Vintage Simplicity...

I have to say - hands down my favorite combinations right now are shimmering tones of metallic finishes such as silver, crystal, steel, zinc and glass combined with a neutral elegance.  
I just love the glow next to the rawness of crusty, chalky white and gray tones.  
This look works perfectly for Scandinavian or French country interiors:

"Metallic finishes will reflect light and bring life to matte surfaces.   I love creating layers of interesting textures and often use steely dark grays and jet black mixed with delicate, dirty off-white to create smart, flattering spaces."  Dominique Kieffer

... So dreamy!

  5. It's a shame you can only get that finish from time it's gorgeous!

    Enjoy your weekend!

  6. and that pink ribbon hanging from the aged key...kill me now. i just put a new finish on my dining room hutch. it looks rustic and chippy, but i also gave it a soap treatment so it is velvety to the touch. not tryin to fool anybody--just needed room for change!
