greige and gold...



I know we have all seen this beautiful Parisian apartment by Gilles et Boissier over and over... but when I saw this image in isolation I fell in love all over again!  I love the simple clean lines mixed with the details of the doors, walls and the mirrors.  The dark wood.  The white sofa.  The greige rug.

Love. Love. Love.

contrasts..


I find that contrast is so necessary in a space, it doesn't have to be as obvious as this, which I love, but it can be simple and textural as well.  This combination is beautiful and interesting, the antlers make it for me.

I hope your weekend is full of beautiful days- we are expecting another 80 degree day here in California before it cools again.  If you are visiting us from One Kings Lane- Welcome - we are happy you are here!

Black Paneling



 
I love the impact the black makes in this space, an amazingly clean and simple backdrop for the wood detailing in the furnishings.  Just perfect.  I am also a sucker for hidden doors and the continuation of color onto the floors.  Could you handle the drama of black in your home?

Dark grey and white



The contrast here is so perfect!  I have been leaning towards softer greys as of late and this just brings me back to the dark with a lot of contrast.  The details in the mantel and the door paneling are so perfect.  Sometimes I wish I lived in a home with such history and detail.  But it is not meant to be right now.

Someday maybe.

I am looking forward to the weekend it is supposed to rain a bit here so another few days of relaxation I hope.  I am starting to read Gone with the Wind for the first time and I am hoping it will entertain me for the weekend.  Have you read it?  What did you think?  I know it is a classic and I had to pick it up when I saw it the other day.

Next week I have a lot coming up here on the blog, another giveaway and some great pics to post!

Have a wonderful day!  It is 11/11/11 so cool!!!!

That little something..



I think that every photo or space has that little something.  The something that makes it great.  For this space it is truly the way that the pillow contrasts with the rest of the space.  It is so necessary but at the same time so different from everything going on in there.  I love that little something....

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!  I am having trouble not working.. you know how it is when you feel like you should be doing something constructive but everyone around you is rebelling?  That is how this weekend is going...

Clean lines in the kitchen


I love the x detailing in this otherwise simple kitchen.  
It is just enough to make you realize that it was all done for a reason!


    
Also today is the last day of our sale on One Kings Lane...
