When Your Heart Skips a Beat.....

We are in the middle of a complete redo of our downstairs.  We recently painted the entire bottom level and I was so torn between a light and airy space above or a moody grey like this:

We decided in the end to go the grey route.  I just love how it works with the natural wood.  The problem is now all our accessories need to be re-worked or replaced....ahhh, off to pinterest for ideas!

Hope you are having a great week...

Indigo

A lovely shade for fall don't you think?  A litte moody, a little mysterious, but plays well with others...Somewhere between a navy and royal, there are many, many variations of this beautiful color....

Indigo is a color named after the blue dye derived from the plant Indigofera tinctoria  and it was Isaac Newton who first introduced indigo as a spectral color. In the mid-1660s, Newton bought a pair of prisms at a fair near Cambridge.  He experimented by shining a narrow beam of light through the prism thus producing a rainbow-like band of colors, indigo or "blew" being one of them.

Mismatched Finishes

(image via)

Happy Friday everyone....I hope everyone has a very relaxing weekend. I loved the deliberately mismatched finishes on these pieces, somehow they all seem to work together beautifully and achieve that "not trying too hard" style. So inspiring....

live well!
