Soothing Blues

I love white walls but lately I find myself more and more drawn to colour. Love this image from here.

Yellow Kitchen Love

My girlfriend is looking to put splashes of yellow into their kitchen and I instantly remembered these photos which have a fairly neutral white kitchen and then that amazing yellow stove which sets the mood for the paintings. Love such bold use of colour.

Colour Me Happy

I love a colourful door, it is like a little shot of happiness greeting when you get home. I do however have a black door with chunky gold trims which I also love but do look forward to one day having the right house to pull off this look.

Tori Mellott's Apartment

I loved seeing Tori Mellott's, DominoMag's Decoration Editor, apartment some years ago in DominoMag so when I read that she had redecorated I was thrilled to see the results. She lives in a 450 sq-foot apartment in Manhattan, our Manhattan apartment wasn't much bigger so I know how difficult it can be to keep it clutter free. She has amazing taste and brings together interesting pieces to create a unique look. Her new style is much more sophisticated just like she seems to be. The photo above is the before shot.

The stripes are beautiful and much more refined.
I love the splashes of colour in the kitchen. I am a white kitchen person but do have dreams of going a little wild in there but personally I always go back to white.
