Interior of the Day

Via Remodelista

I would feel right at home here- clean and modern yet very livable…I love the lamp and the natural lighting. The built in shelves frame the window on the far wall nicely.

Interior of the Day

This one comes from best friend MB of Widespread Life- I love the texture and weathered elements of this room, the architectural details- love the arched double doors!- the royal blue headboard, and the chandelier… it’s all just so charming.

Black Is The New Black

In the spirit of the darker days of autumn and winter, I picked out some of my favorite ‘dark rooms’ to share. Glamorous and bold, intense, mysterious and sharp… how does black in interiors make you feel?

Exposed Brick

love love love it. Whether in its natural state or painted white, I adore exposed brick interior walls. Because of the brick’s innate masculine qualities, you can go super feminine and soft with furniture and accessories to contrast, or create a more serious environment with hard, clean lines…either way, it works for me.

Loving: Gray Walls

I love gray as much as I love white in interiors. Modern and elegant, a range of moods is easily achieved. From warm to cool, in a variety of shades, tints and tones, the possibilities are literally endless.  Here are a few successful examples of gray walls in interiors that I’ve come across.

BEDROOMS:

Bholu Wallpaper for Porter Paints.

A warm gray, with pretty pink accents.

LIVING ROOMS:

A cool medium tone with a variety of gray accents and lighter carpet- love!

A distressed look on the floor and wall here adds interest.

Loving: Chalkboard Walls….

I find myself  looking  around all the time at home, trying to decide which wall to cover in the soft black paint, imagining the words and the pictures greeting me each day and changing with our moods. I love the way the black and chalk look kind of vintage but compliment very modern spaces.

And I love how lettering looks in general, not to mention the messages the words convey- words that motivate or comfort us, remind us to get the dry cleaning or of an exciting date… all the while weaving in and out of  our doodles and spontaneous art, easily changed and reminding us that nothing lasts forever.

What do you think about a chalkboard painted wall in your home? Maybe your office? Or the local bar or coffee shop? How about outside? I love this example in a park:

Benjamin Moore makes a version of the paint, which can be found here if you are dying to give this a try!
