This house just makes me smile, so of course I had to House Crash the heck out of it and share it with you guys. Behold- the eye candy that is Kelly Moore’s amazing casa. You might know her from her killer photography blog (all of her DIY-related posts can be found here) or her genius line of camera bags. But you don’t really know a person until you poke around their house, so let’s get to it. We’ll start in the kitchen, where Kelly and her husband whipped up some extra thick homemade concrete counters (and shared a tutorial right here). Everything from the happy painted cabinets to the apron sink and the sleek stainless appliances are so charming together:
The cabinets are painted Sherwin Williams Alchemy on top and Grandiose on bottom (she couldn’t decide on a color so she used both). And the island, sink, and shelves hail from Ikea while the rug is by Dash & Albert (from a shop in Ruston, Louisiana called Chartreuse Pear).
And that wall of smoky and sophisticated glass tile? Cue the breathy amorous sigh. She got that from Lincoln Flooring (also in Ruston, Louisiana).
Here’s the large and lovely living room with a come-hither sectional and cushy round ottoman (from Haverty’s and Overstock)…
… that faces a sweetly rustic brick fireplace with airy lofted ceilings.
Everything right down to the little details (like this showstopping mirror from Pier 1) seems to scream come on in and make yourself at home.
I can totally imagine myself curled up on that sofa reading a book. Is that creepy? Sorry.
And I can picture myself sitting here at the dining table scarfing some pita chips and hummus. Too much? Ok. I’ll try to keep it casual. Check out the great paneled ceiling and those sleek bulb lights (from West Elm) over the farmhouse-ish table (from Material Things in Monroe, LA). The chairs and picture ledges are from Ikea and that amazing folk art cow painting is by Erickson T. Wright.
Once again Kelly has managed to mix something rustic with something sleek for a gorgeous result (just like her stainless appliances & her charming apron sink or the clean-lined sectional & the weathered brick fireplace).
And let’s just say that Kelly isn’t afraid of color. Here’s her bold master bedroom which is painted Sherwin Williams Kimono (complete with a perfectly complementary little girl in a yellow dress- that’s her daughter Posey, isn’t she sweet?). The fun industrial-chic chandelier is from West Elm, the bed is from Ashley Furniture, the curtains are from Walmart, and the bedding is from Kohl’s.
And speaking of Po (as Posey’s affectionately known) here’s her playful room full of everything from the alphabet and a world map (thanks to lettered animal decals from Blik and a sweet oversized map from Urban Outfitters draped casually in front of the window). Gotta love working in some “learning” in such a hip way. And let’s just say that I’m in love with the L-O-V-E pillow cases (from Urban Outfitters) with hand shadows that spell out the word.
What a fun and stimulating space for a gorgeous little girl. Oh and the paint is Sherwin William’s Hot. It’s definitely poppy and fun. Kinda like Po.
So there you have Kelly’s astoundingly cool home. Thanks so much to Kelly and her family for letting us virtually snoop around and share the goods! Feel free to head over to her blog to learn more (or to ask any questions here, where she’ll hopefully drop in). And let’s play the what’s-your-favorite-part game. My faves are that rich and glossy glass tile in the kitchen and that insanely inviting jumbo sectional. And Po. Ok, your turn.

My hubs and I are so jealous of their DIY concrete countertop that we’ve decided to take a stab at it once we move into our new place (just bought it yesterday!!). Everything about their home (and yours!) inspires us to make bold choices.

Favourite = the giant cow painting in the kitchen! Mooooove over, boring still lifes.
Kelley says
Hi, my name is smitten. My favorite are those kitchen cabinets. And the whole rest of the kitchen.
melissa says
Aahhh! I have been dying to get my hands on one of her camera bags. And now I want her kitchen too.
Ashley @ Spite or Flight says
Ok, I’m not sure what I love more: those amazing countertops, the lights in her dining room, or the fact that her little girl is named Posey. Can I steal all of those things? Because I’m totally going to. We’ve been toying with the idea of doing the same thing to our countertops and now I actually think I can pull it off.
YoungHouseLove says
I know, isn’t Posey the best name? I loved it the entire time I was prego, but I just didn’t think Posey Petersik did justice to the name. Haha.

