Today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to Modern Country Style.
Modern Country Style is all about renovating an English Edwardian home in the Cotswolds, inspiring interior design, and creating gorgeousness {who doesn't want to create gorgeousness!?}. As you may have guessed from the subtle hint in the blog title, there is a love of Modern Country Style. Gorgeous, pared-back interiors infused with the warmth of Country: gentle greys, accents of red and a hint of soft industrial. YUM!

I fell in L-O-V-E instantly with Sarah's blog when I first saw the dreamy master bedroom redo.I just wanted to jump in her bed {after a short flight, of course}
I dream of a master bedroom like that. You can feel the warmth the softness the quiet design that speaks volumes.

Here is some eye candy!
Enjoy The beauty Sarah has created in her home
and then go pay Modern Country Style a visit!
