Hello Kim's sweet friends!!! I'm Robin and my blog is All Things Heart and Home.
I'm so happy to be hanging out with you today! Like you, I love Kim's eye for design, her beautiful home never ceases to inspire me, so when she asked me share my favorite room I was thrilled!
Come on in and check it out!
The den is what sold me on this house 2 years ago...ya see, we were looking for a space that would give us enough room for our family get togethers. This den, which is really open to the rest of the living area - has high ceilings and lots of room for our peeps!
But even with the high ceilings, I feel cozy here in the winter months all snuggled on the couch by the fire...
And during the day, light pours into this room, making it near impossible to be glum when you're in here!
I'm in here an awful lot...I could work in several rooms in the house but I find myself drawn to this space. Maybe it's because from my chair, I can see the bird feeder just outside one of the windows ...it's always full of birdseed and there are always little birds flitting and perching and singing for their supper!
We've done lots of renovations in this old house in the past 2 years, in the den we've simply added some of our DIY projects like
the rustic tables on each side of the fireplace made from 250 year old beams...I so love the color and the texture of old beams and they work well in the den because I think the tall stone fireplace begs for a few other rustic elements.
We also added this Ellen-Knock-Off Tree Stump Table... made from a Birch Tree that we were forced to cut down ...I was so sad about that tree but it makes me smile every time I look at this little eclectic table...

And since the den & the eat-in kitchen are pretty much one room...
The space for family, the light, the birdsong, the sound of the waterfall...maybe that's why I love this room the best!
I'd love for you to visit me at All Things Heart and Home-come over and introduce yourself!

DeleteI love that fireplace framed by those gorgeous windows. I'm so glad Robin chose not to clutter the windows with drapes. Those "open" windows along with the high ceilings really give the room an spacious, airy look. Beautiful space!
ReplyDeleteOh Mimi thank you for saying that about the curtains! I love the openness but soooo often I second guess my choice to forgo curtains! I really appreciate you weighing in on that :) Have a wonderful weekend xo
DeleteRobin your Den is so warm and inviting. I love the little shutters on the mantle, those beam tables, the stump table and is that a farm table with benches I see peeking through in the kitchen? Thanks so much Kim for sharing Robin and All Things Heart and Home with us today!

Marie, I am so happy to meet someone with such a gift of encouragement...thank you my new friend xo
DeleteIt can be hard to make such a large room with soaring ceilings warm and inviting, but Robin has done that. Love how light-filled and open everything is. Those benches/tables that they made to go beside the fireplace are a great addition. And the stump table is so unique! Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your Friday Features.
ReplyDeleteJane, thank you my friend for your kind - encouraging words...sending love xo
DeleteThe beamed table is GORGEOUS!!! What a beautiful room filled with light.