Love love love this house! This is perfect to show my husband – I love color so much and he is not a fan, so this will be something perfect to show him it can be done in a way everyone loves! Thank you for sharing!
leigh says
I love love love that mirror from pier 1. Seeing that mirror was like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I need to find one just like it for my living room. It is perfect in every way.
widdlesh says
Wow! This is such a fantastic living space! I’m in college, so I’m nowhere near this level of interior design, but I can’t wait to make my home something like this one day!
heidi faith says
OK!!! After seeing the bold & beautiful choices they made I am OK with (1) my husband doing our DIY concrete countertops (he’s been talking about them since BEFORE we got married in 2009) and (2) bold colors = ok, but still kinda scary.
Diana says
Love the house. Can I ask where you found Posey’s gorgeous bed?
Bailey says
Sherry, do you know what the name of the gray color painted in the living room is?
YoungHouseLove says
I think Kelly mentioned that a while back in the comments. Maybe try scrolling back for that. It’s Platinum something I think!

reeve says
I’m absolutely in LOVE with this house! Thanks for sharing:)
Michele says
Love the smoky glass tile! But I especially love her family photo above the fireplace. Wonder if she takes them herself with a timer, or who SHE uses as a photographer LOL!
Georgia says
I’m kind of late to comment, but I’ve been looking for that sink and can’t find it on the Ikea website. Do you know if they still make it/what it’s called? Thanks!
YoungHouseLove says
I think they still sell it in stores (but not online since they don’t ship it). Maybe try calling a store and describing it?

Kristin says
I am also a bit late to the comments here, but does anyone know where I can find that table she used for a kitchen island?
YoungHouseLove says
Here’s hoping she drops in with that info for ya!

Love, love, love to see my the table that Kelly bought from my shop, Material Things, in Monroe, LA mentioned…she’s really got it going on…smart girl!!
Gwenalyn says
I love this house! The living room has a very similar layout to mine and I have been trying to convince my husband to go gray! These pictures will show him just how great it would look. I also love the cabinets and the purple bedroom – I wish I was that bold! Oh, and the cow art = awesomeness! I love cows! :)
Michele Reihing says
I am in the process of painting my family room, breakfast area and kitchen. LOVED the brown, tan and gray but my kitchen cabinet are kinda pinkish color cabinet and dont know what color would look best for it. Home you can help:)
YoungHouseLove says
I would just bring home swatches of those color and hold them up to the pinkish color and see which ones work with it! I’m sure there are some browns, tans, and grays that will!

Heidi says
Was wondering what color the living room was painted…..is it the same as the dining or is it lighter? It looks lighter. I love the dining room color, but was wondering if a lighter color was used in adjoining rooms. THanks so much for posting these wonderful ideas.
Lee says
Two questions: Do you happen to know the name of the gray wall color they have in the living room/dining area?
Could you find a new link to the concrete counter tutorial? The link there doesn’t seem to work.
Love this house! Thanks!
YoungHouseLove says
Oh man, if you follow the link over to her blog (from today’s post, which has an updated link) you can search things pretty easily, so I’d search “concrete counter” and hopefully it’ll pop right up. Don’t know the paint color, but maybe over there it’s listed or Kelly will drop in with that info?

Lee says
One more question – how to get that paneling on the ceiling? Did they do it themselves? Could we get more detail on it?
Also, sorry, I now see a lot of other people have already asked about the gray paint color, haha.
YoungHouseLove says
No worries! If Kelly can drop in here for more info that would help ya, or you could hop over to her blog and ask her directly! Hope it helps!

Trela says
I know I’ve seen them before, but now that I want them, I can’t find them… nifty little utensil holder/bar/hooks in the kitchen? Ikea?
YoungHouseLove says
I think those are Ikea. Here’s hoping Kelly will drop in to confirm.

From the garden into the house… (I have just read the second article too about the landscaped areas outside).
Some of the photography for this house is just amazing and it does the interior design lots of justice. My favourites? It has to be the smoky glass kitchen tiles. And the super smart dining area (I love the dark wall and the effect of the lights on it). And the mirror (the …woodiness makes it feel like home) and of course the bedroom (so atmospheric and dramatic too; special mention to the chandelier of course). A very stylish house.
Cathy Poplock says
I would love to know about the kitchen island. Where can I get one?
YoungHouseLove says
Maybe click over to her blog for more info? Good luck!
