Albourne...

I love the rich tone-on-tone layers throughout this gorgeous home located in West Sussex!
Soft pastels with black are used as accent colors, but notice how the black is not overpowering and it grounds some of the rooms perfectly.  Homes like these withstand the test of time trend wise: 





































Some of the rooms in this house remind me of the movie Practical Magic!
In the butler's pantry notice the black floor to ceiling cabinets coupled with the vintage butcher's table... so Practical Magic... don't you think?!

  2. A wonderful home. I enjoy the bedroom very much. The use of grey tones can become depressing over time, however, especially in cold winter months.

  3. I am LOVING this house. The floors, the butlers pantry, the bench by the stairs! So much simplistic beauty.

  4. I love it! My eye was consistently drawn to the floors. I love the contrast created by a glittery chandelier and a beautiful rustic wood floor or piece of furniture.

  7. oh, we're not far from this place - and i think the era might be similar, our floors and beams - this is like the grand cousin to our old cottage. i love it, my goodness, so much. the warm greys are stunning, and everything very subdued, beautiful. x

  8. Such a beautiful find. Those brackets on the shelves in the pantry area are pure genius.
