MOVE RIGHT IN | BROADVIEW LOFT

Can we all just stop and gaze at this sculpture above the dining table for a moment?

Go ahead, I'll wait.

I'm feeling particularly lusty over this Broadview Lofts residence, designed by Croma Design. If you've been around here long enough, you know I go a little nuts for clean spaces that have touches of warmth via wood or cozy fabrics.

MOVE RIGHT IN | MOD REDUX

I am loving, no - obsessed, with the combination of warm wood and modern elements for interiors lately. Nailing down "your style" is always tricky for me. With an interior design education, I can "appreciate" many different looks and styles. But what is "me" or rather, what is "us" and what do we want for our home?

This. This is it.

Comfy seating for curling up and reading a book or watching a movie? Check.

Plush floors to keep my perpetually cold toes cozy? Check.

One open space to allow for entertaining or cooking while the other is in the living room? Check.

I'm dubbing this "modern warmth."

And these stairs are B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

FAVORITE SPACE 04.06.12 + FRIDAY LINKS

       

Couldn't you just sit at this dinner table with your guests for hours? Round to enhance conversation, comfortable chairs to encourage lingering, and a modern warmth that has a timeless appeal? If you like this room, check out the rest of "The Warm Side of Modern" in the April issue of House Beautiful. Design Within Reach CEO John Edelman and his wife Bonnie have the ultimate resource at their fingertips with DWR, and their home is quite the showcase of everything wonderful about iconic furniture pieces. If there ever was a home where yours truly would move right in, this is it.

Happy Weekend! It's Friday and I'm looking forward to some time outside - it's been rainy the last two weekends in San Francisco, but sun is in the forecast and the farmer's market at the Ferry Building is on my agenda!

Speaking of the Ferry Building, Mariposa Baking Company just opened their permanent stall there with even more gluten free goodness than before.

This Tumblr had me laughing out loud like a crazy person.

While this Tumblr had me pinning every image for travel style inspiration. Could she be any more beautiful?

Blog Brunch is this weekend - right from your home desk! I think I'll make some gluten free pancakes and join in for the first time, thanks Kate for introducing me to it.

These new prints from Jess LC are sure to keep you motivated. Which one would you choose? I'm leaning towards this one.

Enjoy your weekend! What are your plans?
