Rustic White

Rustic white interiors, breezy, relaxed and inviting; combining brocante finds with a contemporary pared-down look. Soft rustic textures with pretty faded florals, washed vintage linens and crisp white cottons. Wood adds warmth, be it natural or painted and rural industrial elements contrast perfectly with the softness of cottage fabrics. The finished look is fresh, practical and very, very comfortable.

  14. Oh, Glenda, when you put words like "Rustic" and "White" in the title, I'm here in a flash! How i love these photos! As always, you do your homework, and search out images that none of us have seen before, as well as introduce us to the beauty of new websites.
    Thank you for all you do!
    Hugs,
