A Vermont home - full of nature and autumn inspiration

This home is featured in the most recent issue of Country Living - and I really like it. It's country but not too sweet, and nature-inspired, but does it in a unique way. See below-

What initially attracted me to this story was the homeowner - Laura Zindel's amazing earthy ceramics. Perfect for Halloween! You can purchase and/or read more about her ceramics on her site.

Laura and her husband commissioned Amish craftsmen to make all the furniture in their dining room

The home has a an interesting history. The original owner supposedly turned down many potential buyers. He kept meticulous records of the home, and wanted the new owners to respect it's history. One such example is the wallpaper in the master bedroom, which was installed by the original owner's (an elderly man) mother. Laura livened up the wallpaper with sunny curtains from Anthropologie.

Still a favorite - lovely white interiors

white interiors - I still love them, I think I always will. What's unique about these is they aren't cool like most white interiors, but still warm and cozy. Mostly because warm accents are brought in by wood trim and accents.

Enjoy!

LOVE all the texture on the bed - that's how to make monochrome work

If that desk were a little bigger this office would be perfect for me!

2 very different, but beautiful houses. Which do you prefer?

Incase you haven't noticed, I've been loving Country Living Mag. lately. Don't be fooled, it's not all chintzy florals and rooster collections, they have a great grasp on what it means as a lifestyle. It can be modern, retro, or casual, and it's not your grandma's "country." Anyway, in their Feb. issues they featured two houses, both very different, and both worth sharing.
