Rustic Chic Interiors

       
The rustic-modern trend is one that I hope sticks around forever! It's such a welcome change from "Tuscan rustic" -- where everything matches and tries too hard to conjure a certain time period or look.

Magazines inspire me to look for ways to incorporate rustic elements into my home in elegant and sophisticated ways. The trick is to not go overboard. Sometimes all it takes is one bench with natural aged wood, contemporary chairs, and lots of white. Chic !!
