My favorite wall colors from the new Farrow & Ball collection

Oh how I love a good wall color. Farrow + Ball is one of my favorite paint companies. Not only is the paint is 100 per cent water-based range, the new collection will be low odor, eco-friendly, safe and easy to use and available in a range of finishes. It’s also incredibly easy to paint with. I have painted rooms myself in F+B and it goes on the wall so beautifully.

Since they don’t put out new colors very often, I am always eager to see what they come up with. This year, not so many grays but more beautiful muted colors. My favorites are on trend with a soft pink and deep olive green.

BANCHA 298: This mid-century modern green is named after Japanese tea leaves, it provides a feeling of security.

Now for non-color, colors, I love the following off shade of white, its just so gorgeous. It sort of reminds me of a vintage white, which is much more calming and cozy than some of the bright white we see lately in the more modern spaces. I love the feeling of nostalgia.

SCHOOL HOUSE WHITE 291: The lightest in the group, this soft white is reminiscent of the color used in school houses.

We all know how much I love my black walls. This one is absolutely gorgeous, black without leaning towards dark grey or navy like some can be. This is a soft, simple and beautiful classic black.

PAEAN BLACK 294: This Georgian inspired red based black is a nod to the color of old leather hymnals which so often included a song of praise or paean.

Interior Goals: the Connecticut home of Loren Ridinger

This month marks 10 years that I have been living the entrepreneurial dream. I can remember one of my very first entrepreneuress muses was Loren Ridinger. I followed her blog forever and would read all of her lady boss tips and motivational wisdom. For years, I have been inspired by her.

I recently came across some images of her family home in Greenwich, Connecticut and fell madly in love. Black walls always catch my eye. This dining room just screamed out to me….GOALS! I love a good celebrity home but something about this home seems relatable yet still very sophisticated and glamorous. If you are wondering how to pull off black walls without being too dark, this is a beautiful way to do it. We all know how I feel about living in noir.

I’ve totally had my eye on this gold bar cart for a while now. It works well with the black and white theme. The black walls above the white moldings & built ins looks so beautiful. Totally reminiscent of Donatella Versace’s home office.

Here is a shot of the family room in a dark navy blue contrasted by white molding. Again, very sophisticated and chic. The low profile sofas keep in cozy and modern. Sort of reminds me of a Ryan Korban meets Mary Macdonald look. I absolutely love it.

K, so this bedroom. Absolutely stunning. So very glamorous yet with a little bohemian thrown in. I am all about that chic mix. The Kelly Wearstler fabric on the chairs? Such a fabulous statement in this room. I especially love the KW lamps.

Yet another black fabulous bedroom….not sure which one I like more.

I just adore this other bedroom look too. The lucite and brass bed is oh so chic. I am not sure where this one is from but I found one similar I may just have to spring for.
