Taking a little break, I have had time to go through some of the books I’ve bought that I haven’t had time to read yet (or at least look at the pictures). I am so loving Atlanta Bartlett’s Pale & Interesting. I think she is my favorite. No one else encapsulates everything that I love about design: white, wood, light, sparkle, textiles, simplicity.
These pictures are from my phone, so to see the pages in all their glory you’ll need to buy it!
The under-shelving lights add so much character….not to mention the blue range. In love!
So much so that I think I want this in our next home–the AGA range in pistachio.
a gorgeous & simple bathroom:
Look at the shelf that she has filled with books overhead. Great storage idea…and adds so much personality!
And I know it is hard to see, but the backsplash behind the cooktop is a sheet of ice green glass. She is such the master of mixing materials.
and not afraid of toile.
And I am definitely painting my next clawfoot tub. Not kidding–I love this!
This simple vanity is packed with style: wall mount faucet, modern sink, old console.
I bet people call her shabby chic–but I wouldn’t. I think she is so much more than that! Sometimes people may call me shabby–but I really don’t think I am either (our bedroom below):
Well, I guess you can call it whatever you want….but her use of white, old & worn materials and soft fabrics just speak to me. If you love it, too, this book won’t disappoint.
Still, my favorite of hers is Easy Elegance. A little edgier.
Thanks for all of your kind words as I shift more into decorating and less of blogging. You are the best.
