a little peek at Rue & color inspiration

Don't you love white milk glass and woven baskets in an antique locker?

I have only seen the two spaces I'm writing about, and they are so lovely and unique--I can't wait to see the rest.  It will be out soon!

Okay, and Anisa and I LOVED meeting our prospective client yesterday.  You can tell they are a kind and warm family and that is exactly what kind of home they want to create:  a warm one!

Here are some colors we are thinking about....

maybe some deep, smoky gray cabinets in the kitchen  (they say they want this remodel to last them 20 years, so we want to stay away from trends as much as we can)

Down Pipe  Benjamin Moore

I know this blue/gray paint is cool color, but for the ceilings cool will work to elongate the rooms

Palladian Blue   Benjamin Moore

a good teal will be a great accent color (especially for painting the back of some dining room built-ins)

Sea Star    Benjamin Moore

In this mid-century brick ranch you will find the original sunny yellow-tiled bathroom!  It really is groovy and they want to keep it  (the kids love it!)  We think we can make it tie in with the rest of the home.  One way will be to incorporate this sunny and warm color as an accent in the rest of the home.

Golden Honey    Benjamin Moore

But the main inspiration photo she showed us is of a very warm living room with some wonderful and luxurious orange velvet seating.  We think we have to make their dreams come true and bring in some orange!

Corlsbud Canyon    Benjamin Moore

a room quite similar to the one below from My Home Ideas

(And of course you know we encouraged some white!  We are thinking Benjamin Moore's Navajo White for the walls....a bright yet warm cream.

And for your Friday, here is a song I would love to share with you that gets playtime in the Holloway House..the band is called Luna and we really love them.  This song always reminds me of the weekend Chris and I met flying up to New York.....enjoy.   Julie
