New Color Palettes and Unique Homes: Friday Finds
School starts in a couple of weeks and it’s hard to believe the summer is coming to an end. Although technically, we’ve still got until September 21st before fall arrives. But it always feels like kids heading off to catch the bus is the signal of the start of another season. In the next month or so, I plan to do a lot of decluttering to make life a bit simpler and less scattered as we head into cooler weather. I bought a big stack of books on the cheap at the library’s summer sale and can’t wait to work my way through them as the days shorten and cool off. But enough of my current plans, let’s get into this week’s Friday Finds.
Let’s start with the topic of color! Explore the palette that designers are swapping out for farmhouse white. You’ll enjoy a selection of beautiful rooms that show the chosen colors that decorators are using to replace white and black.
Next – could you live in the heart of a bustling city like Chicago or New York? Check out this Chicago penthouse with city views out every window and let me know if you could live there. Personally, I’d need to see some greenery and nature out the windows – but there is a view of Lake Michigan from the breakfast bar!
Courtney, who blogs at French Country Cottage, recently shared a Christmas garden party in July. And while I’m not one for rushing the holiday season, her creation is quite magical.
Everyone loves a great kitchen, and Bre’s at Rooms for Rent is especially warm and inviting. See how she’s changed it over the years. It’s quite the transformation.
Want to see what paint colors are trending for 2027? I was happy to see that Dutch Tile Blue, the current color of my kitchen cabinets, was on Sherwin Williams’ list for the new year.
Finally, I’ll leave you with a tour of a charming home on a Scandinavian island. It’s one you can rent on Airbnb!
I could not live in Chicago penthouse. I have to have greenery, flowers and nature.
It makes me so happy to read an article about the declining popularity of the farmhouse look! There are also some beautiful rooms and colors featured….some great inspiration! Thanks
That penthouse was not for me. I have flower gardens in my yard and veggies too, where would I put those?!!!
