Rescue and Revival

One thing I have always been obsessed with is reclaimed wood! 
My dream would be to build a home with reclaimed wood timbers and flooring throughout, creating an authentic vintage look.
Here are some beautiful pictures of rooms exemplifying a natural, light and relaxed timeless look:

I love the imagination and courage it takes to renovate these beautiful Provencal homes.  This particular home contained some beautiful well kept secrets.  While renovating they notice that the previous owner who had built the home in 1850 was a man of some means.  Wonderfully distressed beams, grand fireplaces and intricate stone work was revealed.

These soft and simple rooms have so much character with their beautiful terra cotta flooring and exposed stone walls.  Notice the beautiful light fixtures that pop next to the vintage elements!

This home is called Aramis, it was built as a hunting-lodge in Perigord, south-west France.  I love this home so much that I designed my own home after it, staining my doors soft gray/blues with diamond pediments.

I love how the designers respected the original material and finishes of these rooms.  They created a charming look combining both past and present... my favorite look!

Have a wonderful weekend!
