Country Contemporary?

Is there such a thing as country contemporary? As I've been scouting out household items, without any intention of doing so, I've chosen all items that I would call 'country'. I love to pair these things with contemporary items and it creates this funny little design style that I love. For example, I came across this amazing headboard on this blog. It's a fabulous blog with lots of fabulous and unique ideas.

I absolutely love this headboard! So this is my new inspiration for our guest bedroom, minus 'love'. I even think it would be amazing if it were painted or had some amazing embellishment around the edge like gold, silver or painted a color of your choice studs. It would also be fabulous to paint a bible verse or quote across the top....so many options! 

I think this headboard will look fantastic paired with this amazing quilt that my Aunt Ninette made for David and I. She and my grandmother gave it to me at our Oklahoma City wedding shower. I love it. I went with my grandmother to pick out the fabric and let's just say, it is super hard to pick out fabric for a quilt. There are so many options and if you are unsure of what you want it to look like, well you better block off a good 2-3 hours. Here it is and it's so perfect!

I found the chrysanthemum fabric that is around the edge and that's what guided me in making my fabric choices. It's hard to tell with some but they are all shades of pink, green, brown and hints of gold. AND while we are on the topic of the guest bedroom I think this chair would be so great in there!

This is the kind of contemporary that I'm talking about! It's so gorgeous and I am in love with the color. This is the logan armless chair in green apple from World Market. They also have it in berry and they used to have it in this white and green apple floral print.

Here are some other wonderful items that I would like that have inspired a room in our house....

Now you might be saying, "What in the world are those!" I personally think they are great, they are long horn wall vases! Filled with the perfect arrangement of flowers and feathers and sticks and you have an amazing conversation piece! I want to split them up though, I think one in the guest bathroom and the other in the study. They are pretty pricey though, $99 for the pair! I'll just add it to my ongoing wish-list.

Another wonderful find for our study to go along with one long horn vase and the desk my hubs will make is this amazing stag horn round mirror from Target. I wasn't able to copy a picture or the link but will post pictures eventually if I still love it enough for purchase in a couple of months. I've also decided to blow up prints of Tuff and Gus' faces (our dogs) and frame them in something like this:

Mine will be much larger, square and the colors will be different. These would also be neat, but on much larger scale and hanging on the wall.

 

You can find these frames on Burley Girl Designs on etsy. Love etsy! 

Last but not least, here is a sneak peak of our console table refinishing project that I previously mentioned in another post. It's coming along. If my husband were in town it would have been finished. I'll have to wait about another week for him to get home, I'm anxious for it to be in our house!!!

 We have to touch up a few places, put a semi-gloss clear coat on and order the fabulous anthropology knobs!!! Ahh, can't wait! Anyway, I need to wrap this post up because as I'm sitting here, the vibration of music through my walls is driving me nuts! We have some obnoxious neighbors caddie corner from us that like to blast techno music as they wash their cars. I'm just hearing the bumping of the bass in my walls which is more annoying than the actual music, our study is closest to them. I thought it was the teenagers at first because they have crazy break dancing dance offs in their garage on the weekends, but no, it's a family affair today. Time to shut this door and move to the opposite side of the house.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my inspirations for a room! Have a wonderful week and enjoy this amazing weather we are experiencing! Praise Jesus for sunshine this week!!! I promise my next post won't be design related :)
