I was recently introduced to Gather & Build (thanks to Pinterest "Home Decor" searches) and I am in love with their blog!! The blog features lots of great before and after pics and design ideas. I had to share their Bradford Avenue project because the final result is simple fabulousness!

We don't have a tremendous need for fireplaces in Houston but this latest cold snap got me thinking about them. Not to mention, I have been smelling neighboring fireplaces all night tonight. Love that smell. You can do A LOT with your fireplace and turn it into an amazing room centerpiece. Some inspiration..... traditional and not so traditional options.

This cabin is only 500 square feet but it's got so many great things going on!! It was designed by Olson Kundig Architects to be a writer's cabin/guest house.There are 3 functional decks for when the house is in use but those same decks raise up to secure the house when it's not in use. Fabulous design, wonderful interior. Love it.
