Today's post is dedicated to my in-laws. This week they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary and are in the process of renovating their kitchen. By nature, they (i.e. my father-in-law) love the outdoors and the Tuscan style, so they want to incorporate this into their new space. They also have a more traditional design aesthetic. Tuscan + traditional = lots of wrought iron and wood details. I kind of picture them doing a Tuscan farmhouse theme with TONS of natural light. All pictures are from HouseBeautiful, the top right one being the most modern of the three. Check out the back splash in the first picture. What do all photos have in common? Wood beamed ceilings.

To the right are five different rugs in varying price ranges. The first two rugs both have a moroccan feel. The top one is a favorite of mine....would you believe it's actually a tile? Very similar, the rose toned one beneath it is a much cheaper version from overstock. The grey and white trellis rug can also be found at overstock, and is surprisingly affordable. The black and white ikea rug might look familiar because it is seen splashed all over design magazines and designer shows. It's another cheap find with a designer look. You might have guessed it, but the bottom orange and white rug (another favorite) is on the pricey side. Beautiful though, is it not? Check it out here.

I love the burnt stain. Im also thinking about adding some cute anthropologie knobs to update the look. Do you have any before and after pictures?

To me, Restless Oasis represents my life right now.....moving, moving, and moving. It's challenging (and yes, sometimes frustrating) with trying to make furniture work in different spaces. At the same time though, it has helped me think outside the box and to be more careful about purchases. I am still learning how to make our home beautiful with staple pieces while at the same time being careful not to buy expensive items that I know won't survive multiple moves. Believe me- coming from a girl who loves quality over quantity, it's a constant battle.

I love the simplicity of it....and it would look great with a coat of chrome or coral paint. I guess I dont have to wait until my husband gets out of the military for my chandelier. I love that this industrial inspired chandelier is an easy DIY project. Here is a tutorial on how Leah Allen created this look in her trendy Brooklyn bar.
