Heart Palpitations.
I opened my digital copy of the Dec/Jan House Beautiful {I subscribe to the print copy too cause I like having a physical copy but I get the digital version cause my patience doesn’t last long enough for it to make its sweet time north to my mailbox} and IT started. That extra fast, heart pounding feeling. I used to only get that feeling right before making a presentation in University. In my Bcom program it was the worst. Without fail, right before I’d have to present a big project or business analysis or something {and always in front of a group of really really smart and fairly intimidating business people} I’d have this heart pounding, short of breath feeling. It’d pass and I’d generally nail the presentation, but that heart pounding moment was always there to kick things off.
Now days, I get that heart pouding whenever I come across a home spread that is really good. OHMYGOSHINEEDTOSHARETHIS. I clicked my way through this House Beautiful article tonight like a maniac, adreneline going crazy. Mark D. Sikes and Michael Griffin did such an incredible job of the design of this home. WOW. I can’t even begin to tell you about the background details of the home as I didn’t even stop my oggling and image saving to read the article {time for that later}.
Black and White and Natural. A little blue and white thrown in never hurt anybody. Aaaand let the drooling commence!

What a gorgeous home! I’m loving that farmhouse kitchen sink. Enjoy the beautiful day, Kellie xx
Black, white and natural (with some faux fur thrown in for winter) is the direction I’ve been headed in as of late! These pics are amazing! Love the entryway and kitchen especially!! And the best part is that now I have a stocking stuffer request for my hubby! Thanks for the heads up Karla!
