Loud or Quiet?

Although I am not finished with my dining room, I have begun planning for my entry hall. As I have obsessed about on this blog....it is going to be "All White". Hopefully, something like this

House Beautiful

Minus the incredible Ginger Jars (I don't have those). I do have some colorful Asian doors


 

They should stand out nicely against the semi-gloss white walls that are coming. That leaves the rug. I need one. My question to you is Loud

Do you like a rug that says "notice me"?

Or do you prefer a rug that whispers "notice the room"?

Which would you choose?

This is a beautiful beach house on Nantucket. For me, this is perfection! It is for sale...


It has a wonderful Great-room with v-groove paneling, gorgeous hardwood floors, and a lovely fireplace.


The office has an amazing ceiling treatment


The kitchen is my favorite room! 


Another area for lounging


Custom moldings and trim-work that make my eyes water


An all white foyer....


A perfect pool with stunning views


AND....all this could be yours for the 8.8 MILLION dollars!




OR
YOU
COULD
HAVE
THIS

I am Hooked on Hooked on Houses!








I'm sure the blog, Hooked on Houses is nothing new to any of you....and like most of you, I am hooked!

It is no secret that I have a love for all things Hampton's, and all things Nantucket! In fact, IN MY MIND, my home is the Nantucket beach house....that I will never have. So, naturally, when I saw the commercials for the television show Revenge


...and found out that it takes place in the Hampton's.....I was all in!

Back to Hooked on Houses, I don't know how Julia does it, she manages to have posts on every show or movie I have ever wanted  a closer look at! Here are photo's from her site that are of the television set, Revenge

Hooked on Houses
This is the type (on a MUCH smaller scale) of all white entry I am in love with. I will tackle this over the winter...and I will tell you all about it!

Hooked on Houses
 That's the perfect pool that I am dreaming of! This home could be on any Eastern beach front property, like Martha's Vineyard. If you want to read the entire post on the amazing sets of Revenge, go here.


...and just for fun, because I told you that Julia has EVERY home I could think of.....check out a very old set that is now so chic

Bewitched
It is the living room from Bewitched! I would love that sofa now. I need to warn you, if you visit Hooked on Houses, you will be hooked, too!

All White Foyer

Today, I am working on my "TTD" list. While my sewing machine and I are getting reacquainted, I can't help but think about my foyer. I am sewing in my dining room next to the entrance of my home. There is something about an all white foyer that I find calming. White paneling with a gloss finish.

I love how each piece pops against the white

This feels clean, bright and quiet

This wall treatment reminds me of something I saw on Rambling Renovators. I think I found my next DIY project!
What are you working on?
