The boy and I have been talking about moving this summer, and the very idea has me dreaming of new decor for our living room… This room just found itself in first place for inspiration. I know what some of you are thinking… this is on the verge of boring. But, actually, it’s just ripe [...]
Apologies for the delayed room today! I thought I had the post all scheduled to go, but it never went. However, I do believe that this one was very worth the wait!When I initially started collecting inspiration for my bedroom last summer, I was convinced I wanted to do shades of grey and coral… what [...]
This week’s room is going to be a little special… not because it’s ultra fabulous or extraordinary, but because it’s mine… all mine!Well, let me rephrase that.. it’s ours. Me and the boy’s. We started with beige walls and a mattress on the floor and made it this! A peaceful little haven (especially compared to [...]

Anonymous great, great room!
Anonymous This is the loveliest room, ever.
Anonymous Follow up for the ladies who've asked… the paint color is Valspar Lava Stone, the gold piece above the window is a four-leaf clover, I used a simple spray paint for the knobs in 'brass' (much better than gold), the lamps are pier1, and the 'for like ever' poster in gold (yes, gold!) and cream was a limited edition run that they did years ago… I don't believe it's available anymore. Thank you all for your wonderful comments!!
Anonymous I also love that paint color – tried to get that exact look years ago and ended up with a periwinkle! Dig that lamp on the dresser as well. Lovely room, nice work.
Anonymous Cass this is amazing! You did SUCH a great job. It's so serene and complete. I love that ikea dresser with brass knobs. All that white against the grey is perfect. The lamps are adorable, too. And the four leaf clover is the perfect detail touch.
I'm really really impressed, but not surprised because after all it's YOU!
Have a great weekend!
xo,

Anonymous fantastic room. i'm not really into pink, but this pale pink is working well.

Anonymous I love stripes! I’m actually painting some stripes on my dining room wall on friday.
Anonymous I want to find some upholstery fabric that is chunky grey and white stripes. If you find some, let me know! I know Eddie Ross has a tutorial on making some… but I want it to recover a sofa, so I would like it to be really durable. These pictures fan my flame! Love them!
Anonymous Great rooms! Love the striped wall.
Anonymous That’s such a great point! I love stripes in clothing and accents, but I’ve always found a wall of stripes overwhelming. Not so with the grey stripes! I love that Domino wall!
Anonymous fun, the curtains I’m getting made for my bedroom windows are striped. Do you think upholstering my headboard with the same fabric might be too much (the fabric is a neutral linen and the stripes are tiny).
Anonymous less is more: i will dig up some ideas if i can!
fancy: i don’t think it would be too much at all! while i don’t tend to go too matchy matchy, with small stripes i think it would be lovely.
Anonymous I am really loving grey these days.
I just painted a floor in Benjamin Moore’s Sidewalk grey. I really like the outcome, but I think it would have looked AMAZING if we had done it in a stripe pattern.
Anonymous Grey has taken over my usually colorful mind’s eye.. it’s the most interesting neutral as far as I’m concerned. Thanks for the inspiration!

Anonymous I love grey, period. Add in these stripes and I’m hooked!
Anonymous i have white walls with silver stripes in my living room – love it!
Anonymous Adore the cream and grey pillows (large stripes and narrow stripes). Also, the duvet. Grey is a wonderful neutral color and goes well with most other accent colors (that is if in the correct nuances of shades/tints and etc.)

BEAUTIFUL! How much do you want to cuddle up with those throw pillows. This space is the perfect balance of comfort and sophistication.
Love it!
This is truly a gorgeous room, what I wouldn't give for those giant glamorous french doors! They are amazing
Now that's a room I can see myself living in. What a fabulous coffee table—droooool. Love the feature wall colour too. Love it all.
I so agree with you…really random selection of furniture but it works really really well. I too question that light fixture over stove top … but am so in love with that soft blue under the sheet of plexiglass.
Nice post!
Beautiful space! I so badly wish I could peak behind the glass wall and see the hidden part of the space. Perhaps the home for all the cabinets/kitchen stuff that doesn't look quite so pretty? Or maybe an office area? Dying to know! Marija
Love that fabulous pop of aqua!
Soooo worth the wait!
Fantastic light streaming thru those windows! Love the back splash in the kitchen for a pop of color. All the wood accents, the few pops of color and great textures, make this white room warm and cozy.
Great find!!
Northern Light
So breezy and gorgeous! I can picture myself lazying on those sofas…
LOVE the huge French doors & how all the light flows through
stunning room…i do like those chess pieces…gives the space even more character
.
The aqua in the kitchen is awesome…any idea what it is? Lacquer or frosted glass maybe?
I think the "lamp" in the kitchen might actually be an extractor fan. If so I think that they are making some really lovely fans these days. If it is just a lamp then I think it looks a little odd.
I didn't even notice that was a kitchen in the first photo! So cool.
in my inspiration file for my bedroom. thank you. and thank you.
aaaaah – love the colors !!
Oh, this room is absolutely worth the wait! I could move right in. How gorgeous.
I absolutely LOVE the color scheme and that huge mirror is a fabulous focal point. I'm not crazy about the touches of warm-colored wood, i.e. the two occasional chairs, the wooden table, the chess pieces. Maybe its just not quite the right finish or something… But overall, an inspiring image!
Oooh I love it!! Makes me want to curl up with a book and relax.
wow this room is absolutely gorgeous! looove those pillows and that pop of acqua!
I absolutely love this room ! Thanks for posting
Wow, gorgeous!!!
Gorgeous room! Although I can't really focus on any of it because I'm so smitten by those french doors!!
loving like 80% of the room, especially those throw pillows and the chess pieces! the grey/coral ottomans are kinda throwing me off though…I would have done them in a matching fabric, or maybe just one corla-upholstered bench?
