cabin deck

via Design Mom
Our family cabin is way up high in the mountains, about 8,000 feet above sea level, I believe. Outside of the cabin there is a nice large wood deck. It is great to have. Unfortunately due to the large amount of snow fall in the mountains the deck takes a lot of upkeep. Often in the spring part of it will have collapsed from the weight of the snow. When I saw this min-century modern outdoor space I was inspired. Sure a wood deck is nice but a concrete outdoor area would require less upkeep. I will have to throw the idea at my Dad. Maybe we can incorporate it into our eventual rebuild designs.

This bed ensemble is amazing, it takes someone with a trained eye to put these together and make them work.

My little sister's friend is getting engaged. Last week we were browsing the internet for engagement ring styles and came across this beauty. Gorgeous, don't you think?

lovely white

I am always intrigued by those who can make white feel chic rather than plain and stark. I need some of their brilliance.

I love the glass light fixtures, simple and gorgeous.

cabins on my mind

I have cabins on the mind this week, sorry. I have almost convinced my Mom (I still have a long ways to go with my Dad) to get new bedding for our cabin. I love the way Stephmodo decorated the rooms of her France house, I want to use this picture in my cabin inspiration book.

My family wants to rebuild our cabin eventually so from time to time I like to imagine the different things we could do. One thing we must do is to have a big window wall like this one. Amazing.

The other thing I would like to do is to have one room with bunk beds everywhere for all my nieces and nephew(s). Add guard rails to these bunks and you have perfection.

Brighton "winter's front yard"

I have been working on a new blog. We are renting our family cabin in Brighton, Utah so we wanted a nice website/blog to advertise it. I am quite proud of the end product and excited that I learned a few blogging tricks along the way!

Putting together the site has made me homesick though, I love Brighton and the mountains and the cabin. I can't wait to go back in December!
