White with Brights

Trudy Crane February 14, 2013

This small cottage is short on space but big in style. The all white house is really punched up with bright colours in yellow and blue with hits of brown and grey. You can feel the light flowing through this space and the mix of bright patterned fabrics really works well to pull the rooms together. I love the wallpaper in the kitchen and the bentwood bench in the dining room. Such great ideas and of course there is always the soapstone sinks for gardening projects...how I would love a little space like this! Really a lovely fresh home don't you think?

Enjoy!

Bright White

Trudy Crane February 10, 2013

Pretty bright white and light filled Swedish home that has so many great elements. Loving the view from the living room into the dining room and black and white sitting room. The modern kitchen and black and white tile in the bathroom are perfect!

Enjoy!

Vintage: Pastel and Cream

Trudy Crane February 7, 2013

This lovely Victorian cottage is decked out in old pinks, vintage treasures and draped in gorgeous light from the tall windows. Each room has so many unusual and interesting finds that I can not stop looking at the details to see how this effortless styling was created. Some of my favourite parts of this home are the slipper pink chair in the sitting room, the tall lamps on either side of the mirror and the bed in the child's room! So different and fun for a kids room don't you think?

Enjoy!

White Beachy Cottage

Trudy Crane February 5, 2013

This adorable cottage looks like it should be on the beach with trails of sand coming in on wet feet! White from floor to ceiling with touches of colour the house has a wonderful relaxed feeling. Things I am loving are the simple sheet thrown over the couch as a slip-cover, the gorgeous beamed ceiling and the pretty grouping of mirrors on one wall and antlers on the other! The kitchen is great with rough wood cupboard doors and open shelving over the counters. Really just perfect..

Enjoy!

Cool in the Hamptons

Trudy Crane January 31, 2013

Two years ago I spent a week in Southampton and I loved it. Our little hotel was not far from the beach and I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. The waves, the homes along the beach, the sand and the open space was amazing. The town was lovely and the people so kind and easy going! I was dying to see the inside of so many homes as they all looked wonderful as does this home. Built in the "saltbox" style and right on the water this house mixes soft ocean blues with white to create a gorgeous beachy atmosphere..

Shabby London Home

Trudy Crane January 27, 2013

This home in London is so pretty and filled to the brim with shabby decor! There are many interesting corners in this house and not one is empty but decorated to the max with accessories....mirrors, frames, books, candle holders and plants....whew! I love the two living rooms that are attached and the family room that is adjacent to the kitchen. Lots of cozy couches in this house to curl up on!

Enjoy!

Creamy Traditional Cottage

Trudy Crane January 17, 2013

What really strikes me about this lovely traditional home in the English countryside is the wall colour. I love this shade of white! I have a colour like this in my home and it can look anywhere from very white to creamy yellow depending on the room and the time of day (the paint is Mayonnaise from Benjamin Moore). I painted the ceiling white and the moldings a different white (but with a glossy paint) and this plays off the wall colour beautifully. A touch of black here and there to anchor the room and you have a great looking space like the one below...

Enjoy!

Interior: Black and White

Trudy Crane January 15, 2013

This beautiful fisherman's cottage, totally decorated in black and white, is currently owned by an interior designer and an architect. They took this once run down beauty and completely renovated inside and out and newly landscaped the surrounding land as well to take advantage of the garden as much as possible. New furnishings combine with antiques and found objects to create a warm and inviting home for this couple. I love the relaxed feeling in this home...simple, classic and a great place to invite family and friends...

Enjoy!

Brown and Black Decor

Trudy Crane January 9, 2013

Love the colouring in this brown, black and white home. The colour flows from one room to the other creating an environment that is easy on the eyes and makes a great statement. It features wonderful accessories with great cushions, artwork, and cool lamps. Very comfortable and livable..

Enjoy!

White Home Decor: Modern Meets Rustic

Trudy Crane January 8, 2013

This is one of those fabulous houses that has so many great elements I don't know where to start. How about the wall of white ironstone and glass! I love that so many pieces are oversized and command attention in the room. The mix of rustic with modern is well blended with the very rough coffee table in the living room and very clean lined closets in the dining room. Beautifully decorated....
