Grey living...

 Dare I say it has been difficult as of late to find inspiring interior images...  (shh..) I have been overwhelmed by seeing the same images again and again.  No matter how I re arrange them in my head I am not feeling inspired.  It is a problem that stems from my occupation I do believe!  Sometimes I need a little breather to recharge the creative batteries and get started again.  This however is AMAZING // deep contrast // vintage mixed with new // grey // need I say more.

Have a wonderfully creative day!

Grey and light...


This beautifully restored home in New Orleans is right up my alley.  I love the light greys and bright spaces.  Perfection I think..  The doors, the stairs the flooring, what else is there to say really?
Love. Love. Love.

greige shops France...


As our sale draws near I have been going through all of the photos from our trip and falling in love with the pieces that we shopped for while we were in France.  It was a lot of work and I cannot wait to share the primped up version with you in a few days.  We found so many beautiful vintage pieces it is going to be hard to part with them!  This is just a little peek at the treasure.

Thank you again to Sharon at My French Country Home for a wonderful trip!

Reupholstering the Vintage French Chair..


 I am in the process of trying to figure out what I want to do with these little gems that I picked up at the Paris Flea market for myself.  The chairs above are my dreamy dream chairs!  But alas I did not find this style while I was shopping, however, I did find the pair below which I love very much.  So I am having a little delima that I need some help with.  I would love to know what you think- would you add tufting to the chair backs to make them look a little more like the dreamy dream chairs or would you keep them simple and clean as they are traditionally done?
Add a seat cushion?
Beef up the arms?
Welting?

There are so many possibilities...  
While I know I don't want to change them completely I want to add some pizzazz.. I am planning on either vintage linen which we also bought while in France but I have also thought of going for a simple washed linen that I use often... decisions decisions!
