there’s nothing much basic about this mountain cottage designed by kate and ben towill of basic projects. tucked away up in cashiers, north Carolina, on a high plateau in The Heart Of The Blue Ridge Mountains, it’s the ultimate cozy ‘getaway from it all’ kind of place. they’ve designed it with an english cottage vibe in mind with loads of vintage artwork and home furnishings, but i love the unique, modern touches, too — like those Marcel Breuer Mid-Century Modern steel dining chairs upholstered in mustard yellow and that beautiful plush velvet sofa — it’s always so much more fun to pair unexpected pieces together. for the full tour, visit basic projects and visit their ‘behind the scenes’ photo journal as well!
