If My Blog Was A Room – Next Up – Maple Leaves and Sycamore Trees

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am excited to have Kat here, from her blog Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees. I love stopping by Kat’s blog to see her latest antique and thrift store finds. She has a great eye and has amazing DIY skills! So without further adieu, here is what Kat came up with-

Hey guys! I’m Kat from Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees, and I’m excited to be over here sharing some of my favorite spaces, so thanks, Amber, for having me. If my blog were a room (or rooms!), it’d have a relaxed, casual feel just like some of these spaces. First let’s start with the exterior. I love a home that’s not humongous and has nice details–like working shutters, differing facades, picket fences, and detailed trim work.

Now let’s go inside and start at the heart of the home: the kitchen. What I love in these kitchens are the different finishes, antique rugs, and that little bit of vintage industrial flair.

If you haven’t checked out For the Love of a House blog yet, you’re in for a real treat. I love just about everything in Joan’s house including her gorgeous kitchen.

We just redid our kitchen (well actually, it’s still a work in progress:/) and there wasn’t any room for open shelving. I do love the look though. Look at how pretty these shelves are!

Can you tell that kitchens are my favorite room in the house? Okay, I better move on before you wanna fix yourself a sandwich. Dining rooms:

Here’s an eclectic dining room with fun wall art and a bookcase. This would be a great solution for a room that must do double duty. (BTW, do you love settees at dining tables as much as I do? Ah…LOVE that look!)

This “dining room” looks like it’s part of an open floor plan where each room flows into the next. Talk about great for entertaining.

Some sort of display storage is necessary (in my book) in a dining room. Love this piece with the white dishes stacked casually but neatly inside.

And the last room I’ll cover today is the living room: cozy, inviting, and down-to-earth–all characteristics that I hope you sense from my blog.

Thanks again, Amber, for having me. It was fun sharing some of my favorite spaces! Hope you guys can stop by Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees sometime and check out the renovations going on around our place.

Thank you so much for being here, Kat! Rustic spaces, unique lighting and subway tile… gotta love them all! And I can’t wait to see the paneled walls in your bathroom- love that look. For great DIY’s, unique finds and design chat, stop by Kat’s blog here.
