Some beautiful grey on this rainy day. Spring should be near but seems miles away. I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend. Happy Monday! PS: I’m loving the tiles in the first and in the last image.

I have to deal with a lot of things at the moment (practically and emotionally) and I am also a bit under the weather. Whenever things are hectic I prefer calm colors even more than I normally do, hence this post in neutral tones. I do like different shades of whites, creams and grays combined together for a calm and elegant atmosphere. But if this is a bit to boring for you, you can also use these neutrals as a backdrop for brighter colored accessories and furniture pieces which will then become focal points.

Today I am stepping out of my comfort zone as red is definitely not my color of choice but perhaps it is yours. I have to admit that these images might tempt me to add a hint of red to my home..

Denim has never been out of style but lately I have been seeing more denim than ever. Especially denim on denim (as in the image above) is the trend right now.

Today I have selected some lovely dining areas. My favorite is the image below. That rustic wooden table is simply gorgeous and I love the contrast with the Eames chairs and the Arco floor lamp.

Last Friday, one year after my mother died, my father passed away. I am in complete shock, losing both my parents in one year is just too much to comprehend. I will continue blogging as I much need the distraction, but it might not be as frequent as normal. Take care and hug your loved ones.

With Spring in sight we will be spending more time outdoors. Time to start thinking about decorating your outdoor areas! Today some outdoor inspiration in blue. Blue is a great color to use outdoors, it is fresh and it a beach house vibe to it.
