GORGEOUS!!) I couldn’t stop thinking of Europe and the countryside… and how lucky we suddenly felt to have a grey stucco house that needs more stone and more country.

OF course there is always a moment of mild panic for me any time I design a new space that it won’t turn out or that it will disappoint or that I should have gone a different direction…

But one look at Marta Marie Forsberg’s instagram account, which is literally plucked from the English Countryside… and now I know.  It’s going to be like a little slice of heaven.  And I can’t wait!

Doesn’t Marie make you want to book a flight directly to England and then take a slow and leisurely drive out to the middle of no where?  I’m reminded of our trip to the English countryside many years ago.  When I die, I hope this is what heaven looks like!

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
