This weekend’s Get the Look Decor is inspired by the rural Staffordshire, England home of Constança and her husband Tiago. Since moving into their countryside home from Lisbon, Portugal this past year, the couple have been taking their time decorating their new home with a mix of secondhand furnishings and unique personal objects like books, art and travel souvenirs.
Constança and her husband are currently painting all of the walls in their home white. She says she loves the way layers of soft furnishings and shades of aqua, grey and red stand out from the white background.

Please move the logs from next to the woodburner! My friend's hubby is a firefighter & he gets called out regularly in the winter to houses where people stack wood to dry next to a very hot, lit woodburner. Love the colourful kitchen, but surely the Aga must be alight too at this time of year? I spotted highly inflammable baskets very close to it!

I love modern and contemporary design, but my roots are in the small farm town and the countryside~ It's a love that goes deep to my core, and I never get tired of this look. It's as comfortable as a well worn pair of jeans, a good booke, and a cozy blanket on a rainy day. xoxoxo

Such a beautiful post- I've been with English country garden for some time now. I'd predict it to be the hottest look for summer but I sincerely hope it waits till next year, likely then I shall have grasped on something else and will once again be ahead of the game! I have a terrible habit of liking something moments before it becomes trend, then of course I feel dreadfully mainstream and we can't have that.
