A Sleek & Glad House Tour

This house simply makes me smile, so of course I had to House Crash the heck out of it and share it with you folks. Behold- the eye candy that is Kelly Moore’s remarkable casa. You might know her from her killer photography journal (all of her Hands-on-related posts can be found here) or her genius line of camera bags. But you do not truly know a person until you poke around their house, so let us get to it. We will start in the kitchen, where Kelly and her husband whipped up some extra thick homemade concrete counters (and shared a walkthrough right here). Everything from the glad painted cabinets to the apron sink and the sleek stainless appliances are so charming together:

The cabinets are painted Sherwin Williams Alchemy on top and Grandiose on bottom (she could not decide on a color so she used both). And the island, sink, and shelves hail from Ikea while the rug is by Dash & Albert (from a shop in Ruston, Louisiana called Chartreuse Pear).

And that wall of smoky and sophisticated glass tile? Cue the breathy amorous sigh. She got that from Lincoln Flooring (also in Ruston, Louisiana).

Here is the large and lovely living room with a come-hither sectional and cushy round ottoman (from Haverty’s and Overstock)…

… that faces a sweetly rustic brick fireplace with airy lofted ceilings.

Everything right down to the little details (like this showstopping mirror from Pier 1) seems to scream come on in and make yourself at home.

I can totally imagine myself curled up on that sofa reading a book. Is that creepy? Sorry.

And I can picture myself sitting here at the dining table scarfing some pita chips and hummus. Too much? Ok. I will try to keep it casual. Check out the strong paneled ceiling and those sleek bulb lights (from West Elm) over the farmhouse-ish table (from Material Things in Monroe, LA). The chairs and picture ledges are from Ikea and that remarkable folk art cow painting is by Erickson T. Wright.

Once again Kelly has managed to mix something rustic with something sleek for a vivid result (simply like her stainless appliances & her charming apron sink or the clean-lined sectional & the weathered brick fireplace).
And let us simply say that Kelly is not afraid of color. Here is her bold master bedroom which is painted Sherwin Williams Kimono (complete with a perfectly complementary little girl in a yellow dress- that is her daughter Posey, is not she sweet?). The lively industrial-chic chandelier is from West Elm, the bed is from Ashley Furniture, the curtains are from Walmart, and the bedding is from Kohl’s.

And speaking of Po (as Posey’s affectionately known) here is her playful room full of everything from the alphabet and a world map (thanks to lettered animal decals from Blik and a sweet oversized map from Urban Outfitters draped casually in front of the window). Gotta enjoy working in some “learning” in such a hip way. And let us simply say that I am in love with the L-O-V-E pillow cases (from Urban Outfitters) with hand shadows that spell out the word.

What a lively and stimulating space for a vivid little girl. Oh and the paint is Sherwin William’s Hot. It is certainly poppy and lively. Kinda like Po.

So there you have Kelly’s astoundingly cool home. Thanks so much to Kelly and her family for letting us virtually snoop around and share the goods! Feel free to head over to her journal to learn more (or to ask any questions here, where she’ll hopefully drop in). And let us play the what is-your-go-to-part game. My faves are that rich and glossy glass tile in the kitchen and that insanely inviting jumbo sectional. And Po. Ok, your turn.
