FARMHOUSE DESIGN

Often overlooked, the smaller yet hardworking areas of a home are the perfect opportunity to elevate the overall design of the home. For Melissa and Brent of Cottage & Key, the Project House Austin guest bathroom and pantry provide the perfect opportunity to craft functional features while keeping a sense of cohesion with the rest of the house. The result is two spaces with a beautiful blend of timeless English cottage charm and a cozy modern vibe.

Creating a home you love sometimes means growing into the space you have. That was the case for the Blain family when they bought a 10-acre property outside Grand Rapids, Michigan. “We couldn’t pass up the opportunity on the pricing,” says homeowner Holly Blain, blogger and Instagrammer at Rustic Wild Arrow. They embarked on a new build in 2015 and have been creating their own dream spaces on the property ever since.
