simple and serene

I really like the clean lines of built-in sofas, particularly for indoor-outdoor spaces like this one in Mauritania.  Unpretentious fabrics and simple tables give the tile floor center stage, making for a serene place to start the day or relax after a swim.  image:  Côté Sud Magazine linen & lavender see our new site: www.linenlavenderlife.com

Design Daily – The X factor

The X factor:  That intangible “something” that makes a person, place or thing special or intriguing. In design, restraint is often the most essential element in achieving the drama and intrigue we seek. A bare wall, an uncluttered tabletop —a stage for light and shadow to play out their dramatic roles.  linen & lavender see our new site: www.linenlavenderlife.com
