Live Large in Small Spaces

 
                                      High Ceilings  &  A Wall of Windows gives Energy to the Room


One of my most favorite places to explore, shop, dream is Ikea.  My very first visit to their store in Charlotte found me hanging outside the display of their 600-800 square foot spaces that would offer you everything you would need to exist in a tiny apartment anywhere.  I could have moved right in this sweet cocoon of a space. Can you spot the kitty cat?

 


Bet Your Dreams will be Sweet Here .  



 
Tiny little bathroom has nice storage.  Love Baskets for all the Extras!
 
 
 
 
 A Small Kitchen with Style & Living Large!
 
 
 
 
 
In small spaces furniture will serve multiple purposes.  A Daybed serves as seating by day and sleeping space by night.  Perhaps a farm table will be your desk, then become
your dining table in the evening.

Whatever, the space, whatever your style.  Little spaces can be Welcoming, Light & Airy
and a beautiful nest to come home to.

Let's Talk White Rooms!

 
I have always been in love with "white rooms".  There is something about
entering an all white room that speaks to me instantly about freshness, crispness,
and a sense of peacefulness.
 
If upon an  indebt look at an "all white" room you will soon realize,
it is anything but.
 
 
 
An easy task . . . purchase everything white, and place it in your room.  It takes
a little more thought than that.  Let's explore the steps in getting that fresh
"white" room.
 
 
 
 
Decide where you "will not" use white. Perhaps you have natural hardwood floors or a sisal rug, furniture with exposed wood.  Then decide where the white "will be".  More than likely it will be in the upholstery, pillows, drapery, bedding or accessories.
 
Secret Ingredient:  . . . add a few "non-white" colors to mix.  In bedroom picture, note
the beautiful softs hues of gray and blue.
 
In each of the rooms featured, you will still feel as if you have just entered a fresh
white room.
 
One last room  . . .
 
 
 
The Kitchen. . . Can't you picture yourself having breakfast or lunch or
even entertaining in this lovely space?
 
 I have had an  "almost" all white room and raised our three children at the same time.  I had two sofas slip-covered in a white damask fabric. At the end of the summer season, the slip covers would come off and into the washer they would go and back on the sofas. We then down-sized and the sofas went off to two of my children's homes for more years of service, still looking fresh as ever.  If you have ever dreamed of having a white room, but a little scared, go ahead and give it a try!   I did, and to this day -  never regretted it.  In fact, as I sit here
writing this post, I'm just about ready to do it again! . . . . . .
