For some reason, this past week, I've found myself walking around the house removing color from some of the rooms.
Out went the aqua and pink
and in went soft gray, brown, neutrals, and of course - more white.
Maybe those pretty pastel colors represent spring and summer to me.
Maybe it's my way of bringing autumn inside for the season.
Or maybe it's because we're losing 20 minutes of daylight this next week here in Michigan.
Ugh!
I feel a desperate need to keep the brightness throughout my home during the long, cold, dark days ahead.
Hubby brought this sweet French inspired lamp home to me from a summer garage sale he stopped at. It was a $3 bargain.
I think he's learning to have the eye for sweet treasures!
It was originally painted with flowers and had gold handles and base.
A couple coats of Heirloom White brought out it's sweet, curvy lines.
The Hanson scale in the kitchen was brought up from the bottom shelf of the buffet table and placed on top.
The little aqua lantern that hung here in my loo all summer was replaced by an IKEA pitcher...
...and the seashells in a old wooden bowl will stay throughout the season, garnished with a twig of white berries perhaps.
This beautiful vintage paper box was nabbed at the last antique market I went to in September.
It sits on top of an antique blanket chest that came home with us from an antique shop along the coast in Kennebunkport, Maine while attending a friend's wedding there many years ago.
I'm loving the warmth of the dark wood against the white linen duvet cover...
You will not find any bright crayon colors here at Heaven's Walk.
Even when decorating for Christmas, white will remain, with only silver and pale green being introduced into the decor.
"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
