What's not to love about...WHITE?

For any skeptics out there who are hesitant about using white in design, here are some examples to prove just how versatile and truly neutral white is.  White will make any color pop, white can add texture and add sheer chic to any design. I love looking at these, I find it very calming and soothing as well - great to come home to after a busy day of work.  What do you love or dislike about white? Would you design around an all white room?

What do you love about this kitchen?

Hello blog world, its Sunday and I'm resting at home trying to get rid of this nasty old cold.  I thought I would pose a question today for this picture of a lovely kitchen. What do you like about it? What draws you to it, if anything?  What is the first thing you notice? What words would you use to describe it? Just some things to think about as you decide what you may or may like about this kitchen.  Have a great Sunday!

What do I like? Well, the rustic cabinets with the metal, white,

baskets and blackboards all seem to mix together so well in 

combination with the dark floor.  I love the whitewashed look of

the cabinets as well as the regular stove, not some fancy

Wolf range. Its a very down to earth kitchen don't you think? I also

love that the island is a simple table, not an overdone, fancy 

cabinet that seems to be in every renovated kitchen with granite

countertops.  It is a bit French country no? Original, quirky, unique are what 

come to mind to describe this kitchen. Whew! What do you think?? 

I would love

to hear from you!!

Best of MI...shabby + chic = GORGEOUS!

Hello fellow bloggers! How are things in your new 2013 world today? I hope you are well! Continuing with my 'Best of' series, I wanted to include a post on the lovely shabby chic aesthetic and Pinterest is a fabulous place for constant inspiration for this and many, many other fashion, design, art etc. aesthetics.   This was a post from 2011 so grab a cup of tea, glass of wine or water and enjoy!  ;-))



Are you at a loss as to where to put that shabby and worn out dresser, table, chair or bureau?  Well, look no further than these pics showing a piece of shabby furniture in rooms with different aesthetics. The look of these worn items mixed in with other pieces is fabulous and timeless. Its such a classic look that you can experiment with and see how it fits. These pics are from one of my favorite boards on PINTEREST - are you following me there yet? Do you love?

Each piece is unique and looks so right - I especially love this

kitchen cupboard - just the right amount of paint is gone.

Have a great rest of the weekend! Hope you are inspired to 

start a new project!

Is your home exactly how you like it?

As fall is quickly approaching, I am offering my decorating services. If

you are thinking about changing things up in your house, I can help if its

new artwork, fabrics, pillows or a whole room redesign. We can work via

email with consultation, then a mood board with suggested stores and sources. Please
