Room Love
I’m kind of surprised that I like this room as much as I do. But after I studied it for a while, I realized why:
1. the Missoni bedding. I actually bought the shams (not the duvet but just the shams) a few years ago in Paris. Love the pink pillow too.
2. the gold chairs with the [...]
Orange Crush: Orange Jieldé Lamps
Welcome to this month’s edition of Orange Crush brought to you by From the Right Bank and Down and Out Chic. Today, I thought I’d combine my love of orange with my love of Jieldé Lamps. I love these classic lights for their amazing quality and industrial good looks.
They come in an array of great [...]
Solid Gold + Thank You
I’ve been a silver and chrome kinda gal for years now but lately I’m really feeling gold and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s lovely images like these?
I can’t believe today is March already. (I thought I had a few more days!) I’d like to thank the lovely Pam from Red Ticking and Persis from [...]
Black And White Bedrooms
I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record with all the black and white but I just have to show you some of the bedrooms I’ve been collecting for a while:
I hope you have some fun planned for your weekend. Hubs and I are hitting the hardware store (again), moving some furniture around, [...]
Back to Black and White
Thank you all so much for the sweet comments on Friday. It was a tough weekend and your thoughts and comments really meant a lot to me so thank you. Everything is going to be okay so let’s get back to decorating!
As soon as we bought our new house, I made up my mind that [...]
Orange Crush: Orange and Gray
Orange Crush is back! If you’re new to my blog, Orange Crush is a monthly collaboration with my pal Christina at Down and Out Chic where we share with you our love of the color orange. We took a little break while I was busy with my move (thanks for your patience, Christina!) but we’re [...]
Every Room Needs a Touch of Red
Who was it that said every room needs a touch of red?
I’ve always liked red and have lots of red pieces but I can never seem to incorporate it into rooms in a way that I like.
Looking at these photos, I’m starting to think the key is gray walls. That seems to be my answer for [...]
Black, Yellow and a Wallpaper Update
It’s been a while since I’ve done a yellow and black post.
For me it’s a combination that just doesn’t get old.
I’m liking the wallpaper here quite a bit:
Speaking of wallpaper, for those of you following my quest for wallpaper for the powder room, I got a sample of the Thatch pattern from Cavern and unfortunately [...]
Just When You Thought I Couldn’t Have Any More To Say About Gray Paint
While I’ve been going on and on about the Benjamin Moore “Trout Gray” I chose for the kitchen cabinets, I forgot to mention the lighter gray I chose for the dining room and the master bedroom. It’s called “Bunny Gray” (also Benjamin Moore) which made me hesitate at first because I thought it was a [...]
More Gray Paint and a House Update
I’m going to meet with my painter tomorrow to talk about paint colors. I’m going to do it – I’m going to paint the kitchen cabinets gray! I’ve been staring at paint swatches all weekend and still haven’t come to a decision. If anyone has a gray paint they like, please share.
One of my readers [...]
Gray Kitchens
Until we actually close on our house, I’m trying to walk a fine line between planning our move and not getting too carried away in case it falls through. And that, my dear readers, is no easy task! It’s even harder not to talk about the house because that’s all I want to do! [...]
Orange Crush: Orange & Purple
Welcome to Orange Crush, a monthly collaborative series presented by Down and Out Chic and From the Right Bank to the Left Coast. With this installment, I’d like to begin exploring color combinations with orange, starting with one of my favorites, orange and purple.
This room is the perfect example of how rich and luxurious this [...]
Orange Crush: Beds
Welcome to the third installment of Orange Crush, a monthly collaboration between Down and Out Chic and From the Right Bank to the Left Coast.
Today for your viewing pleasure, I have orange beds. Orange is not what I’d call a go-to color for a bed but here are some good examples of why it certainly [...]
It’s Black And White
It seems like I fall in love with a new favorite color combination every week and having no loyalty whatsoever, I’ll quickly abandon it when a new and prettier one catches my eye. But the one I will always stay true to is black and white.
Black and white have always been my favorite colors to [...]
A Yellow And Gray Post Inspired By Rachel Zoe
So most of you know that I’ve been completely enamored with yellow all year. And one of my favorite pairings with yellow is gray.
Isn’t this a lovely room? Well, what does this have to do with Rachel Zoe, you ask?
I’ll tell you. I was watching her show yesterday (recorded from Monday) and she went to [...]
Orange Crush: Walls
Welcome to the second installment of Orange Crush, a collaboration between From the Right Bank to the Left Coast and Down and Out Chic where we show you the fabulousness that is orange. (If you missed the first installment, you can find it here.)
This week, I’d like to show you some orange walls. Now, as [...]
Feeling A Little Blue
Not to worry, I mean I’m feeling blue, literally. In addition to the blue and white stripes that I mentioned earlier in the week, I find myself liking just a splash of blue here and there.
Especially when it’s paired with yellow or red. It’s a primary thing, I guess.
Do have a favorite shade of blue?
I [...]
Black And Yellow Loveliness
I thought I had gotten black and yellow out of my system but apparently not.
How do you feel about this combination?
Sorry I didn’t get a chance to take photos of the bedroom art wall for today as I had hoped. I swear I’m working on it though(!)

