This painted roof access door shows a funky side that we love about our neighborhood, Fairmount, in Center City, Philadelphia. We love the odd angles, gray hues, and attention to details represented by the effort.

Sadie is taking in the view of the kitchen below. It is really quite something. There are no cabinets, the appliances are in the middle of the room, and the whole area is a dust zone. Her face tells the entire story - there is a lot to do. We are collecting our design thoughts in this blog, with a main goal of figuring out how to keep our whitewashed look interesting.

This photo gives us more white on white decor and style ideas for our home redo coming up soon. We are also thinking about textures for the space, and thinking that those will be derived from the fibers and materials of accessories. So our plan is white on white with earth tones and maybe zinc/gray tones for metallic items like the bed in the photo. (via lovelydesign)

Here is a serene setting we love in Lewes. We are looking for color cues to help us work out some design decisions for a house remodeling project we are about to begin.

Here’s a little fall color inspiration from our recent trip to Lewes, Delaware about two hours away from Philadelphia. We love the garden gate and pop of blue the chairs provide.
