FINE DINING

A formal dining room in a home is the perfect excuse to get a little 

dramatic

Drama in the form of furnishings,

lighting

architecture

color

OR ALL OF THE ABOVE

EXPLORING COLOR: TAUPE

Taupe is often mistaken for other shades of brown.  A true taupe has no visible red undertone.  It is a cool brown - leaning a little to the blue or lavender side of brown without the traces of yellow or orange you will find in a warm brown or a chocolate.

It is usually grayed down a little - like a Weimaraner.  In fact as dogs go, Weims are true taupe - even  referred to at times as gray ghosts because of their taupe hues and light eyes

THE COLOR YOU CRAVE: GRAY

Choosing a color you are going to live with for a while is intimidating

Especially facing hundreds of tiny squares of color

at your local paint store

Throw into the mix lighting, undertones and the fact that the color you see on your computer screen can be completely different than the one you bring home...

KITCHEN TRENDS

I'm a little kitchen obsessed right now.

I'm starting my own remodel, and a couple for clients as well...

So, be prepared to drool a little,

(but hopefully not on your keyboard)

and immerse yourself in some truly beautiful kitchens…
