NEUTRAL GROUND..



I thought I'd begin this post with the latest Kelly Wearstler publication; her new beach home. Her home is not for the faint of heart!

The bits and pieces of Kelly's work that I've seen lately have been fairly neutral color stories.
The key to a successful neutral interior is to layer on the texture, and subtleties of color. Also, always add a touch of color contrast for depth. I tend to use more color in my work, but what I love about neutral rooms is their calming quality.

and for the more classically inspired....








Martha Stewart often uses a natural color combinations {Turkey Hill}




Darryl Carter's work is usually neutral

Feeling Fall. Ina's new digs

Okay, so I just received House Beautiful's November 2008 issue.
At a glance it looks great, it's def. coming to Vermont with me
this weekend!!! Here's a peek .....

If I ever have the opportunity to design + build my own home,
the architectural details would be inspired by a typical "New England"
barn. The interior would have a bit more color, glamour and
pattern then Ina Garten's but non-the less....Her new home is amazing!!

Natural Chic

My design style/tastes are sort of all over the board. When it comes to design concepts and your home, it's tough to settle on one genre..and we don't have to, that's what makes design so fun!
I love color, a shot of glamour, Hollywood Regency...My list could go on and on...
but there is something about a clean, neutral space, full of an array of textiles and subtle tones that is very appealing....peaceful really.
Here is a sampling of some beautiful, "naturally chic" rooms.
