Inspiration in White: Wooden Tables and Chairs

Trudy Crane January 27, 2014

There are so many possible looks when it comes to choosing a table and chairs for the dining room or for the kitchen. Modern or mid-century, vintage or traditional they all look great and add a warmth to these rooms. I have been looking for a chair for my studio and the one in the first photo would be perfect! Such a fun vintage piece that would fit so well at my work table. I especially love the natural wood I am showing in these pictures but painted wood is always beautiful as well. I have a stained top on my wood dining room table, with painted legs so I get the best of both!

Inspiration in White: Oversize Chandeliers

Trudy Crane April 8, 2013

There are so many incredible lighting alternatives for every different style of home. I have a board on Pinterest for lighting and I just love some of the new simple industrial lights that are available.....BUT my first love is, and always will be, crystal chandeliers. One of the first posts I ever did on my blog was about chandeliers and mirrors here..

The best way to do a crystal chandelier is oversize..and by this I mean a real statement in the room..not a little one over the dining room table. The effect one of these large chandeliers can have in a room is amazing! The reflection and sparkle it can bring is like nothing else...

Enjoy!

Kitchen and Bath: Seafoam and White

Trudy Crane February 23, 2013

This beautiful contemporary kitchen and bath are made interesting by the choice of colour and materials. Pretty seafoam with silver fixtures makes this kitchen feel fresh and light. Check out that amazing ceiling! A really fun choice of fabrics for the banquette matched with leather in a caramel colour. The bathroom follows the look with a touch of seafoam and darker wood for contrast. Very traditional yet beautiful..

Enjoy!

Interior: Modern Neutrals

Trudy Crane January 5, 2013

This wonderful apartment is all done in great neutral shades, white, black, taupe and grey but it is anything but boring! Modern design with a less is more attitude, makes each piece of furniture selected feel absolutely right in its place in this home. I am so loving the dining room table with the outstanding pendant lamp and those amazing Eames style chairs! The other trend I really think is great is the pendant lamp beside the bed. It adds such an interesting look to the bedroom and gets away from having the lamps on the side-table. Beautiful..

Enjoy!

The All White Boathouse

Trudy Crane October 17, 2012

This boathouse on the Thames River in Middlesex England is a gorgeous example of an all white interior. I love the big spaces and light filled rooms that look out onto this great deck and big backyard. The only color is in the blue door (love this color of blue) and the wood and wicker that, of course, look so good in a white room. It is for rent so... any takers?

Enjoy!

Shabby Sophistication

Trudy Crane October 5, 2012

This Danish home has been renovated to fine perfection but maintains many of its original features such as the stove in the dining room. The Swedish folding table has been painted white and adds just the right amount of shabby to the otherwise sophisticated dining room. Frames leaning on the floor keep this decor from being too serious....
