The Simple Pleasures of Life

The Simple Pleasures of Life
Life can be complicated. In one single day we can experience everything from joyous elation to compete devastation. Or we juggle a dozen “to do’s”. I know I’m guilty of what has been termed “cramming 10 lbs. into a 5-lb. bag “- and no I don’t mean my jeans. Occasionally, we need to unwind and just enjoy a sweet simple moment. Nothing complicated, nothing outrageous, because sometimes simple is truly best.
The same came be said for our homes interiors- sometimes, simple is best. I don’t mean plain Jane, and certainly our homes interiors shouldn’t be boring. Boring is worse than outrageous. A boring interior doesn’t bring joy. A boring interior sucks the joy out of our lives and makes us depressed. Although I’m a true advocate for colorful interiors, sometimes simple is best.

Keeping the color pallet simple, a taupe metallic glaze over warm neutral beige is the perfect simple solution for this homes entry and dining room. The dining room ceiling is low compared to today’s standards, so it was important not to have the walls be too dark. The metallic glaze gives the area a soft light reflection. At the same time, this simple solution keeps the area from being plain Jane boring. The soft faux gives the home owner the perfect backdrop for her art pieces.
