refined + rustic
Here in the heart of the rocky mountains rustic style reigns supreme. It is also a style that I have a love hate relationship with. When it is done with refinement and restraint it is one of my favorites. However, this balance is a hard one to reach. I think Erin Martin is definitley one of the more flawless in its execution, especially in this California home.

PS: That party barn is just too awesome.
:)
i echo your feelings about rustic decor. i am a recent transplant from the south the the west, and i have to admit that i am not the biggest fan of the log-cabin look, which seems to be very popular here.
i adore the pictures you posted though---elegant and rustic and unique!
