(Some time ago I mentioned this blog </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" ><a href="http://carolinaeclectic.blogspot.com/2009/06/one-lovely-blog.html">here</a></span><span style="font-size:85%;">).</span><br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TCoCn4OYRPI/AAAAAAAAF2Y/Dcr-h7dh6-o/s1600/Picture+39.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488201980035220722" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TCoCn4OYRPI/AAAAAAAAF2Y/Dcr-h7dh6-o/s800/Picture+39.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 594px; height: 385px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TCoCabu5vgI/AAAAAAAAF2Q/ifIRi1nV9_E/s1600/Picture+40.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488201749048704514" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TCoCabu5vgI/AAAAAAAAF2Q/ifIRi1nV9_E/s800/Picture+40.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 432px; height: 653px;" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">The Brick House is all about modern design on a budget, which is an idea that is close to my heart. It frustrates me that we tend to associate modern with large expense! Don't get me wrong I love reading <a href="http://www.dwell.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dwell</span></a> or <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Architectural Digest</span></a> as much as the next person, but that isn't really practical for most of us, right? Fortunately, Morgan doesn't let a small budget hold her back and I LOVE this amazing detail on the front of the house. I have to confess that I'm including this photo in hopes that it might inspire all you modern lovers who think your house could never express your ideas. Just think a little out of the box...ha, ha!</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TCoCZ5crGQI/AAAAAAAAF2I/0Cuv92X6Kv4/s1600/Picture+41.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488201739845441794" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TCoCZ5crGQI/AAAAAAAAF2I/0Cuv92X6Kv4/s800/Picture+41.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 588px; height: 423px;" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Wow!

I envy Morgan's ability to live with very few items. I try to do this myself but often fail:( Having so many blank spaces allow your mind to wander and reflect. (Said the hard-core introvert!).</span><br /></div>

I'm obsessed with very dark floors, I want some for myself! In my opinion, why this home works; is because it has many textures and details (like beautiful molding) that add interest. (Just my opinion)<br />BTW, I am sitting and watching the Weather Chanel; right now. There is a pretty decent storm heading right for us. Needless to say, blogging may not be at the top of my "To Do" list this week:(<br />Hope to be back as soon as possible.<br /></div>

Back to work.<br /> When summer comes around, I have trouble keeping my mind on anything other than our annual Santa Fe trip. We only started this tradition two years ago, but its already a "must do" for our family. This amazing house takes full advantage of the beautiful landscape, that makes Santa Fe such a special place. New Mexico really has the most amazing sky and light. Its difficult to describe, you just have to see it for yourself.<br /></div><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SI3SGQFzMjI/AAAAAAAACYk/5gg_VQ0uG3c/s1600-h/Picture+49.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228065747287355954" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SI3SGQFzMjI/AAAAAAAACYk/5gg_VQ0uG3c/s800/Picture+49.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 672px; height: 434px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SI3SG9keYGI/AAAAAAAACYs/6SHL-Uato8g/s1600-h/Picture+50.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228065759495610466" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SI3SG9keYGI/AAAAAAAACYs/6SHL-Uato8g/s800/Picture+50.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 677px; height: 510px;" /></a>Traditional Southwestern architecture and decor is still very prominent in Santa Fe, but this house gives it a modern twist.

Here is a collection of some beautiful kitchens I love. To me they have two main things in common:<br />1. Sleek and minimal cabinetry.<br />2. Freedom of expression.<br />I think modern kitchens are so open to the rest of the home, so they are much more stylized than any time previous. Cabinets look like furniture, or disappear into the background. There is also more space for artwork and decorative accessories. The modern kitchen needs to blend with the rest of the house.
