FEBRUARY LIGHT...

February may conjure up tones of pink + red for most, but for me it's all about cool winter neutrals and bright natural light...

    I think this nails it ~ all these pictures need is a little snowfall out the windows, and they are February to a tee :)

    This is so pretty! yes! I love neutral, but color is making me feel happier lately. I think it's because we're having a terrible winter here in Canada.

    These rooms are so elegant, though. Great choices!

    Have a great day!

    Gorgeous, clean and fresh, love the stripes without reservation and really need to wake up in this house. I'm sure I would work more, especially around those fabulous french doors.

    Love the striped walls. Such a statement. There's something playful and, in gray and white, sophisticated about them.

    What a fabulous post! I love stripes however I am DYING over all the great windows in these spaces. Quite frankly the widows are what make those spaces look so great.

    Also, in the third picture I cant help but wonder if the statue in the windowsill is Julius Caesar.I wish there was a closeup. (Im a history nerd)

    I love the subtle stripes. I'm in the process of doing a striped foyer and it is such a crisp and tailored look.

    That last image is what really did it for me. then again, maybe its just the rug I'm salivating over!

    i love the stripes. In college we painted our sorority lounge pink stripes and it was so pretty but I would never do it again (without booze).
