A beautiful and romantic loft in white

I had gotten off white for a while, but this gorgeous NYC loft reminds me why interiors in white will always be a favorite.

The bookcase is the first thing you see when walking in to the loft. It's 12 ft. long and constructed of solid reclaimed wood.

Adore that large table.

What great windows! I'm so jealous!

dreamy. That rug must feel so good under foot when you wake up int the morning.

Could you live here?

A practical blackboard with a holder for an eraser and chalk is also included, for adding quick notes or reminders. This designer piece also has a charming combination of white painted wood and natural tones, providing your rooms with a fresh, elegant feel.

A hint of sea-side charm and a little Scandinavian elegance combine to create the Marina Collection.

A bright and airy home filled with reclaimed beauties

This home is gorgeous on it's own - but discovering that it's filled with reclaimed furnishings and architectural elements makes it even prettier.

Love the table with the mid-century chairs. 

Such a pretty workspace!

I'd love to have a sliding door like this one day

can't go wrong with a crisp, clean white bathroom
