Funky, Fun, Fresh Interior Designer












John Jacob Interiors

Love the round wooden architectural pieces behind the sofa.

A large coffee table with lots of room for books, shells, lion heads, and greenery.



Photo 2:

Exposed timbers and glass vases are stunning.











Photo 3:
Pitchforks hang on the back wall and old clock parts hang in rustic triple frames.







Photo 4:

Love the ironstone plates on the wall.

The transom window over the french doors give added light.







Photo 5:

I heart the old wagon wheels that take up some space in this lofty room.

Shiver me timbers....




I love the timber beams and iron supports.

The arched window over the patio door mimics the arch in the fireplace opening.

This makes me drool....slurp!











Wood and iron railing. Very simple, very stunning.















Love the stonework and timber in this living room.

The timber beams have a slight arch just like the fireplace opening.

The horizontal straps on the wooden posts really give it a rustic character. Lots of wood going on, but yet it still feels open and airy with all those windows!

Beautiful Homes & Garages near Briar Cliff Village in Kansas

Doing some drive by shooting...camera shooting that is!!

Here are some lovely homes near the Briar Cliff Village in Kansas.

Look at this neat walkway bridge...a flowing stream is below it. Love all the stone work.



Look at these stone arches...beautiful!

I love the architectural details in this front facade of the home.

Love the small brick arches over the windows of this garage. This garage reminds me of a carriage house. I love the brackets on the front of the garage under the roofline. The iron brackets on the garage doors make it look more carriage like.

Got a few spare windows?


If you have a few spare windows lying around..why not hang them!

Here they are suspended on picture hanging wire.

One is used for the shelf with which to put all sorts of pretties on it. Love the white birdcage!

The second window is hung as the vignette's backdrop.

summer fun
