CHANNEL ISLANDS INTERIORS

Our Goal on this project was to create a home that would evoke the calming emotional response. We created a neutral background by painting all of the wood white and plastering over the dated lava rock fireplace. We kept the rest of the color palette neutral, using creams and light grays and a few blue accents. Then we filled the house with all of the things that had the same calming emotional feeling for us: old french shutters, a great baroque italian artifact over the bed, vintage wicker, swedish and english bamboo furniture. All were a little worn and faded with age Most of the items were purchased at local flea markets and antique shops. I searched for months for the right drapery fabric that was light enough to billow in the breeze and yet still allow for privacy.
