Current Project: Healdsburg Farmhouse

I recently met a lovely couple who just purchased an incredible home in Healdsburg, CA. We immediately hit it off after discovering our shared enthusiasm for the romance and tranquility of wine country along with our desire to turn a classic farmhouse into the ultimate vineyard retreat!
Hello, dream project, nice to meet you!

--actual house -TDF (to die for!)--

We have been working on the schematic design over the past few weeks, sharing inspirational images and design ideas for each of the unique spaces. The homeowners are hoping to create a casually elegant retreat that connects the interiors with the gorgeous surrounding landscape. Our plan is to maintain the farmhouse simplicity and classic white interior details, adding life to the scheme with romantic florals and colorful patterns. We'll soften the look with inviting furnishings and rich textures to add depth and comfort.

 The project is just getting underway, but I wanted to share some of the idea boards that we've put together so far. Feel free to comment and share your ideas.

I will be sure to post more images as our plans begin to take shape.

Trend Alert: Chicken Wire Decor

Utilitarian chicken wire has become decorative. We're seeing this popular trend take shape in the form of kitchen cabinets, picture frames, garden baskets, accent tables, cloches, and even pillows!
We dare you to add a bit of this unique texture to your decor, --don't chicken out!

Inspiration Board: Cottage Kitchen

I had so much fun putting together this Cottage Kitchen with a bit of French Bistro flair. I love the mix of classic red and white together with natural finishes. The vintage-inspired accessories add personality to the composition.
 What a fun and family-friendly kitchen this would be!

Fun, Alternative Chandelier

These awesome orbs will soon grace the stores with their presence. This little DIY chandelier alternative received tons of praise in our Old Lumber showroom, and we can't wait to share the idea with all of you at Harvest. The crafty fixture is made from recycled wine barrel straps, bolted together to form a sphere and wrapped in twinkling lights to create a one-of-a-kind chandelier!
These pieces will be available for sale through Harvest while we have them in stock. They would make a charming accent above your outdoor dining area this summer!
