Put It in Neutral

I am always so impressed when someone manages to pull together a room without any use of color - yet alone an entire house. The living spaces in this home are layered and interesting, with every shade of neutral in the mix. But it doesn't feel boring or stark. The collection of antique accents mixed with more contemporary furniture give the home character and keep the eye interested in the details hidden around the room. For example, did you notice there were two clocks in the kitchen? Or a magic eight ball nestled on a shelf? It's like a fun eye-spy game, with all of the tiny pieces working together to complete the overall, more complex picture.

this makes me want to paint my bleh wood laminate floors so badly!!! Love white floors. Dang you rental.

I love to gaze at neutral spaces. But at the end of the day I like to come home to color. Especially art.

The image of the dining room is sublime. The combo of the white and tan with the wood works perfectly. Love...

Well put together spaces, loads of interest, but I'd still like to see a LITTLE colour ... maybe just a vase of flowers.
