Feminine Touch

As I was doing some research yesterday I stumbled on the home of the designer Carolyne Quatermain and I am so happy I did. I spent at least an hour going through her website and looking at each of the articles written on this incredible designer. She really has the most refined eye! This woman designs homes, businesses, crystal, fabric...really versatile.

Her home in France is so feminine and so sophisticated but not overdone. She uses all white surfaces and then pops it with color in such a brilliant way. It is a mix of modern textures and patterns with classic shapes. Of course I love all the chandeliers and the prints on the chairs are beautifully designed.....but that painting in the living room leaning beside the couch....be still my heart.

Enjoy!

Schoolhouse Vintage

This restored 100 year old schoolhouse is full of gorgeous vintage style! From the moment you enter the home the pretty black and white tile leads you into wonderfully decorated space. The kitchen with a Smeg fridge (check out these Smeg fridges) and stove and has a white and grey painted floor and many wonderful little details...look at the little decorative iron piece over the top of the window. Such a creative replacement for a curtain valence!

For me one of the best pieces in this home is the gorgeous cabinet in the dining room.....oh so beautiful! It is such a large piece with such a small, simple base with a shabby finish...just perfect!

Enjoy!
