Roundup: Curvy, White Table Lamps
Every time I watch Modern Family, I always pay attention to the decor choices used throughout the three families' homes. It's no big surprise that Cameron and Mitchell's home is my favorite, since I featured it the other week.
I really love this curvy, white table lamp that they've placed on the credenza, which you can spot in the right of this photo.
Coveted Crib: Lovely and Light Near London
Sometimes we get so caught up with trendy accessories and of-the-moment palettes that we forget to consider the feel of the homes we're creating. It's no secret that all-white rooms have a relaxing effect. But throw natural materials, well-loved hardwood floors, worn upholstery, and a collection of vintage and antique accessories and furnishings into the mix, and what you have is a home that's not concerned with the latest and greatest, but is simply content as is.
Get the Look: Casa Angelina on the Amalfi Coast
Although I've only recently been introduced to Hotel Casa Angelina, a pristine white oasis on the Amalfi Coast, I've already fallen head over heels in love with the place. Nearly every room is doused in warm white, with the exception of some steel accessories and a natural fiber rug here or there. Rather than appearing sterile or uninspired, it's downright relaxing (even just to look at), and would be the perfect place for a Summer respite.
Get the Look: A Sunroom Bathed in White
Browsing through Swedish shelter magazine Sköna Hem, I caught myself daydreaming about dozing off to a scandalous Philippa Gregory novel in this sun-drenched indoor porch. Everything about the space facilitates a three o'clock siesta. The double doors close off the outside world.
Casa Verde: Paint It White
If you've ever read Robert Fulghum's All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, you know that some of life's most important lessons were learned when we were young. One of them might save the world, sort of. As a kid you learned that light-colored surfaces reflect the sun's rays, while dark surfaces absorb them and warm up.
Coveted Crib: Black and White and Modern All Over
I love too many colors and styles to ever go only black, white, and modern, but I applaud he who has the restraint (and the balls) to do it. I spotted this large Georgian house in Tetbury, a small town in — believe it or not — the Cotswolds, and was blown away. Short of a dab of yellow paint in some artwork and its plush green lawn, the house is all black, white, and gray, and each room is essentially either entirely black or white.
Etsy Find: PJ Designs Coffee Table
Ordering furniture online from an individual seller (eBay, Craigslist, Etsy, etc.) rather than a major retailer is kind of a hassle where shipping is concerned. There aren't necessarily any guarantees, refunds, or other conveniences, and there's certainly no white glove service. But, when you come across a piece like the PJ Designs Coffee Table ($125), which oozes Hollywood Regency style in glossy white paint with a nailhead trim, how can you resist?
Coveted Crib: A Vision in White
A Scandinavian home's clean lines and well-chosen antiques are set against a milky white background, which makes the home's seaside locale the center of interest. In this home office, black furnishings, such as the Arne Jacobsen Egg chair, desk, and built-ins, serve as a bold focal point in contrast with the otherwise white space. To take the full tour of this house, check out this slideshow.
Love It or Hate It? An All White Kitchen
I grew up in an all-bright-white kitchen, so I feel at home in them. There's something about white kitchens that is so fresh and so clean — probably because having one makes dirt more visible. But I love color so much that it's hard to avoid buying colorful things for my own kitchen.
Get the Look: Samantha, a Vision in White
In anticipation of Wednesday night's Sex and the City movie screening, I've been inspired to create some home décor looks based on some of the most scintillating getups worn on the series. Here, Samantha glams up a sorrowful event with her all-white fur and woven hat funereal ensemble.
