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!

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!

Inspiration in White - Cozy Spaces
It is so cold here in Montreal right now and we have two feet of snow in the front yard! I am sitting at my computer in a big cashmere sweater with my housecoat overtop trying to stay warm (yes we have a well heated home but there seems to be drafts everywhere!) All I can think about is getting into a cozy spot by the fire or under a blanket so I thought I would share with you a few cozy spaces that I like..
Enjoy!

Eclectic Apartment Decor
The apartment of this young couple is exactly as it should be...young, fun and eclectic! Solid base pieces like the tufted couch are perfect to work off of (and are a good investment)...just add the creativity! Love all the Morrocan touches and the red floor in the bedroom and kitchen is fantastic played off the white walls !
Enjoy!

Interior: Modern Neutrals
This wonderful apartment is all done in great neutral shades, white, black, taupe and grey but it is anything but boring! Modern design with a less is more attitude, makes each piece of furniture selected feel absolutely right in its place in this home. I am so loving the dining room table with the outstanding pendant lamp and those amazing Eames style chairs! The other trend I really think is great is the pendant lamp beside the bed. It adds such an interesting look to the bedroom and gets away from having the lamps on the side-table. Beautiful..
Enjoy!

White and Colourful Vintage
I don't normally put homes with a lot of colour in them on my blog but I find this lovely house very inspiring. The white exterior and the all white interior with the colourful vintage furnishings is so pretty and feminine I had to share! I love the use of the pink and turquiose together and the mix of vintage fabrics all with different florals or patterns.
The renovated exterior of this home is so amazing with the balconies all around the house and with those amazing dormer windows. You can see the way the dormers are used in some of the other photos. A big couch sits inside one of them and the big white bed sits in the other making great use of the architecture of the home. You can see there has been a lot of care put into the upkeep and renovation of this home while still keeping its original character and charm.

Interiors: White on White
Simple and chic white on white decorating in this home in England. All of my favorite elements including pops of colour with a mix of vintage, barn and Swedish style. Take a look at the child like art throughout the home that adds a really whimsical element and a touch of humour to each room. When I see a home like this I remember the importance of layering different white and cream colours into the space to ensure you have depth and don't forget about different textures as well.
Enjoy!

My 2012 Top Posts
It was only 6 months ago that I began my website and blog. Wow did that go quickly! Why did I start it? Well I wanted to share my love of home decor (and of course of all things white)! A passion I have had for many years and that I fulfilled one other time in my life when I had my own home decor boutique. I was lucky enough to help my clients decorate their homes with the treasures I had found and I am so pleased to be able to do that again as I move back into the design field.
My biggest surprise this year came from how much I love blogging and the reason is really because of you! I am amazed at the incredible support from everyone and love and read every comment that I receive.
Thank you for making the past 6 months so wonderful and I will continue to try to surprise and delight you through 2013. Let me know how I am doing!
Here are some of my Top posts of 2012!
My favourite post of the year was the Paris Home of Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier .
Greek Island Beauty with Paola Navone
This Creamy Cottage was a much loved post by me and you!
This lovely Gingerbread House...
And of course we all love Nina Hartmann's home and her books Vintage by Nina!
No year would be complete without a post on Shabby Chic!
And finally the most viewed and loved post was this beautiful Edwardian Cottage..
Wishing you the best for 2013! Health, success and happiness to all of you....
