I just had to share pictures of Ina Garten/ The Barefoot Contessa's new home from this month's issue of
House Beautiful. It's a newly constructed barn. I'd happily raise my family in this barn!

Her island is 16 feet long! (Ok, wiping down a 16' island doesn't sound fun to me, I'll be honest, but it would be a lot of fun to entertain with.)

This is the headboard I want now: Upholstered linen. (I'd do a slipcover though, so I could wash it & possibly switch it out seasonally... although this oatmeal color would look beautitul with any seasonal bedding.) It's so natural & simple. Love it.

And I'm sure you've seen this slipper tub by Waterworks, but how perfect is it in this nook of windows? (As long as you have lots of land!)
