Coveted Crib: A New England Farmhouse
With a whitewashed frame and traditional outline, this New England farmhouse looks like it may have been there for the last 100 or more years, though it was only recently constructed. The generous use of windows on two stories ensure that the home's owners can enjoy the woodsy view, while the whitewashed house contrasts beautifully with the traditional red barn.

Coveted Crib: A Very Modern Development
Can traditional and modern elements successfully mix in a home reno? The answer, according to Saunders Architecture, is a resounding yes. When a family wanted to expand their traditional home, the firm proposed an approximately 100-square-foot extension that would starkly contrast the original home's architecture.
Do You Have a Kids' Table at Thanksgiving Dinner?
Some of my fondest childhood Thanksgiving memories involve sitting at the kids' table. I loved the sense of connection it gave me with my cousins, some of whom I only saw a few times a year. And of course, as soon as we finished eating, we could escape outside to play, before anyone could call us in for cleanup duty.
Roundup: Delft Blues For the Traditionalist

Coveted Crib: A Not-So-Traditional California Beauty
When Jeffers Design Group redesigned this wine country getaway, the firm used a mix of traditional and modern elements to shape the space. Playful and classic textiles blend beautifully in living and bedrooms, while Moroccan lanterns add an unexpected element to a high-ceilinged room. Throughout the home, a mix of custom and antique furnishings keeps the feel of the space modern and welcoming.
Do You Have Window Boxes on All Floors?
Homeowners (and renters as well) tend to only install window boxes on the first floor of their houses. But I love the way the boxes of geraniums on this four-story white building look. On second thought, they're almost too healthy looking; they may be fake, and perhaps it wouldn't work on a more traditional house.
10 Chimney-Free Portable Fireplaces
This is the dawn of a new era of home heating. Traditional fireplaces with chimneys have always been something that adds value to a home; turning your heater up just doesn't have the same effect as sitting around a cozy fire. But now there's a wide range of portable fireplaces that burn eco-friendly ethanol ready to replace traditional fireplaces.
Desire/Acquire: DWR's Cellula Chandelier
While the Cellula Chandelier ($2,210) may be on sale for nearly $400 off the original price, over $2K is more than most of us are willing to spend on a light fixture. Still, since the Cellula chandelier is studded with Swarovski crystal pendants, it's a definite head-turner. It's a great upgrade on the traditional chandelier, and is sleek enough to fit the most cutting-edge home.
Love It or Hate It? Playing With Tradition Rug
Richard Hutten's Playing with Tradition Rug for I + I is a cheeky design, blending a traditional Persian style rug with a striped, barcode-like pattern. Both patterns would stand well on their own, but together they make a much more intriguing statement. What do you think?Source

Love It or Hate It? Modern Chairs With a Traditional Dining Table
In this dining room, classic modern Vitra Panton Chairs ($262) are paired with a traditional dining table with turned wood legs. I think this little touch of modernity is refreshing, especially for a place which, judging from the wainscoting, isn't a contemporary home. Do you like this mix-and-match effect?
