Yup. And I’m being slow about it, too. I caught heck from myself for not posting in December and now it’s the end of January. It’s much easier for me to design than write and so design I do. And then remind myself to write and say oh, yeah, later today and then later today […]

Neutrals will take you where you want to go
Neutrals can take you just about anywhere you want to go… at home, that is.

Designing a Neutral Entry with Pattern and Contrast
It’s the last day of the month and the post I intended for October is not done, so I offer a design instead, in my current theme of neutrals. You might have seen this board earlier on Instagram. The point is, of course, neutrals and I conceived this as the entry to a cozy midwestern […]

Try a Little Greige
Hi Friends and Welcome back! Today I have something a little different to show you. We’ve all seen contemporary interiors designed in neutrals, some of them very beautifully, and I was intrigued by the idea of designing one myself. I usually prefer some pattern or color in a room but the challenge of designing […]
