On Color, Light and Good Design

We've chosen lighting fixtures that enhance the wonderful natural light of the house. The hanging pendant light in the kitchen is simple and beautiful and is paired with an Edison antique bulb that gives off a warm glow. Light makes all the difference on the wall colors as well...the upstairs is all a single color...Benjamin Moore's Glacier Sky but you can see how different it looks in the hallway (middle photo) versus in the bathroom. Downstairs color choices run from Wickham Gray in the middle living room (at the suggestion of my friend Megan who has perfect pitch when it comes to color, click here to see her interior design company) to a robin's egg blue called Woodlawn Blue in the far living room. For the north facing kitchen, the walls and ceilings need to reflect every ounce of light possible so we chose a color called Marilyn's Dress which is very pale but has a blue hue to it especially as the light changes with onset of winter.
