Wear and Tear

Give me a home full of wear and tear any day. Perfectly loved for and lived in.


I saw this kitchen on Zest & Thyme and it resonated with my love for all things simple, old and well-designed.

Oh I love the stack of firewood tucked away in the corner. What a perfect little detail.

Yeah...it's okay...I guess?

I mean if you like stylish stuff. But you know me, Miss Courtney...I HATE anything stylish ;)

(I'm hearting the wooden box drawers next to the stainless stove! The whole shebang is pretty luscious.)

Then you will love motherhood. Children offer distressing wear and tear at no cost. It's really quite lovely of them to offer something for free that most of us pay top dollar for.

This is a really fun + unusual space! I could have put my crew to work in there and had it fully distressed in 4 minutes flat. [hee hee]

I love how there is a lamp on the counter and a picture on the wall....makes it look like every other room.

Thank you for posting this!
I have a little guesthouse and want to put in a roustic cithchen and bath there, as my whole place here is an old cottage - I want to keep that feel.

To Sara danielle - They have that kind of sink at IKEA. A tenth of the price of most other places.

Cool blog you got here. I'll add it to my favourites! ^^,
