Transformation..(part 3)

My dear readers, I had the pleasure of walking into this great home a few weeks ago with great bones but in serious need of a transformation, a renewal and a day at the spa! I broke it up into sections. The floors are blond and the walls cream. Why would you want to live sandwiched in those tones?... Here is Elle's last contribution to the main floor:

Kitchen:

Dining Room

(1stDibs contemporary rug, Polyresin Oly Studio vases, Hudson wood hutch-Barlas baylar, light ficture Barlas Baylar, dining room table and chairs-Oly Studio)

Sitting room

(Asian brass & frosted glass floor lamp, 50's, 1stDibs, cowhide, artwork Cecil Touchon)

Entrance:

(Rug, Chinese Deco rug from 1st Dibs, Artwork (Portrait Of 'solskin' By Danish Painter Carl Meyer,denmark 1910), carved stone console (1st Dibs), light fixture 70's acrylic with brass)

Via Design by Delight

I invite you to visit your local reuse center after you are done spring cleaning your home. Its a great way to recycle, and give back to the community. While you are there, check out the shelves and spray paint to give your new finds a fresh look for spring. We have been plagued by a long and dreary winter, so colours are in order! You can revamp your nightstand, spray paint flower stands (so you can use it as a stand for artwork), spray paint chairs, mirrors etc... The choice is endless! 

Enjoy:)

Shots of gold

Good morning readers! This post is dedicated to the influence of gold in interiors. As you know, gold has a metallic colour, and gold is yellow. I much prefer it to silver, I find that it has much more warmth to it, and it has an unexpected look to it. The one I stay away from is polished brass which can be seen as too "granny" and "tacky" bu most people. One of my project now is a master bedroom with a strong reference to golds, yellows and dark yellows. I am bringing in a few accent notes such as a violet and a touch of mauve to break it all up. When you look at a colourwheel, it is the complimentary colour of yellows.Gold metals marries very well with everything and adds that extra dimension that is considered a reflective surface. Personally, i'm not crazy about mixing metals, I find it too jarring and it looks too much like we are trying to move into the next "phase" of metal working in interiors. So, I pass!
