I love this image which Interior Divine posted recently of a room in a converted farmhouse in South Africa. It's just so white and bright and fresh. I am loving, in particular, the non-existence of colour...I know that may sound strange coming from me!! I am also in-love with the particular collection of pieces in this room.

I'm in love with that quote. Snobby design sensibilities are so tiresome to me! -Jennie
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt that that is white done right! So glad your sale was a huge success and mothers day was wonderful! xx

Hee hee, I did a quick double-take when I read that, Anna, but it just shows your eye for beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your big sale! - hope you are/have recovered and have some time off to regroup before the new baby! KG
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, wondering if you have gone into labour yet!! I look forward to hearing your news, and Harry`s news, siblings are huge to little boys! I wrote to you last year to express my admiration, and I was so delighted that you replied to me, I am so grateful you took the time, in your busy schedule.. I have started a blog and I am posting my favourite things from A to Z and was up to letter B. I would like to post some photos of you and your store Black and Spiro for this post and would like permission to use some of your photos first? I am new to blogging and I want to use the correct protocol!!! I dont want to upset anyone! Good Luck with the baby too! You can never have too much good luck when it comes to babies!! Also, I really love seeing your work, you are so talented and it always amazes me how your style transends modern or traditional architecture; it doesnt seem to matter. Everything you always do looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am yours admiringly,
Laura Currie,

ReplyDeleteI have always loved white interiors but it can be a bit like living in a snowstorm.
ReplyDeleteAnna it is a fabulous room. Love the white on white with just a hint of neutrals. Something that is timeless. It would have such a calming influence on the soul

ReplyDeleteI love that this room still feels warm even without color.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!
There's a calming, ethereal quality about white spaces that make me just want to curl into a ball and take a long nap. This room is lovely.
ReplyDeleteGot to love white, so peaceful and relaxing. We recently repainted our house white and it was such a big decision on which colour white. My friends think I am crazy but it has to be the perfect shade.
ReplyDeleteLove it!! I just did a post of your mother's mantel on my blog..hope you like it!

ReplyDeleteI would love to do this with one of my rooms! It so serene and elegant! Thanks for inspiring! Best, Connie
ReplyDeleteI normally like a lot of color, but this room looks gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThere truly nothing is finer than that of a clean slate or a blank canvas. I love the all white look.
