For those who like a bit of "rough"...

Rough Luxe Design is curated by Kahi Lee,

dedicated to "The New Love of Old", the authentic and unpretentious.

Rough Luxe is rustic, nostalgic, romantic, pragmatic, 

accessible, friendly, delightfully rumpled and a little on the theatrical side.

Rough Luxe seem to beckon "Get comfortable".

Interior Design photographer Francois Halard 

said that he admires homes that are 

"a reflection of the soul, not what the owner can afford".

So sit back, relax and get the vibe.
