louisa grey

so for this week's IDES project, we need to find different fireplaces and then diagram them to show the flue, damper, firebox, and hearth. and as i was searching for photos of different fireplaces, came across louisa grey. the muted colors just accentuate her pops of color! it seems so incredibly thoughtful.

i am a huge advocate for food network shows! my absolute favorite would be barefoot contessa...ina garten. and though i'm not nearly as talented as her, her cooking & baking totally inspires and teaches me everytime i watch her show. there's something so elegant yet simple about her! and as soon as i found this interview i knew there was an underlying reason i enjoyed watching her show. =)

Another website i LOVE is design*sponge - they will post do-it-yourself projects that readers send them...and with all these posts, I've been able to train my eye to look at pieces of furniture in new ways. One of the chairs that is SO me. =)

i love her simplicity and the neutrality in her design. i will often post "white on white" because i love the clean lines and...overall cleanliness.