What Do Your Color Choices Say About You?
Thanks to Danika, I found this color test and thought the results were uncannily accurate. It said:
“Craves change and new things, always looking for new adventures and activities. Becomes restless and frustrated when she has to wait to long for things to develop. Her impatience leads to irritability and a desire to move on to [...]
Introducing Orange Crush!
One of the first bloggers I “met” when I began blogging was Christina, whom I’m sure you all know from her fabulous blog Down and Out Chic. We started blogging around the same time and it was clear from the start that we had a lot of things in common.
One thing we share is a [...]
Gray And White Rooms
On the heels of Friday’s post, I’m really loving gray with white right now.
It seems to work well in any setting.
I used to associate gray with fall and winter as in gray flannel and wool.
But I’m realizing that it doesn’t have to be heavy.
And when it’s paired with white, the effect is actually quite light.
I [...]
Gray May Be My New White
I’m a white wall devotee but I can’t get all the gray walls I’m seeing lately out of my mind.
Is it just me or is everyone really into gray right now? See what everyone else is into today at Julia’s weekly blog party.
Today’s also the end of my week as a visiting blogger week ofifteen. Head over today [...]
Yellow & Black
So let’s see, we’ve covered yellow, yellow & gray, yellow, gray & red, yellow & blue so I think it’s time for the classic combination of yellow and black. Jessica pretty much has this covered but I just wanted to add these to the mix.
Aside from the color scheme, how fantastic is this space:
(Photo:1. Elle Interior [...]
Benjamin Noriega Ortiz
I realized the other day that I hadn’t written a post about Benjamin Noriega Ortiz and I couldn’t believe it because I kind of think of him as the king of white rooms – and you know how much I love a white room. This all white house in the Hamptons is my favorite of [...]
The Haymarket Hotel
It’s been what? Weeks since I posted a yellow room? Well I can’t hold back any longer. I give you the Haymarket Hotel in London:
No, I’m not going to London any time soon but it’s just always on my radar because I fantasize about that being my next international move. At some point, you know. [...]
More Black & White Stripes
Somehow black and white seems to have become the theme this week. So, what’s better than black and white stripes? How about black & white stripes on my favorite furniture? Here my beloved tulip chairs are made even more fantastic – if that’s even possible – with black and white stripes.
And I have been crazy [...]
Just One More Yellow And Blue Room
I just have to add this to yesterday’s post. I love this room. That’s all. Okay, I’m really done now.

Yellow, Gray And Turquoise/Blue
Yesterday I asked what’s next for my yellow and gray obsession? The answer, it seems, is yellow, gray and turquoise! Or any shade of blue, really.
Okay, I think I’m done with the yellow and gray thing for the time being. Maybe.

Yellow, Gray And Red
My previously discussed love of yellow led to a love of yellow and gray and it seems that that has now led to a love of yellow and gray with a pop of red. Will this obsession ever end? We have an antique iron bed in the guest room that is a rust/brick red color. This photo makes me want to paint it [...]
I Want White Floors
So most of you know how much I adore white interiors. One of the things that I’ve always loved but never thought I could have were white floors. On the ground level we have concrete floors and I love them and don’t want to muck around with them. But upstairs, we have wooden floors and [...]
