Architecture is one of my primary passions. It’s even embarrassing to say I studied Architecture for a year and a half to then drop out in an action I can only call a young age crisis. That is one big regret of mine. Anyhow, back to my topic today. From my point of view an interior decor not architecturally enhanced is not good. And when I think of places with strong architecture, not only palaces come to mind but also something completely opposite but also impressive. A barn for example, originally made from lumber, gambrel roof to maximize storage, exposed wood and beams to support the ceiling. When visiting Suzanne Kasler’s website the other day I was astonished, one more time, by the incredibly beautiful work she did decorating The Barn, a restaurant located in Blackberry Farm, a resort located in the Mountains of Tennessee. I absolutely love Suzanne Kasler’s design, she seems to always work in houses with breathtaking architecture. Judge by yourself, enjoy.
I adore the color scheme of the space. Tanned leather, beige, browns and subtle pink?
The rusticity of the wood is softened up by the upholstery and slip-covered furniture.

Architectural details make a space, for sure. Beautiful pictures.
You seem to be forging your life in a creative way now, but maybe you'll revisit your pursuit of architecture another day if the time is right!

Wow that is lovely. I can just imagine having an elegant meal and looking up at those rustic, beautiful wood beams!

This is fantastic ~ I can almost feel the atmosphere of cosiness from looking at these images. Wonderful details which create such a timeless space, and those exposed timber ceilings ~ oh wow!
