I Love Tuscan Style ~

I want to apologize for the lack of posts in the recent weeks, we have been dealing with one bug after another, after another at our house - but hopefully we are on the mend!

I was cruising through Houzz (love that site) and found a handful of lovely Tuscan images from JMA - from their photos, it looks like they build a mean home. Here are a few images for your enjoyment!

Eye Candy ~

A little eye candy for you today compliments of House Beautiful.

 There was a little something about all of these spaces that I really love - weather it be the colors, arches, textures...enjoy!

Beam Me Up ~

I keep ripping out ideas and saving them in a box our dream house file. Here are a few images with exposed beams that make me want to build...
