Peaceful Monday

Truthfully... I could have stayed in bed today!

And had my bedroom been this light and dreamy, well, then it would have been even harder to resist :) Notice all the different textures! An all white room need not be boring, and white is not just one shade, but you knew that, right? 

Keeping your clothes out on display could be a good idea, but it does require a certain restraint and organization!! I can tell you this from experience.... my clothes rack looks nothing like this.

I have always been a sucker for a checkerboard kitchen floor, and this is no exception!
In fact, I think I like it even more in this color way, very soft!

Nothing really matches, and that's part of the charm, I think....
Tolix chairs are an all time favorite, I would love to own a few!

The only spot in the house with a pop of "real" color. So easy to change the pillow covers and other accessories, depending on mood and season. Did you notice the subtle wallpaper? White on white done right!!

Hope you have a lovely week ahead of you!

Quiet Monday moment.

I have no intention of writing a lot during this post, just wanted to share a few light filled rooms with you! Very Scandinavian mixed with French, lots of natural light and interesting objects making the whole house come together beautifully...

A little different than what I typically post, I know, hope you enjoy the slightly tattered look for a change :)

How pretty is this little, old mirror? LOVE the delicately edged flowers and the antique look, it is from Belgium....

Cafe au lait?

How about this collection of Cafe Au Lait Bows? How fantastic!! I know someone - Hi P - who also likes vintage bowls like these, though the collection is not this extensive.... yet!
This image makes me so happy!! The wonderfully colored bowls, in order by color, the yellow shade, fun carpet and bright yellow Tolix stool, tons of good light in the kitchen, what more could you ask for?  .... oh, perhaps someone to make the Cafe au lait??  ;)

Probably many of you have seen this image before, BUT I felt a need to share it again (not that I have re-posted an image here on NL, God forbid!!)....

Have a cup of cafe au lait today, I'm drinking mine "as we speak".

Chocolate Tolix

A little while back (here), I was telling you about this seemingly fantastic shop I was dying to visit, only it was closed the first two times I passed it....

Well, I was finally able to visit, on my very last vacation day, and it was SOOOO worth my while! I will be writing a post at a later date, about this FAN.TAS.TIC shop, for now just a teaser image :)

How great are those dark chocolate covered painted Tolix Chairs?
Designed in the 1930's by Xavier Pauchard, the Morais A Chair is produced by the French company Tolix. If you want a new, glossy chair they can be had via Pottery Barn, DWR, The Conran Shop and so many others....

I totally love these worn, slightly rusty, "soft" velvety rich chocolate ones!!
