Dream Loft

For those of you who missed the "Brinson's loft" earlier in the year, here is some rustic, industrial loft inspiration for you! I had these photos tucked away in my archive and just HAD to pull them out and share.

Rob Brinson is an Atlanta based photographer who bought this artist loft studio in the King Plow Art Center 23 years ago. The building used to be a plow factory in the 1800's and it WREAKS of history and character. Rob and his wife, Jill Sharp Brinson, used to live in the space for about 6 years, however, they now use it as a crash-pad for friends and family. Jill is a stylist, designer, and creative director for Ballard Designs.

Inspiring people with an even more inspiring space! Enjoy!















Have a great day y'all!

Gorgeous rustic retreat in upstate NY

The setting is perfect for this simple home in the northern foothills of the Catskill Mountains.
"The Smithy" is nestled just off of a county road, near a little bridge that crosses the rushing Panther creek in the small community of West Fulton.

Properly named, this home originated as a blacksmith shop in the 1800's. It has seen many a transformation over the years, including the addition of two gas pumps and an orange "Gulf" sign painted on the side of the building in the 1950's. The latest transformation by Jesse James, the founder and creative director of Aesthetic Movement, is a sight to behold. He has slowly remodeled the home since 1999 and has done an unbelievable job of balancing history and charm with modern day upgrades and inspiring design. He now has "The Smithy" on the market for $210,000 which I'm sure he will have no trouble selling to a stylish NY family who needs a relaxing retreat upstate.

Have a blessed week!

ahhh LOFT!

WHITE WALLS, EXPOSED WOOD BEAMS, INDUSTRIAL FIXTURES, MODERN FURNITURE, RUSTIC TABLE, WIDE PLANK WHITE WOOD FLOORS, AND PLENTY OF NATURAL LIGHT. NOT SURE THERE IS MUCH WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE.

THE LOFTED BEDROOM OVER THE KITCHEN WITH THE LIBRARY LADDER ENTRY IS SUCH A COOL USE OF SPACE.

THE PERFECT BALANCE OF MODERN, INDUSTRIAL, AND RUSTIC = ME LIKES.



LOVE Y'ALL!
