Look at this stunning little piece of Brooklyn I spotted while catching up on things at the NY Times. I love the soft colours, vintage goodness and quirky collections.
Some homes just exude calm and quiet don't you think, and to me this place screams it. I think it's the cream and grey that is used throughout. The detail doesn't come from shots of colour, but from texture and sparkle.
It's not a look that's likely to ever be achieved around this house, maybe that's why I admire it so much!
Some homes make it super easy to decorate don't they. I mean, case in point above. The architectural details of this home are just screaming for this type of style. Perfect treatment of such a gorgeous building.
Good doses of grey, marble and some classic furniture choices added in too - it all adds up to a perfect fit out in my opinion.
A little grey, white and vintage always works doesn't it. Such a sweet space and a great collection of vintage paintings.
I think I need a dressing table like the one in this place. Fancy that, sitting a table, being a lady, applying perfume from a spritzer and generally glamming up.
What a seriously spectacular collection right?! Amazing display that demonstrates to me that less is not always greater than more.
The simplicity and the uniformity helps to make this overblown display not appear overbearing or ''too much''. In a quietly classic home I really like that there is this element of over the top.
Gorgeous soft greys, they can never be overwhelming can they. Some colours, if applied the length and breadth of a home, can be overpowering. But not grey.
Mixed as it is here with some cool industrial pieces, some french chic and amazing architectural antiques...it is anything but too much.
