Modern Farmhouse Kitchens...

My husband and I have been house hunting lately, and each new home we encounter gets my mind spinning about how I'd transform every space. When it comes to kitchens, our preferred aesthetic (well, mine, he doesn't get much of a say), is the modern farmhouse. It's simple, clean lines are task-friendly and utilitarian, while its vintage and rustic details create an inviting and approachable appeal.
Here are some of my favorite images for inspiration...













What do you think?


Now if I could only find the perfect house to put these in! I'll keep you posted.

Glass Bird Plaques Are In Stock!

This series of three designs has been a popular accent piece for us. We just received new stock in each store, so be sure to stop by soon! In Menlo Park you'll find these darlings arranged atop a headboard in our bedroom vignette, and in Burlingame, you'll find them lined vertically down a slim column wall.
Where will they go in your home?

Leather Books...








Old, leather-bound books add so much character and history to a home. I love the time-worn edges and historical appeal of tea-stained pages. When putting together a bookcase composition, ditch the paperback summer romance novels and bright yellow "books for dummies". Instead, integrate texture-rich, leather-bound books to infuse your home with old world appeal.

At Harvest you'll find a few originals available for sale in our displays, as well as a variety of faux leather book boxes, perfect for hiding valuables, or concealing remote controls on a tabletop.
