My year has been crazy- and it only seems to be getting crazier.  I think that’s why when I spied Darryl Carter’s serene townhouse in November’s Elle Decor I was so instantly attracted to it.  I typically love lots of bright colors, but right now I’m craving a home that is complete devoid of anything bold- cream, white, brown and black with color coming from art and flowers instead, allowing the beauty of a space and it’s antiques to be the spotlight.

(the double tubs is pretty cool, however I can;t help but think of a Cialis ad….)

I was drawn to similar palettes in Candian House & Home as well-

Some more neutral spaces from PointClickHome.com and Orrick and Company.
