Interiors: Layers of Grey and White

I have posted about my love for grey before but it is a love affair that continues so I need to share again....grey is not only perfect in the home but I love to wear grey as well. I have so many grey sweaters that my closet looks frankly ridiculous. (does anyone need that many grey sweaters). Grey, black, beige and white....pretty much like my decor. I love the depth of grey and how mixing different greys can look in a room. It is like white in the way that layers of different whites in a room can have so much impact. Take a look at a few spaces layered in grey and a few grey outfits as well....

 Enjoy!

Creamy Traditional Cottage

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!

Elegantly Styled Loft

The loft of Wolfgang Behnken, creative director at Young & Rubicam, is a beautifully elegant space. Most rooms are very simple with minimal furnishings but nothing is done without thought. Each piece is part of his many collections that not only include furnishings but books and art as well. The library is full and disordered but he insists that he knows where each book is and that he can easily find what he is looking for...a true artist himself I think....

Enjoy!

Interior: Black and White

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!

Antique Mixes with Modern Farmhouse

This 19th century farmhouse is owned by the interior designer Darryl Carter. Not only did he design all of the interiors but many of the individual pieces of furniture and lamps as well. A wonderful clean space all dressed in neutrals with a mix of modern, antiques and rustic farmhouse pieces the flow of each room works beautifully!

Paola Navone Open Bedroom

I have shown this space before but never the bedroom portion of this incredible home of Paola Navone! I love how it is completely open to the rest of the home so you can see the dining room and kitchen from the bedroom.  The sink and bath are also open to the rest of the bedroom. Something you would have to get used to for sure however the room is really beautiful!

Enjoy!

Neutral Territory from Lonny Magazine

This month Lonny has a wonderful spread on the home of antique dealer Kaye O Toole. Each day as I look at all of the beautiful white homes I put on my blog I am constantly reminded of why I love white decor so much and this home does it again. It is very neutral in tone but it is the combination of many whites, creams, greys and pale blues that gives it such warmth and texture. The furniture and accessories throughout the home are just exquisite and unusual, collected over time. Kaye lives steps away from her antique store which I will show a bit of tomorrow. I love her kitchen with the white jars on the island and her bedroom with the incredible canopy bed looks so romantic and comfortable. Just a lovely, inspiring home..

Enjoy!

A Delightsome Life, From My Front Porch to Yours

Post brought to you by Rooms Furniture and Interiors. All opinions are mine

Brown and Black Decor

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

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....

Enjoy!
