Trending Now: Rustic Chic

It doesn’t have to be country themed to be “Rustic”, or a complete white room to be “Chic”. Here are some beautifully decorative, elegant spaces that show you just that.
Entry Way
Light and airy
 
Living Rooms
This is probably one of my favorite styles at the moment.
The spaces are so warm and inviting.
 

 
Kitchen
I love the combination of white cabinets and dark floors.
 
Dining Room
Mix & Match
 
 
You will notice each space has beautiful chandeliers- which really adds to the chic-ness.
 
 
Just by incorporating a few things seen in these photos, you can achieve this very same look.
