back to basics...



C L A S S I C * S O P H I S T I C A T E D * T I M E L E S S  

It's been quite some time since my last post and
the longer I'm away, the harder it is to get back into the swing of things. So I thought I'd go back to the basics of what my blog is all about...  classic, sophisticated, timeless inspiration.

This image, I believe is just that and more.

This chic space has symmetry, adding a sense of formality along with the crispness of the black and white pillows. We have height from the gorgeous windows and the classic parson style bookshelves. Yet the appeal comes from the mix of using all of these elements together, creating an inviting room of casual elegance.  The addition of the rugged wood statue and the basket and topiary serves to provide even more balance.  Now toss in some books, hydrangeas, the modern, wide-planked, limed oak floor, and just a touch of (very much in vogue) gold hardware and you have the perfect space.

Did I miss anything??

enjoy

  5. It is a beautiful room. And I love the color palette - neutral, but with black pillows on the white sofa. I only wish I could see more!

  9. Great space with a lot of comfort and although somewhat formal it exudes warmth because of the layers of elements.
