Happy Wednesday!! How are you doing today?? Are you going to make thru this week? How about a dose of fun color from the home of a dear friend of mine?
A couple of months ago I went to visit Sam and Elizabeth in their newly renovated Cincinnati, Ohio home. I was awe struck not only at how much they did to revive this forclosure but also how the couple drew on their talents to pull together a showcase style on a shoestring. Sam is an environmental engineer with a knack for remodeling and electrical. Combine that with the creative spirit of Elizabeth (a graphic designer and fine artist) and you get not only cool eco- function but warm, whimsical and well edited spaces from an artist's eye. This creative duo (who met on eharmony) definitely found their soul mates in each other and in the their beautiful home - the product of a perfect match!
ps. notice the aqua blue tile behind the orange chair left from a former 1950s bathroom turned cozy reading corner on the top of the landing. clever!

What a sweet style. I love the colors and the the comfy feel. Well done, very inspiring, thanks. Congratulations to your friends. This story also gives a bit of eharmony hope. Hehe.

that is so neat about the left behind tile from the pre existing bathroom. it makes me want to tile a room that isn't traditional supposed to be tiled. so charming. i want to visit!
