From the yummy subway tiles in the kitchen to the “Westerly Wind” by Glidden walls in the bedroom, I am drooling over every single square inch of this home. I love that Melissa covered a screen in Kelly Wearstler fabric for privacy in the drop dead gorgeous bathroom. You still get all of the light without all those pesky neighbors peaking in! Lastly–I really loved her tip about adding your own personality to your space:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Character comes out in layers of pattern, color and texture. Some people might go more neutral if they are a little more reserved, and others might go full-on color. Either way, to make it work, it’s important to keep a mix in mind: modern with antiques, patterns with textures, neutrals with bolder colors. There’s a magical combination of these elements that can speak to your personality. Similarly, when you walk through a space, you should see your special things: an heirloom, a piece of art, something that reminds you of a moment with your family.</span></blockquote>A moment with your family...yes! You can see more even photos of her home and read the entire article <a href="http://www.athomearkansas.com/article/contemporary-classic" target="_blank">here</a>! <br /><br /><br />Before you go though, check below to see if you were the winner of the uber-cozy <a href="http://www.pineconehill.com/" target="_blank">Pine Cone Hill </a>throw!
