Light Filled Rooms with a Rustic Touch


Do you have the January blahs?
Here are some light filled rooms to brighten up your day.
Since this is when we can end up with "cabin fever," these rooms also have a slight rustic touch.


I love this potting room with its confit pot collection and wonderful natural light. The butter colored subway tile was the inspiration for my kitchen backsplash.


White walls and white slipcovers brighten this room with rustic elements.
It's all about the light!

More rustic here with the twig beds, yet still bright and cheerful.
Love the paint-by-number collection on the wall!

As light filled as can be, this room is sure to beat the January blahs!

  6. Oh what lovely pictures. I was so glad to see the white linen slipcovers on the sofa used with an oriental rug...I am sick of white and seagrass and no color. Everyone's house looks alike. These choices were perfect.

  8. Dearest Delores,

    Glad you served these 'Tira-mi-su' style images. They truly are a 'Pick-me-up'!
    Believe it or not, when we bought our property, we drove out in the afternoon, looking for a lot that that would have the sun in the right direction. All our guests and customers alike are always amazed at the abundance of light we have in our home. Well, after living three winters in the tropics right on the belt of the equator, you NEED that...

    Lovely post; thanks!

  15. Wonderful pictures! My favorite is toward the bottom; the white room with the black rustic fireplace. It's a classic look and I love how the whole look comes together with the antique dresser and the leather chair. I'm going to get some inspiration from it for my own living room. Thanks!
