A Home with Simple Beauty and Understated Elegance

It's hard to pull off humble/simple and elegant, but I think this home was successful. Check it out:
eclectic objects add warmth
dark purple is always chic
love how the books are displayed!
a spacious hall with a picture ledge

inspiration simply tacked on the wall keeps the space from being stuffy - and it's so cool how the images extend into the next room
fab. architectural elements
