Cozy...

Well it's that time of year again where all I want to do is sit in front of the fire with hot cocoa.
I love these soothing, cozy rooms - they encourage one to have a clear mind while de-cluttering the senses.

I love these color combinations: nautical whites, chalk, ice blue, silver birch, stainless steel, chrome, gunmetal, gustavian gray, black truffle, gray ash and pewter colors.  They compliment the monochromatic perfectly.

"Monochromatic is the easiest scheme to achieve as it is based on one color, which is adjusted by adding white to lighten or black to darken, producing a tint or shade respectively."
-David Oliver, The Paint Library


I hope you're all having a wonderful week!

A Charming Grey Cottage

I absolutely love this charming home!  
All the colors are soothing and peaceful!  The white walls lend the perfect canvas for the subtle hints of grey... sigh.














They say when you paint a room white, you have the perfect canvas for anything!

"White is not a mere absence of color, it is a shining and affirmative thing: as fierce as red, as definite as black."
-G.K. Chesterton, English philosopher

Hope you are all having a wonderful New Year!
