Favorite Room of the Day-Neutral Bedroom

We like colors most of the time, but we like neutral, quiet colors some of the times too.  It's calming, it's serene, and if you are surrounded by colors and patterns all day long like we are, it's a nice respite.

That's why we're liking this room today.  It's a little boring to some people, but aggh, sometime that's just what you need...

Crazy for Fuschia

We like using fuschia as an accent colors quite a bit lately.  It's not as timid as pink, not as loud as yellow, but  dramatic enough to make a splash.

Here are some of our faves:

Hoboken Doors

One of the reasons I love Hoboken is that it's such a great walking town.   What makes it so 'walkable' for me is that every time I'm headed somewhere in town, I see something I hadn't noticed before.   It has a good amount of character, culture, history, revitalization...  all of which makes for an interesting stroll (or maybe a jog if I'm motivated!).  So, as I'm visually inspired on these walks, I get to thinking... "Wouldn't it be great to do a blog post about...?"   Well, here is my first "Hoboken Tour" installment!  Who knows if there will be more, but one can always hope.  We'll call this one...



The Door Tour. 


We'll start with my favorite stoop.  You couldn't ask for a more graceful approach to the front door...




I took these photos on a beautiful day last spring... all in one morning.  By no means did I get all the lovely entry doors of Hoboken documented here.  This is just a smattering... more a consequence of which turns I decided to take that day.   The photos are also in no particular order... I hadn't the patience to figure it out.  


Here's Sobsey's, our gourmet grocer, with its delightful corner door.  Remember when it used to be a custom bridal boutique?    




A charming entry porch, quite unique for Hoboken...  








Lots of black doors in this town.  Can't really go wrong with black...




Ah, but these soft ivory doors against the red brick are quite nice...




 Or maybe gray...




A magnificent pediment looms over these graceful arched doors with horizontal muntins... feels French to me.  I like the natural wood door coupled with the robin egg blue windows...




 Another set of natural wood doors with ornate ironwork...




I thought this recessed entry had a nice composition with the interior paneling and off center door.





The flat facade on this newly renovated row house is dressed up with matching glossy black doors with simple overhead sconces.  The glass is high with tall bottom panels... brings in light but still provides privacy.





This pendant lantern over the door adds to the stately symmetry of this entry.  And the detailed panels and arched glass add to the grandeur.





The rope and dental molding on these doors give a refined quality...





Nice and easy stoop leads to a nice and easy entry door...





Here's the one Federal style entry I found with its six panel door and webbed glass transom detail.  The flag and scooner are a nice touch too.  




As I said, these are just a few of the many wonderful entry doors I pass each day in Hoboken.  So if there is a door you love that's not pictured here, send me a comment and maybe it will show up in... The Door Tour: Part II!

Model: In a general way, the model is generally represented in terms of modern, contemporary, transitory, traditional, or eclectic.

The continuation of a coherent model in a room could draw up a strong report/ratio about this particular model. But in addition, the amalgamation of the models can bring an interesting complexity to a room. Select on a model and a topic early in work conceiving so that you have an accentuated hearth.

Balance: If furnishing is bombastic and massive or minor and small, the whole unit should seem proportional, harmonious, and balanced. Typically, large large furnishing should have accents and accessories of bluff. If a room is small, really with boastfulness furnishing can return one to seem of part smaller. Nevertheless, two or three greater pieces are better than the many ones plus small pieces. Reciprocally, small furnishing can become lost in a big room, particularly one with the high ceilings.
