Anisa and I have so much fun talking about how we can mix styles we love. I find that I am always drawn to interiors that have a bit of mod in them–it just keeps them fresh & unexpected.
One of the easiest way to mix a touch of mod is to add a chair in a traditional or rustic space…
Or another easy way is to add a bit of mod lighting:
in our home
Anisa added a mod lamp to this traditional vignette for HGTV’s Design Wars
I love the mod dresser & lamp in Lauren Liess‘ bedroom
I added this table lamp on our old ’70s dresser in the boys’ room (Chris’ childhood dresser–not allowed to touch this one. Boys can be so sentimental!)
mod lamp via House & Home
Here she pairs a mod lantern with her country breakfast room. (by the way–Anisa’s entire home will be shot for Woman’s Day later this month. So excited for her!!!)
What about the design of St. Bartholomew’s Church?
Why shouldn’t churches be amazing, too? We have to remember…..

I also love mixing in a little mod! Especially with chairs and bookshelves. And that church image is amazing!
I am obsessed with that print! Do you know the source? Lighting is so important. These are awesome examples!
no, I should but don’t. I just googled it. Can’t wait to see your bedroom!
I was just thinking about this in the bedroom you showed the other day–with the floral chintz curtains and the panton chair. Loved how it made it so fresh and unexpected!
that Panton chair and those floral panels have brought me much happiness.
I dont think id ever miss a Sunday service.
Go Anisa! Cannot wait for your sis to photograph my house when I get back.

I just love your blog! I have been a fan for awhile now..those are georgeous pictures! We are remodeling our kitchen and I keep looking at yours to see how you style your shelves
Thanks so much for the awesome inspiration! Brooke
Had to giggle at the “boys can be so sentimental”
My husband is the same way! He got upset when I painted over the formica top to a little desk that had been his. It looked awful with burn marks and scratches galore, too much to cover up with anything less than a tablecloth, but he was greatly offended that I’d dare cover the evidence of science experiments gone awry. hahahaha
