Mixing modern with traditional the right way

I love following "Design Sponge" the blog. This morning she featured a sneak peek that is one of my favorites so far. I wanted to share the link with you all. This home is the right way to mix modern with traditional furnishings. I adore how there are so many stories tied into their decor. Enjoy!

Industrial is the look


The Scouts have been busy travelers this winter; hitting two markets, one east coast and one west coast, bringing the latest trends in home interiors to the Midwest. Industrial Chic is still hot and the Scouts have got it! Check out our vintage factory cart. At one point we converted it into a clever dining table for 8 by adding supports and a thick piece of glass to it. This unique piece was also featured at our 2008 Homearama home as an oversized cocktail table. New Scout purchases also include industrial inspired lighting and new furniture pieces constructed of repurposed wood.
