Broom Collection

The Lake House where I stayed last weekend was impeccably decorated. My friend's mother in law is the one responsible for creating the relaxed and casual, yet elegant feel of the house. But among the beachy throw pillows, comfy couches and rustic touches I found a curious element present in each of the rooms - a broom.

The Classic

See, their family was in the broom business, and the brooms serve as a reminder of their family's heritage and history. Can you say cool?

Classic Straw

Weaved

Opposite Colors

I didn't realize there could be so many variation on something as simple and basic as a broom.
Yes, I took pictures of them all. I'm weird like that!
