This morning I am working on the stair in the foyer of our Newton project, as seen in this post. I had always envisioned the foyer as being quite formal until a few minutes ago…
Now I’m reconsidering…
Have a wonderful day!

Sally and I have been asked to help develop the exterior color scheme for our Newton project, so today I took time to poke thru a stack of magazines for inspiration. Found several good ideas…
Nor would I mind lingering over a glass of chilled rose here.
I’m liking the creamy yellow stucco, faded olive green shutters and limestone lintels. The hint of a Juliet balcony at the second floor windows is delightful! The front door has me thinking, too…
More subtle and cooler, yet still friendly. I like these front doors, too.
The most playful for last – with the eggplant shutters and trim. Might be too casual for this house. Maybe I’ll save this combination for when Sally and I repaint our house…
Have a wonderful week!

Sally and I are designing a project in Wellesley managed and built by Landmark Services, who are terrific by the way. The project involves the renovation of the kitchen, powder room and mud room ares on the first floor, the family bath and master bath on the second floor and creating a home office over the garage. We’re in the thick of design development right now, with final decisions being made on all materials, finishes, plumbing fixtures, kitchen appliances, etc. I spoke briefly about the kitchen in this post.
The Master Bath is progressing nicely and I thought I’d share a sketch of the vanity. It’s an “L” shape, with full height storage on the left – both open shelves and closed storage. Once again, the cabinets are flush inset, similar to the kitchen. Note the stone base – still thinking that thru…
We’re looking at various Jerusalem Gold Limestone options for the floor, shower, wainscot and decorative tile. (This is the third master bath using this material in less than a year. Is this a trend?)
My vote is for the tile in image #2, with it’s variation in visual texture and tonality. I love what you could do for a backsplash in the kitchen with the tile in image #3 – a little rough and relaxed, while exuding loads of charm and sophistication.
It will be interesting to see where we all end up!
Cheers,
