loving {cool white dining rooms}

If I didn't love Italian cuisine (particularly anything with red sauce) so much I would most certainly have a cool white dining area. Here are just two reasons why...

barely there

After all that color talk I saw a friends whitewashed bedroom this evening and was reminded once again of the perfect serenity that comes with the absence of color (color vs. none is my constant battle) especially when texture it is added. This dressing room and these pieces are perfect examples..

Hope you all had a good weekend!

winter whites

Ok, yes it is after labor day but no matter what time of the year white is always in style. I think that I actually put more white pieces in to my closet than I took out when I did the seasonal wardrobe switch. So with snow in the weather forecast for the rest of the week I thought it would be appropriate to have a little ode to winter white!

serene palette {soft gray + taupe}

The soft gray and taupe palettes of these rooms are definitley soothing to my eyes after a hectic day of work. The perfect transition to a quiet and relaxing evening...

Oh, and a bath in that lovely claw footed tub would be quite lovely too! Hope you all have a lovely evening.
