Design Block

The last few days I have felt uninspired.

A bad case of design block, one might call it.

Feeling this way and not knowing why drives me absolutely bonkers.

My uninspired mood put a damper on our weekend.

Until today, that is.

Rob had a brilliant idea.  Let's go somewhere you've haven't been before.

Genius.  That boy knows how to make a girl smile.

For the most part, I've hit up every possible antique store in our city.

Or at least I'd like to think so.

How could have I missed these places?

Industrial. Modern. Primitive. Craftsman.

You name it, they got it.

Their use of reclaimed vintage materials is super inventive.

Doors upon doors...

Too many mantels to count...

 Antique bed frames too gorgeous for words!

Ahhh...feeling refreshed, friends!

We were able to snatch up a few things for the cottage!

The mailbox is now hanging in our laundry room!

A great place to throw our keys or misplaced mail.

Where the foyer and the family room meet...

Where the foyer and dining room meet...

Love how the header is working with the corbels!

The sun was pouring in this afternoon.

So I snapped a better picture of our window treatments.

It didn't take me long to get out of my funk.

JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING

ISN'T HAPPENING FOR YOU

 RIGHT NOW, DOESN'T MEAN

THAT IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
