Dreamy White Home

Such a pretty white home in L.A. that uses contrast throughout with dark woods and touches of silver. Great decorative accessories with ginger jars in the hallway (love ginger jars) and amazing styling on a glass and silver table with zebra stool below. The bedroom though is my favourite spot in the house....but what about that closet.... that is my kind of closet!

Easy California

This is a lovely beach home in California. Wonderful whites, blues and neutral colours. Rattan with wood and stone...the perfect mix of easy natural materials that create an comfortable, cozy environment. I really love the red and white bedroom! The views are really incredible.....ahh yes I will keep posting summer homes all winter just to remind me that spring will come!!

Enjoy!

Soft Shades

This beautiful home of designer Mary McDonald is all done in shades of grey, taupe and white..lovely neutrals with a hint of pale colour...seems I am doing a lot of these types of homes lately...but I am suddenly very attracted to the pastels amongst the neutrals. I find it is a very easy and comfortable way to add colour to a home. She has added such great stripes everywhere and check out that chevron tile floor! What an amazing way to add interest to the room! It just goes so well with the other patterns in the room...and Mary really knows how to mix patterns as you can see by the other rooms in the house. The look and feel of the home  really extends to the outdoors as well. House Beautiful always has great inspiring spaces to share..

Enjoy!

Interiors: Cool Beauty

This incredible house in Iceland is so cool with the icy white against the grey. I think if I was ever to get rid of my white walls, this is the colour I would do....as you know I love grey and I find the white pops so well against this colour. There are so many ornate touches with the carved mirrors, the crest on the fireplace and the gold on the bed. The mix is so well done, barn, French, Scandinavian..but it all works. The kitchen is simply sublime with the small settee, large mirror and the two side tables..LOVE it! 

Enjoy!

California Cottage

It is summer and there is nothing better than being at the cottage, especially when it is decorated all in white (so fresh and relaxing) This wonderful cottage, featured in House Beautiful, has all the right elements. Plenty of space, beautiful decor and a fabulous view on the water!

Check these amazing buoy lights used as ceiling fixtures!

Great window coverings and the bench seat doubles as a bed. 

Love the chalkboard on the front of the island!

Cool white icebox refrigerator.

French linen bed cover is amazing.

Root table and sink in the Master bedroom.

Built in bunk beds are great for guests!

Happy Monday to all!

Enjoy,
