::let there be light

We finally got our power back on yesterday afternoon. Aaron suggested we celebrate last night by sitting at home doing nothing with the lights on. : ) I just added a couple episodes of Design on a Dime to that plan ;) We didn't have too much damage from the storm. Our tree in the front yard finally keeled over and our fence in the backyard fell down....again...but no house damage.

And now for something unrelated...I found this picture. I've never really been a fan of the natural trim but I have to say, it works really well in this space. So much so, that should I live here, I don't think I'd paint it white! What do you think? Does it look too dated? Or does it just give off an effortless, "I'm vintage and kinda cool" chic?

i LOVE wood trim! but, only in homes built before 1960. there was a phase in the 90s with over lacquered oak was the norm. i think it needs to be 1. dark, and 2. wide trim. I think that's the only time it looks good.
