~A Neutral Palette~


There is something very soothing about a neutral palette to me.  White walls are a perfect background for weathered wood furnishings and architectural pieces in the breakfast nook of our kitchen.  To see the other side of my kitchen you can go HERE.  Enjoy!  xoxo K.

 My white camellia bush erupted with blooms this past week so I have been enjoying some in the house and I always love the contrast of white with the dark green foliage.   

 I like to add softer touches as well with pillows on the window seat, cafe curtains, a crystal chandelier and ironstone throughout this area. 

 French baskets are great for storing extra linens, mail or all the paperwork the kids are always bringing home and this wood screened primitive cupboard is the perfect size for some of my ironstone pitcher collection.   

 More architectural details are added to this wall with my favorite primitive white cupboard by placing two old columns on either side.  
A huge weathered header helps separate the two rooms by hanging above this counter.

 Please join me at the end of this week where I will be joining a few ladies for a new monthly series that I'm really excited about.

 Have a great week!

  8. It's really is a restful, and still interesting, room you have created. Lots of texture does a great job of replacing colour for visual interest here.
