Black and White...

...and a bit in between.

Do you have this in your collection?

It just went on my wishlist.

Lovely!

P.S. Want to create your own wishlist?

Go {here} to create a universal wishlist (it allows you to add items from any website.)

Once you have the wishlist feature in place, visit the emporium and look for your list to appear on the bottom right of the page. I use it not only as my "wishlist" for gifts I'd like to receive, but just as an organizational tool to keep track of items I like and may buy for myself or the house or gifts for others.

breathing room

These images have been in my design file for quite some time and each time I run across them I find them as fresh and appealing as ever. Every comfort is accounted for, yet restraint is evident in the unadorned plaster walls and the modest number of purely decorative items throughout.

The owner/designer is Jenny Peters and she certainly has captured the essence of the design philosophy I've often mentioned throughout linen & lavender: for a restorative, inspiring living environment we need to have areas we intentionally leave bare. —A rest for the senses...breathing room.

I was putting together today's post and while the image was uploading, my mind wandered. I was lost in thought until I found myself focusing in on a novel here in my bookcase next to my desk..."Venus of Urbino" was looking back at me and seemed to be suggesting this folly here.

It's interesting isn't it? How a single piece of art has the potential to change our entire perceptual experience of a room?

Two novels by Sarah Dunant:

"In The Company of the Courtesan"

Jacket art: Tiziano Vecellio, "Venus of Urbino"

Uffizi, Florence

and "The Birth of Venus"

Jacket art: Raphael, detail of Saint Barbara

from Sistine Madonna 1512

Update: Just received a lovely message

from the designer of this room:
