Blue and white

I think blue and white can make a room.  I have friends that have put their pieces away, but I still love them in my house.  These groupings really make a statement!

Oh Charles, I know you love these, too.

                These rooms are done by Cathy Kincaid, a designer in Dallas.  I love monograms.....

I want to curl up in this room and read a book, by myself!

I love blue and white, anything

Chairs in pairs

Here are some pics of my "pairs of chairs"

My walls in this room are now painted a Pratt and Lambert London Fog (a medium gray).  I think it adds a lot of richness to the room.

My walls in this room have always been white, and I like the crispness of the room with the dark hardwood floors.

I wonder who designed this room?  Could it be "Charles"?

I'm thinking gray.....

As usual, I find myself dreaming about a new kitchen.  I've been known to change my mind constantly, when thinking about the things I will do, but I have been pretty consistent lately, on my wish for gray cabinets.  My only issue right now is, what shade of gray.  I'm sure in the past I thought gray was gray, but oh no, not true!  Do I want a green gray, a taupe gray, or even a purple gray?  One of my favorite kitchens du jour, is a design by Sally Wheat, it's her own personal kitchen.  The cabinets are painted Benjamin Moore's fieldstone, and I do think they are fabulous. Of course, the carrera marble helps, and the white subway tile, seals the deal!  Take a look at several kitchens, in many shades of gray:

Love the cowhead!

Martha Stewart's kitchen

I do keep asking myself, "would charles approve of a gray kitchen.....hmmm......
