fresh


Looks simple. But it's not.
Combining old/vintage and new/fresh. It's what I try hardest to do - I love the look. But sometimes it just escapes me.

I thought this fresh, over-dyed rug was perfect with the gray antique piece. So simple.
Have you had any luck with mixing old and new in your home?

It's what I try to do too. Old and new. Too much old can be too heavy and too much new looks like a model home. Love the photo. You're right, the rug looks fabulous.

I want that cupboard..where did I just see that I love it!

Our whole house is a mix of old and new and it works but it's something I think that just happens, you can't force it.

I love this look... If I could recreate exactly in my kitchen (still under reno), I would do so in a heartbeat. I agree that it is a challenge to combine old and new but, like other things, practice, practice, practice... it is more art than science.
Thanks for sharing, j
