it's all in the details...
I love how pinstriped walls and black uppers pick up on the stove detail in these kitchens.
from Jeff Andrews Design.
(I expect we'll be hearing more about him shortly -
he's the chosen designer of the Kardashians :)

New and Old Meet in Black and White
One of the most wonderful thing about old homes is the character they contain.
Sometimes this becomes obliterated by renovations and decoration,
but it's fantastic to see the successful collaboration of old and new elements
in the home of Industrial Designer Kristina Stark.
The kitchen cabinetry may be new,
but open shelving and baskets keep it from
overpowering the gorgeous original wood stove.
Walls, trim and ceiling are white, and with no visual breaks, this space looks cavernous.
A coat of dove grey paint brings new life to tired floors,
terra cotta tiles will endure a lifetime of use.
What a restful space to slumber in.
The home owners must be morning people - no curtains!
I wish they put lovely deep windowsills like this in all the newer homes -
plants perch happily here in almost every room.
I think this is the star of the home.
One of my favourite rooms, ever!
I love every single thing here - that SPECTACULAR ceiling,
the bold, crisp stripes of the bed and carpet,
and the presentation, placement and scale of that yummy vintage art.
Does anyone know where you can buy those posters?

It's a beauty, isn't it?
Rare that you find an old home with such a perfectly modern vibe.
Foo Dog Fabulous
It's American Thanksgiving, and before I get into these chic little dogs,
I'm sending out a big thank you to all of you.
I started this blog because I felt every business should have one,
but it's become a very personal thing.
I didn't expect to meet so many "kindred souls".
So today I'm thankful for all of you, for your comments and support.
And I'm thankful for your blogs, which continue to inspire me and warm my heart :) daily.

Was cruising through the lighthearted boutique Ada and Darcy
the other day and spotted these Foo Dogs.
Such intense color and quirky appeal.
Love to see those in a room, I thought!
Ask and you shall receive...
This room is a perfect example of how a neutral-based palette does not have to be boring!
Using neutrals for the furnishings and surfaces allows you to bring in
whichever color you are currently fancying with accessories.
I'm fancying a pair of those tasty pups.
Anybody else?
As for the melting popsicle sculpture, I'll let you know if I find a source for that one :)
til next time..
