Shifting into Neutral

I am always thinking about my dream home - how I'd love to build the perfect home for my little family and include all the things I daydream about like steel conservatory windows, eastern facing windows, a fireplace, a screened-in porch and a garage.  I like to think that by the time we are able to build our dream home, I might have enough discipline to do an all neutral color scheme.  Ever since I was a little girl and my mom included me in on helping with the decor of my then Waverly Iris purple bedroom, I've dreamed about all white rooms.  So far, my love for color has always won.  

I was feeling creative but wanted to do something for myself instead of always for a project or someone else. I want a big greatroom done in all neutrals and textures.  The kind where I have them just spray every room in Ivory White or Decorator's White once the walls are up.  I'd love to punctuate the lightness with black accents, Celerie Kimble style.  

What style do you see next on your decor roadmap?

Happy Friday people!

  8. I've had the same 'issue' with white. Love it, but always go for color. I also spend much of my free time daydreaming about my perfect house :) Time well spent!

  10. I adore Black and White and as much as I try to change it, except for a small amount of gray, neutral "blue" and gold accents, we live in black and white!

  12. beautiful mood board Bethany! I am shifting into more natural stuff in my home - used to be all glam and glitz, but I guess maturity a.k.a. age, is getting the better of me! :-)
