GREY INTERIORS

Good day everybody and happy Sunday to you all!!  Hope your weekend was all you could hope for and then some.
Bright Living Room With Yellow Curtains
 
 We started the weekend off with the most perfect weather day here in Atlanta.  Let me set the stage for you...70 degree weather, blue skies, sunshine, and breezy......wouldn't, couldn't complain because the weather was in deed P-E-R-F-E-C-T.  I guess all good things must come to an end because the freshness of yesterday's past has been completely transformed into skies of grey of today.  Determined not to let the change of the weather dampened the mood, I found sunshine in the above photo.

Although, I have no design elements within my home that the represents the color yellow,  I was inspired by the photo above which ultimately led me to the collection below.

The photo represents a well balanced room.  The yellow wallpaper and curtains create the perfect backdrop.  The grey sofa and abstract rug anchors the space, while the oversized photography ties to the two worlds together and prevent the walls from looking too busy.  I love it!

Opposite from the above picture, the photo below creates a warm grey setting with a punch of yellow in the window dressings and the dining room chairs.  (The chandelier is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G).

CORAL INTERIORS

Happy, Happy Thursday Everybody!!!!

Can you tell I am R-E-A-D-Y for the weekend?  No real plans other than NOT to work the 9 to 5.

I was going through some old photos that I had saved some years ago and came across a color inspiration that made me smile.  It's certainly not my go to color, but I can certainly appreciate its cool and bold effect.   As you can see, coral is a diverse color that marries well with black and white, chocolate, formal, informal, and dining spaces.

The below photo is my favorite.  The coral walls is the perfect backdrop for dark sofa and pattern mix.  PERFECTION at its best.

Warm Kitchens + Cozy Living Rooms = Soulful Sundays

I hope each of you are having a splendid Sunday and your overall weekend was OUTSTANDING!

Sundays are one of my favorite days of the week.  You see in our home, Sundays are spent leisurely,  relaxing the day away with slight preparation/organization for the upcoming work/school week. We generally consume LARGE home cooked meals with multi courses that can last for a few days. I enjoy this time I am able to share with my loved ones...its like food for the soul; better yet, soul food... without the calories.

Since Sundays = Large meals in the KITCHEN + lounging in the LIVING ROOM, I decided to share some photos of my favorite kitchen and living rooms that not only inspire me but are soulful in design.

I love the overall color scheme of the first photo.  Mixing cabinetry finishes is a great way to modernize and add character to a space. 
 
 

A large island is a must....especially if its a piece of furniture!!!!  I love how the white modern cabinets marry with the traditional cherry furniture.  The below look is timeless.
